Norway: Updates & Travel

Travel in Norway

• Vast wild plains, fjords, glaciers and snow-capped mountains; the nature in Norway is beautiful. Too bad the country is expensive, otherwise Oslo would probably be a popular city for a city trip.
• For the Northern Lights you will have to go into the icy cold in the winter, but it is an experience that you will always remember.
• Take a boat trip along one of the many fjords, especially in the middle of summer you will be amazed because the sun does not set. The Hardanger Fjord is one of the most visited fjords (near Bergen), with beautiful nature in the area. Hardangervidda National Park is recommended.
• Between Bergen and Oslo you will come across the Vøringsfossen waterfall.
• For winter sports enthusiasts, Norway is a paradise, with thousands of kilometers of ski and cross-country trails and great slopes.
• Take a trip on the Jostedalsbreen, the largest glacier in Europe.
• When in Oslo: Visit the royal palace: Kongelige Slott and Åkershus Castle and do some culture in one of the museums such as the Munch museum (the one with the Scream).
• Bergen still has original wooden houses and a nice fish market. From here you can take a cable car to the top of one of the surrounding mountains for a beautiful view over Sognefjord and Hardangerfjord.
• Visit Trondheim, it is the old capital of Norway, and even though it is now mainly known as an industrial city, the center is cozy partly because of the technical university that is located there.
• Fredrikstad is still almost completely walled. Nearby are the Hvaler islands, where many Norwegians spend the summer.
• Even though Alesund is more of a village than a city, the beautiful houses are worth a visit.
