Norway is a sparsely populated country, roughly the same land size as Great Britain or Germany. Car tourists will enjoy driving along the fjords and mountains in the west or to the midnight sun in the north..
It has a population of only 4.76 million people but a land area of 385,155 square kilometers. Norway was an old Viking kingdom. Economically it is known for its oil and seafood exports. In winter, cross-country skiing, alpine skiing and snowboarding are very popular. In summer, hiking and biking are obvious ways to enjoy the enormous mountain areas. Norway is a Christian country, so Sunday is considered a holy day and most business are closed Sundays. Many gas stations are open 24-7, some malls are partly open and restaurants are normally open, but this varies from place to place.Norway generally has big differences in daylight, temperature and driving conditions across seasons. For the adventurous, kayaking, wildwater rafting, paragliding, cave or glacier exploration are possible.
