Norway (/ˈnɔːrweɪ/ (About this sound listen) NAWR-way; Norwegian: About this sound Norge (Bokmål) 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 Glücksburg 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 Sámi people have a certain amount of self-determination and influence over traditional territories through the Sámi 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]

10 Reasons Norway is the Greatest Place on Earth
1. It's One of the Happiest Places on Earth
Norway ranked second in a 2013 world happiness report conducted by the United Nations. They looked at various factors, like life expectancy, prosperity, health, and social support, all indicating that Norway is a great place to be. Residents have also been known to have high satisfaction with their standards of living and feel they can choose the direction of their lives. Clearly, Norwegians have got it good.
2. The Allemannstret Law
Norway employs the law of Allemannstret which, essentially, is the freedom to roam wherever one chooses. It's a right of access law, which provides people with almost unlimited opportunities for using their outdoor surroundings. As long as the land is unfenced and far enough from a house, you can have a picnic, explore by foot or ski or anything else, sleep under the sky, have a campout, pick some flowers -- really anything you want.
4. Trolltunga is the Perfect Photo Op
How would you like to step out onto this huge piece of rock? Trolltunga, translating to Troll's Tongue in English, hangs out horizontally from the rock face at about 700 meters high. It's pretty spectacular, but just remember to leave your fear of heights behind.
5. And so is Kjeragbolten
Kjeragbolten Boulder is yet another spectacular spot in Norway that you can easily visit. Located in the Kjerag Mountains in Rogaland, a large glacial deposit is wedged between a mountain crevice over an abyss that's 984 meters deep. While stunning from afar, how would you like to stand atop it and gaze down at the drop below? Yikes! If you're gutsy enough you can (Allemannstret, remember?), just be sure not to slip...
6. Its Breathtaking Fjords
Norway is famous for its beautiful fjords. These deep sea inlets are easily accessible and just waiting to be explored, surrounded by stunning views and other natural wonders.
7. The Midnight Sun
For anyone who's ever resented twilight's darkness for putting a crimp on their fun day plans, you'll love Norway's midnight sun. Because Norway is situated above the Arctic Circle, during the summer, the country has 24-hours of daylight. Yep, the sun is out all day (and night) long. This leaves plenty of time for fun things to do, and you'll never have to worry about the night preventing you from participating in any great activities. Well, at least until winter rolls around that is.
8. It Has More Lakes than You Think
Sure, Finland may be the country known for its many lakes, giving that it's nicknamed the land of 1000 lakes and all. However, with about half a million lakes within its borders, Norway beats out Finland for total number of these bodies of water (the latter of which has about 188000). Norway also has some of the deepest lakes in Europe. So, sorry Finland, but, when it comes to lakes, Norways got you beat.
9. You can see the northern lights
Norway is home to the spectacular northern lights or aurora borealis. You can see the fantastic natural lightshow at certain times during the year, and gazing up above as the vibrant colors light up the surrounding skies is one of a kind. It's particularly great to view them from Lofoten islands.
10. Ferrying through Geirangerfjord
When in Norway, you can take a fantastic ferry ride through Geirangerfjord, a UNESCO world heritage site. There's some beautiful scenery and dramatic views, all of which you can enjoy while relaxing on deck.
11.Its Explorable Geography
Norway's geography includes 240000 islands and a coastline that stretches out for over 64000 miles. There's so much to explore you'll never get bored. So, what are you waiting for?

Preikestolen or Pulpit Rock is a famous tourist attraction in Norway. Towers 604 meters over the Lysefjord. It's one of Rogaland county's most visited destination and one of the best hikes in Norway.
The main hiking season for Pulpit Rock is from April to October and it'll take around four to five hours. It does get VERY crowded so try to arrive early in the morning.
After experiencing the hike I don't think it's the easiest but it is doable. Take breaks and bring water. It's all uphill so expect steep, steep steps. Right at the start it's all stairs!
Know that you can also experience Preikestolen from a fjord sightseeing boat or a car ferry.
During most of our time in Norway we stayed at Airbnbs (homes/rooms rented out by their owners). Airbnb is a WAYYY cheaper alternative to hotels. And you'll find in Norway - it's the way to go. Here's $40 free credit to get you started →
