Although Norway is best known for its stunning fjords and the flickering Northern Lights, the country is also home to several beautiful islands. Over 230,000 of them, to be exact, with the vast majority of them resting just off of the country’s rocky and mountainous coastline, which is one of the longest in the world.
Svalbard, an archipelago covered in glaciers, and Jan Mayen, a remote island in the Arctic Circle, are both much farther away. Some of Norway’s many islands are abandoned and inaccessible, while many others are populated by picturesque fishing villages and are hot spots for visitors looking to take in the country’s natural beauty.
The beautiful Lofoten Islands are among the most well-known and often photographed destinations in all of Norway, but the country’s extensive collection of islands guarantees that there’s something for everyone.
