Villas in Norway

It is almost a crime to visit Norway without seeing one of its many incredible fjords. You will see how amazing the fjords are from any angle and notice how it dwarfs everything else in the landscape. The Sognefjord in Norway is 4,291 feet (1.31 km) deep and the HardangerFjord widens along the horizon by a whopping 111 miles (178.64 km). In the Lysefjord (Lysefjord) you will find this Preikestolen, a wonder of nature. It is undoubtedly one of the most dramatic viewpoints in the country: 604 metres of vertical drop with scandalous views. To enjoy these views, you have to earn it by taking a two-hour route to go up and about an hour and a half down, depending on the pace of each one.

The GeirangerFjord is another of the most popular fjords in the country and a UNESCO protected area, and you will find numerous sightseeing excursions, hiking, fishing, rafting, and cycling to continue from here. In short, if you like winter landscapes, you will not forget these beautiful Norwegian landscapes where totally snow-covered mountains surround the languages of the sea.

Lillehammer, the pretty little town two hours north of Oslo, hosted the Olympic Games in 1994, and now he's there for the public to show his skills, or lack thereof, in both skiing and snowboarding. Hemsedal, Trysil and Geilo are also excellent winter sports centres. Try your luck in Langrenn, something some Norwegians even practice on roller skates during the summer.

Norway is a European sanctuary for certain species. Moose, bears, wolves and musk oxen are still occasionally seen in Norwegian forests. While reindeer can be found both in the wild and in the Sami herd. Polar bears are reserved for Svalbard. However, diving for king crabs or spotting a white-tailed eagle is feasible on the mainland, as long as you head north.

Whales visit the Norwegian coast every year, and there are numerous whale watching tours that allow you to catch a glimpse of these magnificent creatures. Sperm whales are the most common, and if luck is on your side, you might see pilot, minke, humpback, dolphin, and killer whales. Go to Vesterålen, Tromsø or Narvik for the best chance to spot these impressive animals.

Edvard Munch's painting, The Scream, is probably the most famous painting in Norway and you can find it in the National Gallery in Oslo, as well as the Munch Museum. However, Norway's art scene is much bigger than Munch. A transfer to Vigelandsparken, with over 200 images, is another must-see in Oslo.

Do like the Norwegians and pack an orange, or orange-flavoured soda and a Kvikklunsj, chocolate wafer from Norwegian in a reliable bag then go explore one of Norway's magnificent hiking trails. The most important thing to remember is to put things down as you find them; do not take more than photos. Some of the country's favourite hiking trails and observation points take you through the fjords and include, but are not limited to, Preikestolen, Trolltunga and Fjellstua.

Bergen is Norway's second-largest city and was once the country's capital. Its national and cultural significance can be explored throughout the city, especially on the beautiful Bryggen Pier. Bryggen has been a central part of the city since Viking times, and today comprises a row of houses, colourful, dating from the fourteenth century. Like most of Norway, Bergen is situated right next to wonderful nature. Taking Fløibanen up to Mount Fløyen is one of the city's most iconic attractions, but you should also look at walking the cobbled path called Stoltzekleiven.

Norway is of course also home to another must-see experience above the Arctic Circle: the Northern Lights. The North Cape and Tromsø are perfect places to experience them. Although it can affect the body clock, this phenomenon is exactly that: phenomenal. However, you will find some other places on earth where you will be able to appreciate the midnight sun and the eternal nights with the same comfort as in Norway.
