Norway is the European country with the longest coastline, stretching over 100,000 km when you include all of its fjords and islands. Although Norway is not a member of the European Union, it is considered a part of Europe geographically and culturally.

The country's jagged coastline is the result of the Ice Age and glacial erosion. It is a source of national pride and is known for its stunning natural beauty. Norway's coastline is home to numerous fjords, which are long, narrow inlets that were formed by glacial erosion. The most famous of these is the Geirangerfjord, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Other European countries with notable coastlines include:

  • Spain - 7,880 km
  • Sweden - 3,218 km
  • France - 3,427 km
  • Italy - 7,600 km (including islands)
