Norway - Jens-Uwe Kumpch

Marco Polo Norway: the Travel Guide with Insider Tips Fully revised and updated for 2016. Now with new Discovery Tours chapter. Norway - a country where the pace of life is different. It is paradise for nature lovers, shaped by environmental and climatic extremes. The beauty of the landscape, the culture rooted in ancient traditions and the hospitable people make Norway a fascinating destination. This practical, pocket-sized guide leads you to the beaches and islands, to mighty glaciers and vast plateaus, and along the spectacular fjords that cut right in to the mountains. Norway offers a wide range of attractions: skiing and hiking can be just as much a part of your holiday as the unique stave churches or a cruise along the endless coast, as seen in the Trips & Tours chapter. The Insider Tips reveal where you can play golf under the midsummer sun and where you can find Scandinavia's smallest church. The Best Of pages highlight unique aspects of Norway, recommend what to do for free, have tips for rainy days and for where you can relax and unwind. You will also find out What's Hot in Norway, from innovative comics to cool eco fashion.
