Scandinavia has to be one of my favorite regions in the world. I’ve spent the last few years exploring Europe’s Nordic countries and I want to show you my favorite places to visit. From the fjords of Norway, to the Northern Lights in Sweden, Scandinavia offers so much variety and history! There’s just something magical about the Nordic and I hope everyone can experience them đ

In order to determine which countries are the best (and worst), we analyze a few categories including their health, happiness, economy, cost of living, crime and safety, education, infrastructure, culture, nature, and quality of life. I also implemented my personal experiences and the pros and cons of each location.
My biggest suggestion is to visit these places first to decide which country you want to move to and live in.

Norway (/ËnÉËrweÉŞ/ (About this sound listen) NAWR-way; Norwegian: About this sound Norge (BokmĂĽl) or About this sound Noreg (Nynorsk)),[10] officially the Kingdom of Norway, is a sovereign state and unitary monarchy whose territory comprises the western portion of the Scandinavian Peninsula plus the remote island of Jan Mayen and the archipelago of Svalbard.[note 1] The Antarctic Peter I Island and the sub-Antarctic Bouvet Island are dependent territories and thus not considered part of the Kingdom. Norway also lays claim to a section of Antarctica known as Queen Maud Land. Until 1814, the kingdom included the Faroe Islands, Greenland, and Iceland. It also included Bohuslän until 1658, Jämtland and Härjedalen until 1645, Shetland and Orkney until 1468, and the Hebrides and Isle of Man until 1266.
Norway has a total area of 385,252 square kilometres (148,747 sq mi) and a population of 5,258,317 (as of January 2017).[12] The country shares a long eastern border with Sweden (1,619 km or 1,006 mi long). Norway is bordered by Finland and Russia to the north-east, and the Skagerrak strait to the south, with Denmark on the other side. Norway has an extensive coastline, facing the North Atlantic Ocean and the Barents Sea.
King Harald V of the Dano-German House of GlĂźcksburg is the current King of Norway. Erna Solberg became Prime Minister in 2013, replacing Jens Stoltenberg. A constitutional monarchy, Norway divides state power between the Parliament, the Cabinet and the Supreme Court, as determined by the 1814 Constitution. The kingdom is established as a merger of several petty kingdoms. By the traditional count from the year 872, the kingdom has existed continuously for 1,144 years, and the list of Norwegian monarchs includes over sixty kings and earls.
Norway has both administrative and political subdivisions on two levels: counties and municipalities. The SĂĄmi people have a certain amount of self-determination and influence over traditional territories through the SĂĄmi Parliament and the Finnmark Act. Norway maintains close ties with the European Union and the United States. Norway is a founding member of the United Nations, NATO, the Council of Europe, the Antarctic Treaty, and the Nordic Council; a member of the European Economic Area, the WTO, and the OECD; and is also a part of the Schengen Area.
The country maintains a combination of market economy and a Nordic welfare model with universal health care and a comprehensive social security system. Norway has extensive reserves of petroleum, natural gas, minerals, lumber, seafood, fresh water, and hydropower. The petroleum industry accounts for around a quarter of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP).[13] On a per-capita basis, Norway is the world’s largest producer of oil and natural gas outside the Middle East.[14][15]
The country has the fourth-highest per capita income in the world on the World Bank and IMF lists.[16] On the CIA’s GDP (PPP) per capita list (2015 estimate) which includes territories and some regions, Norway ranks as number eleven.[17] It has the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund, with a value of 960 billion USD.[18] Since 2009, Norway has the highest Human Development Index ranking in the world, a position also held previously between 2001 and 2006.[19] It also has the highest inequality-adjusted ranking.[20][21][22] Norway ranks first on the World Happiness Report,[23] the OECD Better Life Index, the Index of Public Integrity, and the Democracy Index.[24]

