When it comes to stunning natural wonders, Norway’s mountains and fjords just scratch the surface.

Here’s how to indulge in the best and most traditional foods Norway has to offer—from brown cheese and reindeer meat to king crab and lutefisk.

Don your woolly sweater, slice up some cheese, pour some coffee (or a bit of akevitt) into your wooden mug, and settle in to reminisce about your Norwegian adventures.

Summer fjord visits and winter northern lights excursions are musts, but Norway has other equally fantastic sights and experiences—in town and country and throughout the year.

Norway is the country of mountains and fjords—nature’s “architectural” marvels—for sure, but the country also has many manmade and surprising architectural wonders.
