Lofoten Island

Lofoten Island

4.8/5
13 reviews
Lofoten Island are located within the Arctic Circle and are famous for their steep mountains rising directly from the sea and deep fjords carving the islands' outlines. Traditional fishing villages such as Reine, Hamnøy, and Henningsvaer are scattered along the coast, with red fishermen's cabins built along the water, carrying on the cod fishing tradition that has continued since the Viking Age. In winter, rows of cod drying racks can still be seen along the coast. The E10 highway runs through the archipelago, connecting the fjords and fishing villages, and is the main route for a self-drive tour of the islands. In summer, the islands enjoy the midnight sun, with daylight lasting all night, making it perfect for hiking and photography. Winter marks the window for viewing the northern lights.Norway · Vestvagoy

Sognefjordis one of the longest and deepest fjords in Norway. The 200+ km waterway cuts inland from the coast north of Bergen, reaching the foot of the Jotunheimen and Jostedalsbreen national parks. Glacial meltwater carrying rock flour flows into the fjord, giving some of its branches an emerald green hue. The Nærøyfjord branch is the signature of the entire fjord: at its narrowest point, it is only approx. 250 m wide, with cliffs rising almost vertically from the water, and it has been listed as a World Heritage Site.Sognefjordis over 1,300 m deep in its deeper sections, with mountains on both sides rising from the water. Traveling through it by boat, you see steep cliffs when looking up and deep fjord waters when looking down.Norway · Sogndal

Hardangerfjorden

4.3/5
92 reviews
Hardangerfjorden stretches for nearly 180 km, extending from the Atlantic coast south of Bergen deep into the inland hinterland. Unlike many stark fjords, the climate here is mild, and apple and cherry orchards stretch across the hillsides on both banks. During certain seasons, the blooming flowers on the mountains contrast with the remaining snow on the peaks, creating a unique natural view. The views along the fjord are rich and diverse, featuring not only magnificent cascading waterfalls but also numerous waterscapes where visitors can walk through or view from a distance. The surrounding cantilevered viewing platforms and cross-sea bridges provide visitors with expansive vistas. When driving across the bridges or touring by boat, the magnificent scenery of the mountains and waters intertwined on both banks is fully visible. There are many scenic parking spots and trails along the route. Self-drive tours, boat cruises, or kayaking are all common ways to explore. The rich glacier and mountain resources also provide diverse exploration options for outdoor enthusiasts, bringing an unforgettable fjord nature experience to visitors who have traveled from afar.Norway · Kvam
Flåm
No. 8 of Best Things to Do in Norway

Flåm

6.5
4.8/5
105 reviews
Flåm is a fjord town in western Norway, located at the end of the Aurlandsfjord, a branch of the Sognefjord, and surrounded on three sides by steep mountains. This town, with only a few hundred permanent residents, is a gateway to the fjords: large cruise ships can dock directly at the pier, and railways, cruise boats, and roads converge here. The town's signature attraction is the Flåm Railway. The train departs from the platform by the fjord, climbing about 20 km to the Myrdal station at an altitude of about 865 m,where it connects with the Bergen Railway. The entire line features steep gradients and continuous tunnels, with a short stop at Kjosfossen waterfall, allowing passengers to get off and gaze up at the waterfall cascading from the cliff top. For a different perspective, you can take a cruise boat from the pier into the Naeroyfjorden, flanked by cliffs on both sides, or head to the Stegastein- LOOKOUT, which hangs about 650 m above the Aurlandsfjord, to take in the entire fjord and the town below. There are bicycle rental points in town. You can ride downhill from Myrdal along the old mountain road built by railway workers back to the town, or take a leisurely ride through the valley. If you get tired of exploring, why not try the local specialty, brown goat cheese, at a restaurant? The town is small and can be explored on foot.Norway · Flam
Sommarøy

Sommarøy

5.0/5
1 reviews
Sommarøyis a small fishing island in Northern Norway, located within the Arctic Circle. It sits at the mouth of a fjord west of Tromso, and you can reach the island by driving about 1 hour from downtown Tromso and crossing the bridge. The island is famous for its unique relationship with time: from mid-May to late July, it experiences the polar day, where the sun does not set for over 2 months; from late November to mid-January of the following year, the sun barely rises at all. The island's natural scenery is equally stunning: fine white sand beaches paired with clear, turquoise waters have led many travelers to call it the "Caribbean of the North." Standing on the beach, you can also look out at the sharp Håja island in the sea; it is said that the design of the Arctic Cathedral in Tromso was inspired by it. Summer is perfect for strolling on the beach under the midnight sun or going kayaking; in winter, the low light pollution makes it a great place to view the aurora around Tromso.Norway · Sommaroy
Bryggen
No. 5 of Night Attractions in Norway

