In another boost to British travellers, green-listed Norway has announced no more quarantine on arrival for those able to show their NHS Covid Vaccine Passport.

It gives fresh hope to holidaymakers hoping to escape for a break away to Norway, especially those eyeing up the slopes.

In a world beauty contest, Norway would have a very good shot at taking first place on the podium.

Part of Scandinavia, sitting above right of the UK and next to Sweden, Norway has a population of 5 million with 64,000 miles of coastline and 240,000 islands.

It is a land characterised by magical mountains, deep fjords, endless lakes, glaciers, stunning rock formation and wild polar bears – it’s hard to believe Norway exists, but not that it was the inspiration for the beautiful landscapes of Disney juggernaut Frozen.

It's also one of the best places in the world to see the Northern Lights, and polar bears and wild reindeer in the wild.

As well as natural beauty in unfair abundance, Norway boasts a seriously happy population, which is always a plus when visiting a country.

It has endless colourful, buzzing coastal towns punching well above their size in terms of culture, a creative food scene, fisherman’s cottages to camp out in during the summer and an outdoor lifestyle of skiing, kayaking and hiking.
