Norway Fjord Tours
Bergen Fjord Tours
Bergen is the best place to start
fjord tours in Norway. You can enjoy
dozens of fjord tours in this beautiful city that has a magnificent city square
with shopping area and a lot of eatery around it. It is advisable to travel by
boat because the the contrasts between the fjords and mountains are greatest at
water level and the boats are comfortable and stable. You do not have to be
worried about seasickness. It rarely happens.

along the way. You will have a four-hour

Central Fjord Country
This fjord-riddled coast, from
Bergen to Kristiansund, is stippled with islands and grooved with deep barren
valleys, wth most of the fertile land edging the water. Ther farther north one
travels, the more rugged and wild the landscape. The motionless Sognefjord is
the longest inlet which is 190 kilometers long. It is 4,000 feet deep. Some of
its sections are so narrow, with rock walls looming on either side, that they
look as if they have been sliced from the mountains.
At the top of Sogn og Fjordane
county are a succession of Fjords referred to as Nordfjord, with
Jostedalsbreen, mainland Europe’s largest glacier, to the south. Sunnfjord is
the coastal area between Nordfjord and Sognefjord, with Florø, the county seat,
on an island close to Norway’s westernmost point.
The Mountains of Møre og Romsdal
The Mountains of Møre og Romsdal
are treeless moonscapes of gray rock, stone cliffs that hang out over the water
far below. Geriangerfjord is the most spectacular fjord, with a road zigzagging
all the way down from the mountaintops to the water beside a famous waterfall.
Tourists have been visiting
central fjord country since the English discovered the area some 150 years ago
in the their search for the ultimate salmon. One of these tourist was Kaiser
Wilhelm who helped rebuild Ålesund into one of the most fantastic fits of
architectural invention in Scandinavia.

Tips related to food in Norway:
Are you special with food? Do you like only some things? If you are of this type of people, you should know that in Norway the food is not very good. Almost everything is based on fish (salmon, oysters, etc). If you do not like fish, I recommend you ask at the restaurants or hotels you go to if you can change it for meat or something else. First you always put some pures of vegetables that, to my taste, are pretty bad. There are meat dumplings that serve you that are really bad! They know a kind of mixtures of frozen meats with leek sauce. Still, the meat is a sweet sauce that is very good. Therefore, as advice, is that you take some snack or bun from Spain to avoid hunger!!
