Geiranger Fjord
The Geiranger Fjord is a fjord in the Sunnmore region of Norway and the small village of Geiranger is located right at the end of the fjord.
It is a very popular tourist sight, boasting breathtaking scenery with gigantic cliffs, sparkling waterfalls, and dazzling blue waters. As part of the sprawling Storfjorden system, it stretches over 15 kilometers, with steep mountains and jagged peaks lying to its sides. Due to its awe-inspiring beauty, many cruise ships and sightseeing tours pass through the fjord. While gazing at the scenery from aboard the deck is a fantastic experience, it is well worth hiking up some of the prominent peaks and plateaus – such as Dalsnibba and Ornesvingen – for the incredible views.
Bergen
Bergen is a city and municipality in Vestland county on the west coast of Norway. It was once part of the Hanseatic League, thus serving as an important trading hub and seaport. Today, it is Norway’s second-largest city.
Bergen is surrounded by the spectacular Seven Mountains, with several fjords and forests complementing it. The best place to explore the city’s history and heritage is at the beautifully preserved Bryggen, which lies on the eastern side of Vagen harbor. You’ll find colorfully painted wooden merchants’ homes and warehouses, as well as a couple of great museums, restaurants, and bars, with exciting nightlife scenes. In addition to its famous, photogenic waterfront, the city has an interesting fortress, the Bergenhus Fortress, and some marvelous medieval churches.
