Tourism in Norway

Already our last country to visit! We end our wonderful trip with Norway.

Norway is famous for its varied landscapes that extend across the Arctic Circle, its fjord-indented coastline, mountains, ski resorts, lakes and woods. Especially the fjord coastline, mountains and waterfall attract many tourists. It’s located in the north of Norway.

I will sum up a couple of cities that are worth visiting:

OSLO

The capital of Norway, situated near by the Fjord coastline. On this coastline you can take ‘Fjord cruise’ or a ‘Fjord tour’. When you are interested, you definitely have to look at this site: http://www.norwaynutshell.com/

Furthermore you can visit the Vigeland Sculpture Park, the Viking Ship Museum, the Munch Museum and Holmenkollen.

Top attratctions in Oslo:
