Norway is a pretty good travel destination as compared to other countries. If you want snow capped mountains, picturesque lakes and forests, then Norway has a lot of those to show. The good thing about Norway is that since it is already an established tourist destination, the routes are also well established and a number of packages are being offered to travelers. Any concerns they have are addressed by scattered tourist help centers.

Since Norway has a lot to offer, let’s being with some of the more popular interesting places in the country. By now you should have figured out that Norway has a lot of unspoiled natural beauty. Among the top destinations are the Geirangerfjord and Lofoten.

Geirangerfjord is famous for, well its fjords. Fjords are long, narrow inlets that were created by glaciers. Norway’s fjords are pretty famous for their majestic views and natural wonders. You can get to see a number of waterfalls as famous as the fjords themselves like the Seven Sisters, the Bridal Veil, and the Suitor. Geirarangerfjord has been included in UNESCO’s list of World Heritage sites in recognition to its natural beauty and the importance of preserving the area for future generations to see.

Lofoten, on the other hand, is filled with a number of outdoor activities where tourists adults and children alike can enjoy. There’s the Lofotr Viking Museum which has a good collection of various relics from the Viking Age, which is another thing Norway is famous for. Lofoten also hosts the World Championship in Cod Fishing and other sports activities like hiking, biking and even golf.

Similarly, Lillehammer hosts a number of cultural, educational and outdoor activities for tourists including skiing. The place is less than 200 km from Oslo and is visited by millions of tourists every year. You might fee crowded but you can stay here a day or two just to see what the fuss is all about. It has the largest lake in Norway, lake Mjosa.

Aside from these places, you have a ton of other interesting things that you can do in Norway. Hiking for one is a personal favorite. You can enjoy the sceneries on your own pleasure and Norway’s great outdoor is way too different than what I’ve experienced before. Another personal favorite is biking. With the country’s natural wonders every kilometer you travel is worth it. Plus, most of the public transportations like cruise ships, ferries and even planes allow you to bring your bike on board.

Western Norway is known as being particularly dense with fjords, you can also see the natural wonders in certain other regions of the country.

As well as getting up close and personal with these awe-inspiring sights, you may also want to enjoy the cultural attractions that can be found in Fjord Norway’s various towns.

These include Alesund in Sunnmore – which boasts beautiful architecture, a huge aquarium and some interesting museums – as well as Tromso, which is surrounded by mountains, and Bergen, the medieval gateway to the fjord region.

Visitors may also want to head to the North Cape for more amazing scenery and the chance to see the most northernmost village in the world.

However, if your main focus is the fjords, then make sure you take in Geirangerfjord and Naeroyfjord first.

Located in south-west Norway to the north-east of Bergen, these fjords are particularly high and steep – their rock walls measure as much as 1,400 metres in height and extend below sea level for about 500m.

It should be easy enough to see both fjords in the same cruise holiday, as they are situated 120km apart.

Some of the sights travellers can take in when visiting these fjords include huge waterfalls, glacial lakes, deciduous and coniferous forests, craggy mountains and a range of native land-based and marine animals.

If you decide to visit Fjord Norway via a cruise, you will find that the experience is unlike other sea voyages as you remain in sight of land for most of the time – giving you a huge opportunity to take in the country’s gorgeous natural landscape whenever you head to the deck.

With a rich Viking past, wonderful food and a superb arts and culture scene, Norway could be the perfect cruise destination for anyone looking for a holiday to remember.
