# 41 Pictures That Prove Norway Really is Nirvana ...

In my opinion, Norway is the second most beautiful country on Earth. (Second to New Zealand). The beauty is sometimes beyond words so I'll let pictures do the talking. If you need reasons why Norway should be on your bucket list here they are:

## 1. Geiranger

![Geiranger,nature,geographical feature,landform,coast,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/c5/xi/t0qkb_geiranger_nature_geographical-feature_landform_coast_600x917.jpg)

Via [Beautiful Places in the world ...](https://hiroshi-nakanishi.tumblr.com/post/63084242433/wnderlst-geiranger-norway)
The most spectacular landscapes of Norway are the fjords - long narrow sea inlets often very deep with steep sided mountainous cliffs.

## 2. Bergen

Via [Color Your Fall](http://www.wsj.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com)
Bergen is a gorgeously quaint and charming seaside town.

## 3. The Atlantic Road
