Europe

Norway is unique in more ways than one: for a start, it’s the northernmost country in Europe, with the smallest density in the continent. It also holds number one place in the world in Human Development Index.Norway’s not just a country boasting the highest quality of life, though, it’s also one that’s fantastic to travel! A trip to Norway is like entering the home of Mother Nature herself. Sea and mountain have joined forces to form sublime landscapes:Natural Parks, lakes, glaciers, forests, and stunning fjords. Norway is a country whose scenery changes with the seasons:in summer, prepare for days that go on forever, and a glowing sun that shines even at midnight… In winter, Nature puts on its white jacket and the snow sports begin. It’s also the season during which the Northern Lights are at their most spectacular. Frankly, this ethereal phenomenon alone is worth making the trip! Conveniently, Norway is also&nbsp;an ideal destination for a family trip: what child wouldn’t want to take a visit to the homeland of Father Christmas?

The Vesterålen islands are a destination where all types of outdoor activities are possible: day hikes, bike rides, sea kayaking, boat rides, whale watching, etc.
Take advantage of its location in the far western part of the archipelago to visit some of the island's lighthouses. Some are even used as lodging for long-term travellers, accommodating them in exchange for their services. I can still remember walking on a white sand beach, alone, at the foot of some impressive mountains. And the charming and isolated hamlet of Andenes will send shivers up your spine in the thick fog!
If civilisation appeals to you, be sure to take a trip to Sortland, the archipelago's main town. Though they are relatively unknown, the Vesterålen islands are essential in my opinion for any trip to Norway.
