Norway
Norway is a country of contrasts, with scenery so varied it never ceases to amaze. In summertime it is the land of the Midnight Sun; in winter, the land of the Northern Lights. Norway is a land of tradition, exemplified by its rustic stave churches and its folk dances. But Norway is also modern. This technologically advanced nation is rich in petroleum and hydroelectric energy. One of the last great natural frontiers of the world, Norway invites exploration, with its steep and jagged fjords, salmon-filled rivers, glaciers, mountains, and meadows. In the winter, the shimmering aurora borealis (northern lights) are the lure, before giving way to the midnight sun of summer.

Tromso
The beautiful city of Tromso or `Paris of the North` was first established as a community on the Tromsoya Island back in the Middle Ages. Unique arctic phenomena can be admired here - midnight sun from May 14 to July 30, the winter total dark between November 25 and January 21 and the magnificent Aurora Borealis. The marvelous natural environment, surrounded by mountains, islands and fjords, offers great opportunities for outdoor activities. The most famous landmark is the Arctic Cathedral, but you can also find here a 13th century church, admire the permanent exhibit on the Lapps at the Tromso Museum or get familiar with various aspects of arctic life and nature at the Polar Museum and Polaria Experience Center. You can enjoy a good meal 420 meters above the Nordic Sea after admiring the city panorama from the Mountain Cable car "Fjellheisen".

Alta
Alta is the communication centre of the largest and less populated Norwegian region - the extreme northeast Finnmark. It can be easily reached by plane directly from Oslo or by highway. The local culture and traditions are a mixture of Norwegian and Lappish (Sammi) culture, as Alta belonged for many years only to Northern Scandinavia indigenous people and was under Finland's administration. Alta offers magnificent natural sites and views, being the perfect place to enjoy the unique aurora borealis. Take your time to admire the Altafjorden, the large canyon carved out by the river Altaelva and the prehistorical rock carvings nearby - the former being a cultural heritage protected by UNESCO.
