26 Real-World Places So Magical They Belong in a Fantasy Film

25. Reine, Norway: A Village on the Edge of Magic

Reine, nestled in Norway’s Lofoten Islands, is a tiny fishing village surrounded by snow-capped peaks, mirrored fjords, and skies that shimmer with midnight sun or aurora borealis, depending on the season. The red cabins (rorbuer) perched along the water seem like pieces of a fairy tale frozen in stillness. Whether kayaking through Arctic waters or simply watching the dance of northern lights from your cottage window, Reine offers a spellbinding blend of serenity and cinematic grandeur.
