Norway is full of dichotomies. It boasts beautiful summertime weather, but is best known as a winter destination. It is full of both cosmopolitan cultural centers and quaint, rural fishing villages. The historic Stavanger region has been growing due to its oil industry. Meanwhile, visitors can get views of coastal Norway from cruise ships sailing by Tromsø. Whale safaris are popular in Andenes, while the Flåm Railway is a great way to view all types of scenery. Beitostølen receives many tourists due to its many winter activities. In this video, http://www.WatchMojo.com takes a look at a few of the small cities and villages found in Norway.
