1. Geirangerfjord: Norway\u2019s Famous Fjord<\/h2>\n
Geirangerfjord is one of Norway’s UNESCO-recognised fjords<\/a>, and for good reason. It\u2019s a staggering place to visit, with dramatic cliffs that rise almost vertically from the water, crashing waterfalls and deep blue waters with the snowy mountain peaks in the background.<\/p>\n Three waterfalls at Geirangerfjord are the most famous, each with a unique name: The Seven Sisters, The Suitor, and The Bridal Veil.<\/p>\n Located close to the Art Nouveau city of \u00c5lesund in the north, Geirangerfjord village hosts fjord cruise operators and sightseeing boats. Alternatively, you can hike around the fjord or join a scenic guided driving tour, ideal if you\u2019d like the chance to capture some spectacular photographs.<\/p>\n Often described as the classic picture-perfect Norwegian experience, Geirangerfjord is great for summer tours, snowy scenery in winter, and a quieter atmosphere in spring and autumn, with plenty of hotels and spas in the surrounding area.<\/p>\n The King of the Fjords earned its title as Norway\u2019s longest and deepest fjord, which is over 1,300 metres at its deepest and stretches over 120 miles. This also means there are diverse landscapes and experiences to explore, with small, charming villages dotted around the fjord and its numerous branches.<\/p>\n Visitors might stay in Solvorn, L\u00e6rdal, or Balestrand, among other options, and visit local glaciers, Viking heritage sites, and traditional farms, or spend their time hiking, kayaking, and biking, or join a day cruise on the water.<\/p>\n There is a huge amount to see and do during a visit to Sognefjord, making it a great option for families, active visitors, and those touring Norway. Many start in Bergen as the gateway to the fjords, with Sognefjord just north of the city.<\/p>\n Guests can also add the Fl\u00e5m Railway to their trip, travelling from Bergen through Myrdal before riding the steep, historic line that drops into Fl\u00e5m, right next to one of the Sognefjord arms.<\/p>\n N\u00e6r\u00f8yfjord is a branch of Sognefjord, and anyone travelling to the fjords is well advised to see both. The fjord stretches between Aurlandsfjord and Gudvangen and is just 500 metres wide in some spots, making it one of Europe\u2019s narrowest.<\/p>\n Another UNESCO site, you\u2019ll be able to discover:<\/p>\n While all Norwegian fjords<\/a> are beautiful, N\u00e6r\u00f8yfjord is often one of the most recommended destinations for romantic breaks, outdoor getaways, and keen photographers because of its narrowness and the sheer scale of the surrounding scenery.<\/p>\n Our next recommendation is Norway\u2019s second-longest fjord, which travels inland from the Atlantic right to the country\u2019s centre. Nationally, the Hardangerfjord is best known for its spring blossoms, as the centre of the Norwegian fruit and cider industry.<\/p>\n The orchards come to life throughout the spring, but there is much more to see. You\u2019ll be able to walk the Hardanger Bridge, a suspension bridge that traverses the Eidfjorden branch, visit V\u00f8ringsfossen, one of Norway\u2019s most famous waterfalls, which falls from the Hardangervidda plateau 180 metres into the M\u00e5b\u00f8dalen valley, or venture through Folgefonna National Park, which protects the third-largest ice cap in Norway.<\/p>\n Adventurers often plan to hike the Trolltunga trails, kayak along the water, or cycle to see the natural beauty of Hardangerfjord up close.<\/p>\n2.
