6The Norwegian Fjords, Norway
Norway’s fjords belong on any European bucket list for travelers who want landscapes that feel larger than life. Sheer cliffs rise from deep blue-green water, waterfalls cascade down mountainsides and tiny villages appear between enormous stretches of wilderness.
A fjord cruise provides one of the easiest ways to appreciate the scale of the landscape, while road trips and scenic rail journeys offer completely different perspectives.
The experience is particularly impressive when combined with Norway’s changing seasons. Summer provides long daylight hours, while winter brings snow-covered scenery and opportunities to see the Northern Lights in the north.