Bryggen

6.1
4.4/5
162 reviews
Bryggen means wharf in Norwegian and is also often called the German Wharf. It is located on the eastern shore of Vågen in the center of Bergen. Rows of colorful, gabled wooden houses line the harbor, reflecting on the water. The story of this wharf area began in the Middle Ages: the Hanseatic League established a trading post here, and merchants from northern Germany used it as a base to distribute stockfish shipped from northern Norway throughout Europe. The rows of wooden houses were originally warehouses for storing stockfish and grain. The houses have been destroyed by fire many times, and the current complex was largely rebuilt after a major fire in the early 18th century, maintaining the layout of the medieval trading post. When visiting, do not just stay on the harbor-facing front; the narrow alleys behind the wooden houses are more atmospheric. Hidden among the dim passageways are craft workshops, small shops, cafes, and restaurants, which feel more historic than the street-facing facade. Head to the opposite side of Vågen to look back for a full view of the wooden houses. To learn more about this commercial history, you can visit theHanseatic Museumor Bryggens Museum.Norway · Bergen

Geiranger Fjord

6.1
4.7/5
62 reviews
Geiranger FjordLocated in western Norway, it is a branch extending from the main fjord into the mountains, with a total length of approx. 15 km. The fjord was formed by Quaternary glacial erosion, with steep cliffs on both sides rising up to 1,400 m from sea level. Mountain peaks are generally over 1,500 m high, while the water depth extends to 500 m, creating a distinct vertical drop. The cliffs on both sides rise almost vertically from the water, with abandoned mountain farms hanging halfway up the cliff faces. The fjord water glows with a blue-green hue due to glacial meltwater. The landscapes of the kingdom in the animated film *Frozen* were inspired by the fjord scenery in this area, making it a highly recognizable destination among Norway's fjord landscapes.Norway · Stranda Municipality

Surrounded by mountains on three sides, Bergen is known as the "Seven Mountains". If you want to appreciate the whole picture of this small harbor town, you might as well take the funicular cable car all the way up to the top of Mount Floen, overlooking the beauty of Bergen. The cable car (FloibanenFunicular) runs in both directions, and the vehicles are divided into blue and red. They are affectionately called red hats and blue men. They all have panoramic glass roofs. Miss any views. On the top of the mountain with an elevation of 320 meters, there is an interesting viewing stairs. You can sit on the stairs, basking in the sun, and looking at the blue sea and blue sky in the distance. The red-roofed houses in Bergen are like a beautiful picture against the blue sky. oil painting, comfortable and comfortable. Want to get close to nature? Hike among the Norwegian forests? Follow the path near the top station of the ropeway towards the woods, and the walking signs will clearly indicate several popular hiking routes for you. In addition, just a few minutes' walk from the station is the tranquil and quiet shoemaker's lake, the road is paved with small stones, and there are bonfire kangs, barbecue stoves, benches and tables on the side of the road, do you think of something? what? It seems that barbecue by the lake is an inescapable beauty.Norway · Bergen

Tickets were issued quickly. I booked them while queuing at the cable car station and managed to get them just in time before entering the gate. They were much cheaper than buying them on-site – great! The blue hour view from the mountain, the city night view, and the Northern Lights were absolutely stunning!

The Lofoten Islands, located in northern Norway, straddling the Arctic Circle, offer breathtaking natural scenery and unique fishing villages. With its steep peaks, deep fjords, charming white-sand beaches, and vibrantly colored wooden fishing villages, it's been dubbed "Norway's most beautiful archipelago" and "the floating Alps." The Lofoten Islands comprise a series of islands, including Oostvåg, Vestvåg, Flakstad, and Moskenesøya. Winter is an excellent time to view the aurora borealis, while summer offers the spectacle of the midnight sun. The fishing villages of the Lofoten Islands retain their traditional red, yellow, and white wooden houses, a hallmark of the region. Driving: The best way to explore the Lofoten Islands is by car along the E10 Highway. Hiking: The archipelago's peaks are a hiking enthusiast's paradise, offering stunning views of the fjords and coast. Wandering: Stroll through the colorful fishing villages and immerse yourself in the unique local culture.

