Norway
is a beautiful country with amazing natural beauty. Norway's main
attraction is the country itself, the nature, the landscape, the fresh air, the
endless summer days, the bright winter days, the endless space.
Its
mountain fjords are breathtaking along with the one train ride that takes you
there, the Bergen Railway line. Try the "Norway in a nutshell" tour
to experience the most of the different Norwegian nature has to offer quickly.
The western and northern fjords can also be enjoyed by driving your own
car. The coast and fjords can be experienced from the Hurtigruten (coastal
cruise) or shorter trips on regular express passanger boats ("hurtigbåt").
A
number of Norway's cities are worth a visit, but several cultural
attractions, such as the unique & ancient stave churches, are in
remote rural areas. These stave churches ("stavkirke") are often
located in a great natural scenery in the fjord or mountain area.
Cities:
Trondheim -
nice old city with a fabolous cathedral, a religious centre of Northern
Europe in catolic times
Bergen - the charming old city itself surrounded by mountains and water,
was for centuries Norway's main city and a cosmopolitan trading centre, still
the main city in western fjord region
Ålesund - splendid art noveau centre, great location on string of
islands stretching into the Atlantic, the regional capital of the north-west
Oslo
- the capital, the city itself is less charming, but offers some great
museums (Viking ships), some major sights and good nightlife, great location on
a major fjord
Stavanger - charming wooden city, the petroleum capital.
While
travel writers often talk about the stereotypical "land of contrasts",
well Norway is just that.
By
turns snowy, rainy, sunny, moody and majestic, Norway is a prime travel
Scandinavian travel destination at any time of year.
Fjords,
mountains, and glaciers are the main attractions of this natural wonder - which
like Denmark, its neighbor
to the south - offers travelers a varied contrast of winter's northern
lights and the midnight sun of summer.
First
time visitors are often amazed by the variety of other things to see in summer
and discover mountain forests, salmon-filled rivers, and flower-strewn meadows
dotted by ancient wooden stave
churches.
From
its capital in Oslo,
quiet rural landscapes give way to deep fjords along Norway's western coast
while Bergen, - a
major must-see situated along winding mountain roads - sits snuggly overlooking
the sea.
And
just before entering the wilds of the north looms Nidaros
Domkirke, the famous cathedral in the lively university town of Trondheim,
Norway's third largest city.
In the
natural frontier between the main urban areas are wonders such as Jostedalsbreen,
Europe’s largest glacier, and the Dovrefjell - home of Grieg’s mythical
Mountain King.
