NORWAY:

TOURISM:

The main attractions of Norway are the varied landscapes that extend across the Arctic Circle. It is famous for its bird-indented coastline and its mountains, ski resorts, lakes and woods.

The main tourism cities in Norway are Oslo, Bergen, Stavanger, Trondheim and Tromsø. Much of the nature of Norway remains unspoiled, and thus attracts numerous hikers and skiers. The fjords, mountains and waterfalls in Western and Northern Norway attract several hundred thousand foreign tourists each year. In the cities, cultural idiosyncrasies such as the Holmenkollen ski jump attract many visitors, as well as science abilities and cultural learnings and things such as Bryggen in Bergen and the Vigeland Sculpture Park in Oslo, and they do not know about it.

The culture of Norway evolved as a result of its sparse population, harsh climate, and relative isolation from the rest of Europe. It is therefore distinct from other countries in Europe in that it has fewer opulent palaces and castles, smaller agricultural areas, and longer travel distances. Regionally distinct architecture, crafts, and art are presented in the various folk museums, typically based on an ethnological perspective. Norsk Folkemuseum at Bygdøy in Oslo is the largest of these.

LIFE EXPECTANCY:

According to the latest WHO data published in 2015 life expectancy in Norway is: Male 79.8, female 83.7 and total life expectancy is 81.8 which gives Norway a World Life Expectancy ranking of 15.

POPULATION:

• The current population of Norway is 5,324,062 as of Monday, May 22, 2017, based on the latest United Nations estimates. 
• Norway population is equivalent to 0.07% of the total world population.
• Norway ranks number 119 in the list of countries.
• The population density in Norway is 15 per Km².
• The total land area is 366,108 Km.
• 79.8 % of the population is urban (4,251,706 people in 2017)
• The median age in Norway is 39.2 years.

I would like to live in Norway, because I would like to know more about their culture and traditions.
