This one will be in front of you map of Norway in Russian, both in image format and an interactive satellite map.

The Land of the Midnight Sun, Norway, is a country of fjords, forests, lakes and waterfalls, of extraordinary purity and tranquility. Almost the entire territory of the country is covered with forests, and big cities and industrial centers are located on the shores of large fjords. Distinctive feature the capital of the country, Oslo, is the almost complete absence of transport on the roads, because the largest highways pass underground, which gives the city a touch of a certain provincialism. The spirit of medieval Europe literally permeates the air of Oslo; the entire city is filled with attractions that will delight you with their originality and architecture. For example, Arkeshus Castle, with its gloom and medieval spirit, will bring you closer to the traditions and customs of life of the Norwegian nobility. Parks with museums located on their territory will introduce you to masterpieces of painting and musical creations of great authors.

The variety of waterfalls located throughout the country will “breathe life” into even the most experienced travelers. The waterfalls of Vørginsfossen, Kjosfossen, Laxfossen amaze with their majesty and power. Endless mountains and glaciers create the impression of a journey to the sky itself.

Natural uniqueness and unforgettable architecture make Norway an attractive country to visit for the most discerning tourists.
