What to do in Norway
The capital Oslo, rated Europe's Green Capital in 2019, is known for its vibrant nightlife, art galleries, top-notch public transport and excellent museums such as the Viking Ship Museum, the Kon-Tiki Museum and the Fram Museum. In addition, the green capital offers its visitors the Vingeland park, where you can spend a pleasant afternoon admiring beautiful sculptures or, who knows, enjoying a delicious picnic.
The city of Bergen, on the other hand, is famous for its beauty and rainy climate – considered the rainiest in Europe. There are magnificent fjords such as Sogn and Hardanger, cultural attractions, parks and the charming Bryggen district, a series of colorful wooden houses facing the harbor.
There are other tourist destinations, such as the Cod capital in Alesund, or the iconic landscape of Trolltunga, and even the beautiful Aurora Borealis seen from the city of Tromso.
