An Interesting Norway Holiday

When you travel do you coop yourself in the hotel and wait for things to happen? Yes?! Personally, I never thought of staying in my hotel room during a trip as a good way to spend my holiday. If that’s what you are planning to do then you should have just grabbed the inflatable pool, set it up in your backyard and do the relaxing and unwinding there. Part of traveling is finding interesting places, finding adventure and enjoying the short time you have away from your stressful job. Finding an interesting Norway holiday is pretty easy. Norway is a great place to spend your vacation. There are a lot to see and a lot to experience.

Norway is a pretty good travel destination as compared to other countries. If you want snow capped mountains, picturesque lakes and forests, then Norway has a lot of those to show. The good thing about Norway is that since it is already an established tourist destination, the routes are also well established and a number of packages are being offered to travelers. Any concerns they have are addressed by scattered tourist help centers.

Since Norway has a lot to offer, let’s being with some of the more popular interesting places in the country. By now you should have figured out that Norway has a lot of unspoiled natural beauty. Among the top destinations are the Geirangerfjord and Lofoten.

Geirangerfjord is famous for, well its fjords. Fjords are long, narrow inlets that were created by glaciers. Norway’s fjords are pretty famous for their majestic views and natural wonders. You can get to see a number of waterfalls as famous as the fjords themselves like the Seven Sisters, the Bridal Veil, and the Suitor. Geirarangerfjord has been included in UNESCO’s list of World Heritage sites in recognition to its natural beauty and the importance of preserving the area for future generations to see.

Lofoten , on the other hand, is filled with a number of outdoor activities where tourists adults and children alike can enjoy. There’s the Lofotr Viking Museum which has a good collection of various relics from the Viking Age, which is another thing Norway is famous for. Lofoten also hosts the World Championship in Cod Fishing and other sports activities like hiking, biking and even golf.

Similarly, Lillehammer hosts a number of cultural, educational and outdoor activities for tourists including skiing. The place is less than 200 km from Oslo and is visited by millions of tourists every year. You might fee crowded but you can stay here a day or two just to see what the fuss is all about. It has the largest lake in Norway, lake Mjosa.

Aside from these places, you have a ton of other interesting things that you can do in Norway. Hiking for one is a personal favorite. You can enjoy the sceneries on your own pleasure and Norway’s great outdoor is way too different than what I’ve experienced before. Another personal favorite is biking. With the country’s natural wonders every kilometer you travel is worth it. Plus, most of the public transportations like cruise ships, ferries and even planes allow you to bring your bike on board.
