Norway has one of the longest and most rugged coastlines in the world. Deciduous forests, which are a haven for red deer, elk and otters dominate the south. Deep fjords, a lasting result of the effect of the last ice-age, partition the country and help to create one of the most breathtakingly beautiful places in the world. Situated in Northern Europe, Norway's climate consists of mainly cool summers and fairly mild winters. As you move further inland, the winters become colder and there is more yearly rainfall on the West coast than anywhere else in Norway. In the north, the beautiful but barren expanse of the arctic tundra (Spitsbergen) is only 600 miles from the North Pole and is home to seals, whales, polar bears and other arctic animals, all in their natural environment. Norway is rich in natural resources and its rugged beauty (snow-capped mountains, blue glaciers and turquoise fjords) are one of the main attractions for visitors. There are a few beaches in the south where Norwegian families holiday in the summer months, but the majority of Norwegians (and visitors) come to enjoy the great outdoors. The whole country has a passion for outdoor activities throughout the whole year and Norway provides the perfect setting. There are ski and snow resorts and trails in the winter, hiking or sailing in the summer and plenty of fishing whenever you like. Norway proudly displays its Viking roots. The Vikings shaped the country's past and are an inherent part of present-day traditions. Folk music, art and architecture are still influenced by Viking traditions. Stave churches (which are built of wood and resemble Viking Ships) are an important part of modern Norwegian culture. Norway is rich in more than just its landscape. It has one of the highest standards of living in the world so you know that when you visit this magnificent country, you will be provided with all the facilities necessary to truly enjoy it in a setting you will never forget.

Toll charges are applied to all vehicles using some Norwegian motorways and roads, and you will also have to pay to enter some tunnels and cross some bridges. There are also charges levied to enter the cities of Oslo, Bergen, Stavanger and Trondheim. You must use dipped headlights during the day. Always carry your driving licence (minimum driving age is 17), vehicle registration document and certificate of insurance. You will need to have a photograph of yourself, either on the driving licence or in your passport. Seat-belts front and back are compulsory, and you are strongly advised to carry a fire extinguisher and a first-aid kit. Norwegian roads have the following speed limits: motorways 90km/h; other main roads 80km/h; built-up areas 50km/h. Radar traps are common and heavy on-the-spot fines are applied; make sure you are issued with a receipt. You will be driving on the right side of the road, so be extra careful when emerging from restaurants or petrol stations on the left. Do NOT drink and drive - Norway has the strictest drink driving laws in Europe.
