Visit Western Norway


Western Norway is one of the most beautiful regions in Norway, known for its lush scenery and popular tourist attractions. This region is full of majestic fjords, mountains, glaciers, and coastal islands that make it an idyllic destination for visitors. On the south coast of the region lies Bergen, a vibrant city with an interesting history. A tour of Bryggen Wharf will give you a glimpse into its past as part of the Hanseatic League in 15th century Europe. The Lysefjord is another highlight here; a breathtakingly beautiful area to explore by boat or hike up Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock) for stunning views over this unique landscape. Further north there are many small fishing villages like Alesund which have colorful wooden buildings along waterfronts that tell stories from their past - making them great places to take pictures and learn more about local culture. As for historical facts, this region was home to some famous Norse Vikings who went on raids around Europe during the 8th-11th centuries AD; so if you're looking to step back in time there are plenty of Viking ruins and artifacts left behind!
