Saint Hans night
Norway, located so far from the Slavic territories, nevertheless has one amazing holiday that coincides with the well-known holiday of Ivan Kupala. Only in these places does it have the Norwegian name Hans, and it is celebrated on June 23rd.
On this day, in many places in Norway, according to the well-known tradition, bonfires are lit, only old boats are not burning firewood. In the northern regions, they are in no hurry to make a fire, the "midnight sun" and so illuminates everything around.
Friendship apart
Many tourists believe that the countries of the Scandinavian Peninsula always act as a united front and stand behind each other like a mountain. This is not the case, and the holiday on June 7, which is celebrated in Norway, confirms this. On this day, more than a hundred years ago, the union with Sweden was dissolved. This is not just a holiday, this is a flag day. On June 7, the whole of Norway is decorated with symbols of independence - national flags.
Oslo Walking Tour
In the northern capital, a tourist will find many amazing and beautiful places, wonderful architectural complexes. Many people start their journey around the city with a visit to the Royal Palace, built 200 years ago. In addition to the palace building itself, there is a large park, ponds, lakes, monuments and sculptures. Excursions are organized around the palace in May.
Akershus Fortress and Castle is a masterpiece of Norwegian architecture and the most visited place among city guests. An elegant palace complex is hidden behind the massive walls of the fortress. The state rooms, the chapel, the museum, which will acquaint you with the history of the palace, are worthy of attention. By the way, the entrance to the fortress is free for everyone, but for visiting the ceremonial halls or the museum you will have to part with a certain amount of crowns.
