The map of Norway above shows the major cities and surrounding countries of Norway.
Norway contains the most dramatic natural scenery in Europe — fjords carved by glaciers that make Swiss valleys look modest, a northern coastline where the sun doesn't set for two months, and an aurora borealis that appears so reliably above Tromsø that the hotels have glass-roofed cabins to watch it from bed.
