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?

I explored Svolvær and the Lofoten region during my first trip to Norway. Without having an enormous amount of love for this little city, I have a nice souvenir however, symbolising my two memories of the northern lights and sea excursions.
After taking a tour of Svolvær, you'll quickly understand why nearly 200,000 tourists go there every year: it's the perfect starting point for venturing into the Lofoten archipelago and exploring the hidden islands and fiords. With its regional airport and seaport (where the coastal express Hurtigruten stops), Svolvær is a crossing point more than anything else.
The scenery, however, is very nice with beautiful mountains and steep cliffs plunging right into the sea. When the sunrise decides to show the tip of its nose (in winter of course!), the show is very photogenic and there are many who enjoy it! Don't hesitate to enquire about the possibilities of an excursion at sea: my encounter with an osprey was an exceptionally intense moment and the highlight of my trip to Svolvær.
