1. Oslo
It is the capital of Norway and the largest city in the country. It is located between a fjord and forest areas, a location gives a special combination of nature and urban life.
In Oslo, the Vigeland Park, with its fantastic sculptures, is a must. Another essential place is the Holmenkollen, located in the outskirts and known for its impressive ski jump track. Nor should you miss the fortress of Akershus, a military complex with more than 7 centuries of history and a symbol in Norway.
2. Bergen
Another of its spectacular cities is Bergen, the second largest in the country. This beautiful city is located between mountain slopes overlooking the sea. Gateway to the fjords, it is simply charming.
It is worth wandering around its streets and especially knowing the Bryggen pier, with its row of colorful houses. A place declared a World Heritage Site that recalls the ancient splendor of the city. On one side is the Bergenhus fort, also very interesting.
3. Flam
Flam is one of the most beautiful and picturesque mountain villages in Norway. It is located in the heart of the Aurlandfjord fjord, between steep ravines with spaces marked by rugged hillsides, covered with thick forests.
Around it there are hundreds of waterfalls of great height. To top it off, it is bordered by a river along 20 kilometers. These are the reasons why they say that visiting Flåm is one of the most beautiful walks on the planet, especially by train, from where you can see snow-capped peaks and picturesque farms.
4. Stavanger
The landscapes of Stavanger are so wonderful they take your breath away, thanks to its incredible fjords, mountains and long white beaches. In addition, this city boasts an impressive variety of museums and cultural events, which is why it was the European Capital of Culture.
Its natural attractions are still its main attraction. They are essential to know places like the Lysefjord fjord, the beach of Sola and the famous Preikestolen. The latter is 504 meters above sea level and is the most visited attraction in Rogaland County.
5. Lofoten
The Lofoten are a group of islands known for their natural attractions, excellent fishing and small and isolated fishing villages. They are found among the waters of the Norwegian Sea, above the Arctic Circle.
This region has a wild nature in the middle of majestic mountains, deep fjords, colonies of seabirds and long beaches ideal for surfing. Nothing like walking in kayak, fishing for your life or sighting the eagles crossing the skies.
6. The Geiranger fjord
The Geirangerfjord is one of the most impressive places in Norway. Blue and deep, it is surrounded by majestic mountain peaks, wild waterfalls and a thick and lush vegetation. The waterfalls resonate on its almost vertical sides of the mountain. Among those that stand out are the waterfall of The Seven Sisters, The Pretender and the Bridal Veil.
This fjord offers many possibilities for enjoyment such as hiking, hiking, kayaking, fishing, rafting and cycling. An almost compulsory attraction is the Trollstigen mountain road, which winds its way between the steep slopes next to waterfalls. Although it is not for people sensitive to vertigo, it is a truly fascinating journey.
7. Tromso
This city is 350 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle. It is the largest city in the north of the country, with many attractions and places to see, such as several museums and its botanical garden. But its biggest attraction is that it is one of the best places in Norway to observe majestic northern lights.
If you want to live the experience of admiring the incredible natural phenomenon, visit Tromsø between September and March, which is the time to "hunt northern lights". Also in this place the midnight sun phenomenon occurs between May 20 to July 20. This makes it possible for the activities of the city to be extended 24 hours a day.
