TOP excursion destinations in Norway
Norway’s capital Oslo promises a special mix of tradition, culture and modernity. In Gamlebyen you can stroll through the oldest part of the city, in the harbour district Aker Brygge the promenade pulsates with pure life and from the roof of the futuristic opera house you can enjoy unique sunsets.
The Royal Palace in Oslo is still used as a residence by the Norwegian royal family. It was built in the classicist style and has 173 rooms. During the summer months, the castle can be visited on a guided tour.
Off to Bergen! In the historic Hanseatic district of Bryggen, you will find colorful wooden houses, typical local specialties at the fish market and Bergenhus Festning, one of the oldest fortifications in Norway.
When Ålesund burned down completely in 1904, a town emerged from the ashes, built entirely in Art Nouveau style. The buildings are richly decorated with towers and ornaments to this day.
Tromsø lies 344 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle. Polar Museum, Ice Sea Cathedral and Polaria Museum are the attractions here. From the top station of the cable car there is a magnificent view over the entire city. The auroras are especially good to see here.
If you travel the 20-kilometre stretch through the Geirangerfjord by ship, you will experience one of the most impressive ship passages in the world. Constant companions: steep cliffs, thundering waterfalls and emerald green water.
What could be more fascinating than watching the aurora borealis in the sky during the dark nights of the winter months? Especially north of the Arctic Circle the chances are good to enjoy this fascinating natural phenomenon.
If you are brave enough to venture to the Preikestolen “The Pulpit”, you should be absolutely free from giddiness.
The plateau cliff is 25 by 25 meters in size, drops 604 meters vertically into the depths and offers breathtaking views of the Lysefjord.
Norway’s most popular national park is called Jotunheimen. If you believe Norwegian mythology, real giants once lived here. A beautiful performance with all the huge mountains, glaciers, lakes and waterfalls. Norway’s highest mountains are found here.
On Spitsbergen, visitors experience arctic wilderness. The archipelago lies halfway between the Norwegian mainland and the North Pole.
Dog sleds, ice caves, the midnight sun and the northern lights provide unique experiences here. Polar bears, reindeer and arctic foxes for unforgettable game viewing.
