Summary

History of Norway, Culture of Norway, Travel and Tourism, the environment and people’s lifestyle of Norway. Introduction: Norway, (Full information on Norway is found the book title Norway History, Culture and Tourism) country of northern Europe that occupies the western half of the Scandinavian Peninsula. Nearly half of the inhabitants of the country live in the far south, in the region around Oslo, the capital. About two-thirds of Norway is mountainous, and off its much-indented coastline lie, carved by deep glacial fjords, some 50,000 islands. Indo-European peoples settled Norway’s coast in antiquity, establishing a permanent settlement near the present capital of Oslo some 6,000 years ago. The interior was more sparsely settled, owing to extremes of climate and difficult terrain, and even today the country’s population is concentrated in coastal cities such as Bergen and Trondheim
