• There’s no denying that
Norway is one of the most
spectacular places in the
world - and that’s a heavy
sentence.
• If you’ve never been to the
breathtaking country that’s
home to over 240,000
islands and a coastline that
spreads out for over
64,000 miles, you’d better
start planning your next
vacation.
• The sites throughout the
entirety of Norway are
ones you don’t want to
miss.
• There truly is nowhere like
Norway, and if you don’t
believe that - here are just
a few of the many reasons
why you should…
• First, Norway has an extremely low crime rate. In fact, it’s one of the
safest countries in the world.
• Not only is the murder rate way below average (and almost invisible),
but the incarceration rate is low as well.
• Insight as to why Norway
has one of the lowest
crime rates on an
international level is due
to the fact that the
people who live there are
some of the happiest
people on earth!
• According to an article
published by The Huffington
Post, “In the United Nation’s
2013 World Happiness
Report, Norway took the
second place spot. The report
surveyed 156 countries and
looked at a number of factors,
including life expectancy and
health, freedom and social
support,” (Miller, 25 Reasons
Why Norway is the Greatest
Place on Earth).
• Another reason why
Norway should be at
the top of your travel
list is because of its
allemannsrett law,
which translates to “all
men’s rights,” giving
any human being the
ability and freedom to
roam and access all
uncultivated land.
• This means you can hike and pitch your tent on any land that is non-cultivated.
• It may not seem like a big deal, but this rule allows you to explore all of the
beautiful land that Norway has to offer, not to mention the jaw-dropping views
that you can’t even imagine until you see for yourself.
• Norway’s fjords are another reason the country is out-of-this-world
beautiful.
• Predominately located on the western coast of Norway, fjords form
when glaciers retreat and sea water floods into the valleys.
• The climate around areas
where there are fjords
tend to be refreshingly
mild and offer plentiful
opportunities for outdoor
activities, such as hiking
and fishing.
• The Sognefjord is Norway’s deepest fjord, and drops
1,308 meters below sea level.
• Last on this list is Norway’s natural phenomenon that occurs
each summer in northern Norway - 24 hours of visible sun.
• Seeing the sun at a midnight hour not only sounds poetic, but it will
leave you with new perspectives on life and excited about all the
beauty the world has to offer.
• Overall, there are too
many reasons why you
should make Norway
your next place to
visit, and you’ll
discover even more
when you arrive there
yourself.
• So book the ticket,
take the journey, and
explore a place that’s
unlike any other.