The Sognefjord, located in southwestern Norway, is the world's narrowest and deepest fjord, stretching 204 kilometers and reaching a maximum depth of 1,308 meters. Its banks are lined with peaks, the highest reaching over 2,400 meters above sea level. It has been designated a World Heritage Site. Because of its fame and touted by travel agencies as a unique landform not found in China, a visit to the fjord has become a must-see destination on any Nordic trip. Besides the mountains, the fjord is also most famous for its three major rock formations: Pulpit Rock, Kronstadt, and Devil's Tongue. However, we were ordinary people with no outdoor adventure experience, little interest in hiking, and no climbing skills. We also didn't have the necessary hiking shoes or gear. Therefore, when we visited the fjord, we had no plans to hike to the three major rock formations, as many outdoor enthusiasts do. We simply drove around the fjord and took a boat ride to admire the scenery. That was all. To be honest, while the fjord's landforms are said to be unique to China, in reality, from the outside, they resemble those of China's Three Gorges. Both are flanked by steep, rocky mountains, while deep canyons offer a serene expanse of clear water. The only difference is that the water in the Three Gorges is freshwater from the Yangtze River, while the water in the fjord is seawater. The Sognefjord is flanked by steep, rocky mountains, with vegetation varying from dense to sparse. The coastal highway often winds through long caves, often nestled within caves, offering only occasional glimpses of the fjord. Some caves stretch for tens or even twenty kilometers. Sitting in a car, staring out at the pitch-black caves, driving through them can be quite claustrophobic for those with claustrophobia. After much difficulty, we emerged from the caves, occasionally discovering small, flat plains amidst the mountains, dotted with verdant grass and dotted with villages and towns. The autumn trees are a vibrant hue of yellow-green, gold-red, and red. The autumn spirit is in full swing. In late autumn, the fjord experiences occasional light rains, sometimes heavy downpours. Even when we happened to stop at a small rest stop, the town was still drenched in drizzle, making it so wet and damp that it lost interest in exploring. Even the fjord's famous photo-op town was small, with little to see besides a few small outdoor gear shops, a small supermarket, and a cafe. Looking out at the peaks in all directions, I could see springs and waterfalls cascading from the fjord's cliffs, lush vegetation, and a vast expanse of water. But the surroundings were shrouded in a drizzle, making them difficult to see clearly. The entire five or six hours to the fjord were spent in the car. The scenery from the car window was indeed beautiful, but without being able to fully appreciate the scenery, I felt less interested. Perhaps we went at the wrong time; in late September and early October, the entire fjord was covered in rain. The wind was strong, and the drizzle alternated between light and heavy rain, making it impossible to hold an umbrella. Therefore, a jacket, rain pants, and hiking boots were essential for the trip. Looking at all kinds of scenery in the rain, they all looked gray and misty. Even though I looked at them and felt them, there was nothing amazing about them.

There is the famous Atlantic Ocean Coast Highway here. It is 8.3 kilometers long and was opened to traffic in 1989. It consists of 8 bridges, spanning between small islands and reefs. You can enjoy the natural landscape of each small island along the way. When I visited in early June last year, the road was closed due to the filming of the latest 007 movie. I missed the most magnificent section of the highway and could only take a walk and take photos nearby!

Winding clear and abundant streams, lush forests, white waterfalls hanging high, fresh grass, red houses scattered in between, and characteristic wooden churches, this is a small town called Flem. In September 2013, I traveled to Northern Europe by train from Oslo to Myrdal, and then took a 1-hour scenic train to arrive. Finally, I stayed for 2 nights. It rained that day, and white fog filled the mountainside, like a holy wonderland. The next day, the sun was shining brightly. I rented a car and rode on the road of the green mountains and countryside. There was a train passing through the forest. Except for the birdsong and the gurgling stream, no other sound could be heard. There are apple orchards in front of the beautiful villas of every household. There are 10 routes for cycling and hiking. It is a must-visit stop for the epitome of Norway.

I've just visited this incredible place during the polar night, and even been with a light light, it was an amazing visit. The small beaches invite you to eat something sitting on the sand while watching the Norwegian Sea.At the village you can find a small supermarket and an electric car charging station.

Geirangerfjord is located in the north of Bergen on the southwest coast of Norway. It is the most beautiful and mysterious of the Norwegian fjords. The fjord is 16 kilometers long, with mountains over 1,500 meters above sea level on both sides. Geirangerfjord is famous for its many waterfalls, many of which flow into the fjord along the steep rock walls, such as "Bridal Veil" and "Seven Sisters". At the top of the fjord is the village of Geiranger, which is only accessible by a 1,000-meter-long road that winds down the hillside. Many tourists come here on foot in summer for vacation.
