Each fjord has its own character and attractions. Geirangerfjorden has the tallest and most scenic waterfalls. Sognefjorden is the world’s longest fjord and Hardangerfjorden is mostly known for its surroundings, delicate flowering of fruit orchards in the springtime. Lysefjorden is known for its Pulpit Rock, where tourists can take in a breathtaking view when you venture out to the edge.
The cities of the west coast of Norway were founded on the wealth of the sea. Kristiansund had clip fish, Alesund was the herring town and is also known for its Jugend architecture. Molde is the city of roses and jazz.
The cozy and enchanting city of Bergen is a perfect place to start when exploring the fjords. Bergen has a lot to offer before you leave for the fjords, especially The Wharf, The Fish Market and Mount Flojen.
Further south on the west coat, the landscape opens up with calming green fields and long white beaches. The oil capital of Norway, Stavanger, boasts the largest area of old wooden houses in all of Europe.
