The majority of tourists visiting Norway are firstly interested in what the nature has to offer. From cruise ships, buses and trains, visitors to Norway enjoy the spectacular scenery of deep fjords, high mountains and the midnight sun. The Norwegian tourism industry primarily promotes Norway as 'a pure escape' and a place for outdoor adventures. Culture is an important part of what Norway has to offer, but is rarely emphasised in general tourist information. It is therefore recommended that tourists with a special interest in cultural tourism use this site to find cultural institutions in the areas they want to visit.

The Norwegian Tourist Board has now been incorporated into Innovation Norway please click here for more information.