TRAVEL to NORWAY | TOP 10 INCREDIBLE places to visit. Thinking about visiting the country of perfect landscapes? Check out our travel guide before your trip! We will show you highlights of our Norway journey to help you plan the perfect Scandinavian adventure.
Our TOP 10 Norway:
1. Trolltunga: Trolltunga is an iconic landscape, often mistaken as a fjord, however the viewpoint from Trolltunga actually overlooks lake Ringedalsvatnet. The marble blue waters below and the dramatic granite cliffs are a perfect backdrop for the troll tongue stone jutting from the mountainous edge. There are several routes you can take to get to Trolltunga. You can do the âFullâ hike starting at Skjeggedal but plan for a 27 km in and out rough and rugged cardiovascular workout. We opted for the easier option which since 2010 allows you to part at the base of of the hike, and catch a but to the top of MĂĽglitopp. From there you will hike roughly 20 km in and out and it can fairly easily be done in one day. We opted to camp so we count try and get some amazing sunrise and sunset shots, and it certainly didnât disappoint.
2. Senja: A lot of people take about Senja as either a mountain or a hike. Itâs actually an Island. What most people are actually referring to is Segla. Its a fairly shot hike to the top, medium difficulty and is highly recommended at sunrise. You will get amazing colors complementing the backdrop of this dramatic rock formation.
3. Henningsvaer: Henningsvaer or henningsvĂŚr and the hike to the viewpoint is near the top of the list for Lofoten Islands. The city is a beautifully aesthetic set of islands connected by small and medium bridges. The town itself is unique and has a distinct âfishermanâ vibe. No surprise because this city has been home to some of the original nordic fisherman. The hike itself starts just out of town and up a sneaky hidden path. There are several viewpoints along the way to the top but we certainly recommend going all the way up so you can see the full 360 panoramic beauty of the area.
4. Manning Mountain and Haukland Beach: Near Haukland Beach â VestvĂĽgøy, about 10 km north of Leknes. The beach itself is gorgeous and you will find a lot of campers around the area to hang out with. But donât miss the fairly easy hike to the top of Manning Mountain to get a stunning view of the white sand beach and turquoise waters below.
5. Reine- Reine is everything you have seen and gasped over in Norway. It is adorned with perfectly placed red fishing houses and is the quintessential Norway Iâm sure you have seen many times before. Try and catch a sunset near the bridge that leads into the town itself and you may find yourself with one of the most amazing pictures you have ever taken. For an even better view of the city, tab the time to plan a hike up Reinebringen. The views are spectacular for an easy to medium difficulty trek
6. Atlantic Ocean Road: This stretch of road connects several small Islands north of Alesund. It is a phenomenal drive to the road itself and on the road. We recommend visiting during the evening when you have a chance to catch a stunning sunset over the iconic arching bridge the road is famous for.
7. Alesund: Alesund or Ă lesund, the Art Nouvaou hasnât always been what it is today. Itâs turbulent history was exacerbated by a fire that burned the mostly wooden town to the ground in 1904. Although had the fire not occurred the town surely would not be the beautiful work of art it is today. Donât forget to make your way to the Alesund viewpoint just east of town to get a stunning view of the city.
8. Voringsfossen: Voringsfossen or vøringsfossen is one of those places that you just have to stop by if youâre within even 50 km within reach. This dramatic double waterfall is easily accessible to all and offers an amazing viewpoint to the crashing waters below.
9. Geirangerfjord: It seems everyone has heard of Geirangerfjord, and for good reason. The town offers a ton of viewpoints as well as one of the most recognizable serpentine roads in the country, likely second to Trollsteigen. If you are an adventurer, donât forget to research the secret, and slightly dangerous rocky viewpoint accessible from Flydals viewpoint.
10: Crusing Senjaâs National Tourist Route: There are not many routes in the world that rival the beauty of Senjaâs National Tourist route. It is a full loop around Senja Island. And if youâre lucky you might just see the largest known flock of Puffins in the world. There are over 80,000 puffins that frequent the area in the peak season and live one and around Bleiksøya.

