Gustav Vigeland
Norway
Norway is a land of fjords and spectacular mountains. In winter, the snow and ice gives it a magical appearance. The capital, Oslo, boasts the incredible Vigeland sculpture park; it pays to have a guide to explain the meaning of the sequence of thousands of works. A trip on the ferry service, Hurtigruten, will take you along the entire coastline from Bergen to Kirkenes, with a view of the northern lights if you're lucky. Don't miss out on the various Troll museums, a feature of Norway's culture. Some of the mountains do look like trolls.
