Things to do in Norway

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.

had a great time here with friends! we took the floibanen and it was amazing

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.

Beautiful place characterized by colorful wooden houses along the harbor. A great place to explore.

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.

The Fløyen Cableway, connecting Bergen's city center to Mount Fløyen, is a popular tourist attraction. It officially opened on January 15, 1918. Each of its two cable cars, the blue Blåmann and the red Rødhette, can accommodate approximately 80 people. The cableway is 850 meters long, with a 300-meter difference in elevation between the summit and the base, and the tracks are spaced only one meter apart. This is the cable car station in Bergen's city center.