That has given me extensive knowledge of what Norway has to offer, also outside the most touristic places. This list includes some true hidden gems you might not have heard of before.
Norway is a fantastic country, and this list couldâve been much, much longer. But these are my favorites, and Iâm sure youâll love them too.
The full list:
1. Senja

1. Femundsmarka
4. Loenvatnet
5. Valdres
6. Hardanger
7. Helgeland
8. Lofoten

EuropeâŚthereâs no other place like it in the world. Its fabulous monuments reveal one layer of history after another, and its breathtaking natural scenery couldnât be more diverse. From wild to elegant, its countries bring together a kaleidoscope of cultures, and the landscapes are as intriguing as its past.
They say that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder, so, naturally, many of you will disagree with my picks for Europeâs top 10 most beautiful countries, in which case I invite you all to leave your thoughts in the comment section.

My new Oslo Travel Guide includes these carefully selected 30 things to do & best places to visit in Oslo, Norway which I visited during a warm summer weekend ranging from gems like the Frogner Park, Viking Ship Museum, Whale Sushi, Stratos rooftop, eating black licorice ice cream and tips for the vibrant Oslo nightlife. Subscribe to my channel âş https://bit.ly/2aeuh9b for weekly videos!
I did not have high expectations for Oslo but during this warm summer weekend the city offers many outdoor attractions, a great place to start is Aker Brygge to try the local delicacy Polse, a fancy hot dog rolled in bacon and injected with cheese than from Aker Brygge walk to the other popular attractions like the Royal Palace, Karl Johans Gate shopping street, Vippa, the Opera House or Sorenga Sjobad outdoor beach deck.

Oslo is the capital of Norway and its metropolitan area has a population of 1.5 million including their royal family since Norway is a kingdom and is the only country in the world with territories in both the Arctic and Antarctica.
One important thing you must keep in mind; Oslo is extremely expensive and is rated one of the most expensive city in the world by Forbes Magazine, to give you an example, a simple hot dog will set you back $6 US dollars and that is considered on the cheap side.
In return for being an expensive city you get a very safe and easy going Scandinavian city experience. Public transit is easy to use and many signs and menus at restaurants are in English. The most bizarre dish I’ve had must have been the Brown Cheese Ice Cream for which you’ll have to watch my Oslo video.
The Frogner Park must have been the most unique sculpture park I’ve ever been to, it is world’s largest sculpture park by a single artist. Created by Gustav Vigeland between 1924 and 1943 with incredible sculptures like the angry boy and consist out of 200 works.
My favorite museum in Oslo is the Norwegian Museum of Cultural History for having a lot of great performances, historic foods and snacks to try and the overall feeling like you got transported back to the Viking ages.
Out of the blue I received a Facebook message from my American buddy Andrew who was coincidentally stopping by Oslo on his way home from the Arctic Norwegian island Svalbard to the United States. I met up with him and his girlfriend at the famous fish restaurant Fiskeriet Youngtorget for the freshest Norwegian salmon I’ve ever tasted.
After lunch I took my friends to the Akershus Fortress for the best view of Oslo and a little historic tour through Norway’s Resistance Museum which teaches about the Nazi occupation of Norway during WW2.
For dinner I wanted to try true Norwegian cuisine and luckily Rorbua on Aker Brygge is known for having some of the best dishes in town. I ordered the Tastes of Norway meat stick with meats; Whale, Deer, Beef & Reindeer. An incredible dish with as winner: Reindeer for being extremely juicy, this dish cost me around $45 US dollars and don’t forget to add the typical Norwegian beer Hansa.
Before the night falls, grab a few cocktails at either the Magic Ice Bar for some Norwegian Ice Wine or on top of the Thief Rooftop patio for the most upscale cocktail bar in town.
In conclusion, Oslo is a great 2 to 3-day stop over during the summer to enjoy a few outdoor activities, learn about the history of Norway and make many new friends, especially during the weekend nightlife of Oslo but for that you’ll have to read my next article.
