You may never have considered traveling to Norway , but the truth is that this country has a lot to offer you: excursions in reindeer or dog sledding under the Northern Lights, skiing in excellent conditions, a lively cultural life in the cities, beautiful fjords and glaciers, legends about goblins and trolls …
Oslo is one of the most visited places in this Nordic country, but the truth is that from the capital it is possible to discover places, cities and towns that seem taken from stories. Today at Vuela Viajes we want to know a little more about Norway, so we are going to take a tour of its most beautiful towns . Of course, we have to apologize in advance for all we have left in the pipeline. Would you like to join us? We assure you that you will not regret it!
Reine
First of all, we want to talk about Reine, the administrative center of the municipality of Moskenes. It is a beautiful fishing village located above the Arctic Circle that only has just over 300 inhabitants. Its mountain environment, its beautiful and colorful houses and boats make this place one of the most beautiful places in Norway.
Undredal
Another Norwegian town worth visiting is Undredal, which offers spectacular views of the wild nature. The town stands out for its goat cheeses (the number of goats five times that of the inhabitants) and the small wooden church, which is famous throughout the country, in addition to its colorful wooden houses.
Alesund
Alesund could not be missing from the list, a municipality that stands out for its Art Noveau architecture, present in much of the territory. Although many consider this place as a city, the truth is that it maintains that rural touch that we like so much, with the mountains and the sea as protagonists.
Geiranger
Another town that we could not forget is Geiranger, a small tourist town located in the western part of the country that closes one of the most beautiful and spectacular fjords in Norway. We are referring to the Geiranger Fjord. Many cruise ships arrive here every year, as it is the gateway for all visitors who want to enjoy this wonderful place.
Longyearbyen
We also want to tell you about Longyearbyen, the largest settlement in the archipelago of the Svalbard Islands, which are located in the Glacial Arctic Ocean. This colorful town has become a very modern place, being able to find different types of industries and businesses, highlighting its wide range of cultural activities: concerts, festivals, exhibitions, shows …
Skudeneshavn
For its part, Skudeneshavn is considered one of the smallest cities in Norway. And not only that! It is also considered one of the best preserved cities in Europe. They stand out, how could it be otherwise, their beautiful wooden houses.
Flam
Of course, we also have to talk about Flam, a town belonging to the municipality of Aurland, which is located at the end of the Aurlandsfjord . The town is located between steep ravines, in a beautiful forest area where you can also find waterfalls in height. One of the peculiarities of this place is that it can be reached on one of the most beautiful trains on the planet.
Nusfjord
Finally, knowing that we are leaving many beautiful towns in the pipeline, we want to talk about Nusfjord, a place that we could hardly define as an urban nucleus, since it is only possible to find a small row of colorful houses that are located parallel to the coast. It is a one hundred percent fishing village located in the Lofoten Islands that is known for its fish cod.
