Heart of The Norwegian

Monday, June 6th, 2011


The world’s longest fjord adventure, the Sognefjord, lies in the heart of the Norwegian fjord country and extends more than 200 km (120 miles) inland. The region where this deep fjord meets the glaciers and Norway’s highest mountains is considered one of the world’s most beautiful travel destinations. The greatest attraction of the Sognefjord is its immense variety of landforms gathered in one and the same region – from wide-open fjord landscapes and green hills to narrow fjord arms, massive mountain ranges and spectacular blue glaciers – creating the natural settings for small, idyllic fruit-growing villages, modern communities and isolated mountain farms.

Villas in Norway

Thursday, September 23rd, 2010

The Land of the Midnight Sun is an attractive place to visit and during the summer months the sun doesn’t set at all which is good news for those who wish to experience the nightlife available. The midnight sun is a natural phenomenon that occurs during fair reasonable weather in Finland. The length of the midnight sun depends on how far north you are. For example, at the Arctic Circle you can see it from the 12th of June to the 1st of July and at the North Pole it doesn’t set for 6 months.

There are many different holidays you can enjoy whilst visiting Norway but most choose to go self-catering in one of the many villas in Norway.
