FIVE MUST-SEE CITIES IN NORWAY
Norway is a beautiful
Scandinavian country known for its historical landmarks, Viking heritage, and
abundance of natural beauty.
There is so much to discover in Norway, from large metropolitan cities to charming fishing villages and picturesque fjords.
Whether you are coming for the culture or to spend time outdoors, here are the five must-see cities in the country.
- OSLO
As the capital city of Norway, Oslo is the most visited city in the country.
However, unlike most
capital cities, Oslo has a unique balance of natural beauty and modern
innovations.
The city itself overlooks the Oslo Fjords to one side with panoramic mountain views on the other.
While you're in Oslo, be sure to check out the Norwegian Folk Museum and Viking Ship Museum for a glimpse into the country's past.
- BERGEN
As the second-largest city
in Norway, Bergen has a lot to offer.
Bergen is a quintessential Norwegian town with old wooden boathouses that date back to the 12th century.
The old wharf is a designated UNESCO World Heritage site and delights visitors with its old cobblestone streets and colorful buildings.
No visit to Bergen is complete without sampling the local seafood.
- TRONDHEIM
Perfectly positioned in the middle of Norway's coastline is the town of Trondheim.
As the country's third-largest city and former capital, Trondheim features a vibrant cafe culture in the colorful old quarter.
As you walk the city's street, you'll be surrounded by plenty of Norwegian history and culture.
Be sure to visit the Nidaros Cathedral while in Trondheim, the northernmost medieval cathedral in the world!
- HENNINGSVAER
Located on the Lofoten
Islands is the charming fishing village of Henningsvaer.
Located just inside the Arctic Circle, the town is known for its brightly painted houses that rise out of the sea and stand out against the harsh elements.
Throughout the year, the town can experience beautifully clear days with 24-hours of sunlight or be completely blanketed in fresh snow.
One of the best ways to experience Henningsvaer is to charter a boat and take a cruise around the islands.
- TROMSO
Despite its remote
location deep within the Arctic Circle, Tromso is one of Norway's most
beautiful cities.
Not only is it known for being a fantastic place to see the Northern Lights, but visitors can also enjoy dog sledding, spot reindeer, and tour centuries-old houses in this arctic winter wonderland.
No matter where you choose to travel in Norway, you’ll be treated to breathtaking natural beauty and stunning architecture that will leave you in awe.
