Sognefjord Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Souls of the Fjord~Sognefjord.
Norway, a land stretching long from north to south in Scandinavia, has half of its terrain consisting of fjords, with a coastline that is mostly jagged, hence Norway is also known as the 'Country of Fjords'.
Sognefjord (Sognefjorden), the world's second longest and Norway's longest fjord, has many branches, with the deepest inland branch being Lustrafjorden, and the southern branch – Nærøyfjord, both of which are listed as World Heritage Sites.
Spanning more than two-thirds the length of Taiwan, the entire Sognefjord is dotted with many seaside towns nestled between the mountains, becoming even more beautiful due to their location in the deep, long fjords and against the backdrop of majestic peaks.
We boarded the ferry in the small town at the deepest part of Nærøyfjord in Gudvangen, which is the starting and ending point of the fjord ferry. Notable attractions include the Viking Village, and the surrounding scenery of Gudvangen is stunning, boasting the most magnificent fjord views. The journey is breathtakingly beautiful, with nature's craftsmanship on full display, leaving one in awe. Passing through some towns, the houses are scattered in the valleys, creating a tranquil fjord and a picturesque scene full of poetry that is captivating.
Visiting the fjord relies on luck, as the weather is unpredictable, so good weather gives us the opportunity to appreciate the beautiful scenery. Therefore, being able to see such endlessly vast and beautiful vistas of the fjord is truly enchanting and exhilarating!

【Painting Norway】Exploring the Sognefjord
On the picturesque west coast of Norway, there is a fairyland listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List - the Sognefjord.
This magnificent and verdant fjord landscape is a masterpiece of nature and a spiritual habitat for every traveler longing for pure travel.
Starting from the bustling capital Oslo, a journey that combines natural exploration, cultural experience, and taste enjoyment is waiting for you.
【Transportation Guide】
To embark on this adventure, you can choose a variety of convenient transportation methods.
Take the picturesque Bergen Railway, depart from Oslo, cross the pastoral mountains in the middle of Norway, arrive at Lærdal in about 5 hours, and then transfer to the famous Flåm Railway to go deep into the fjord.
In addition, self-driving enthusiasts can also drive along the winding roads, enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way to the destination.
There are also daily bus services between Oslo and the fjord area, providing more flexibility for the itinerary.
【Accommodation Recommendation】
Around the Sognefjord, there are many different styles of accommodation facilities to meet different budget and taste needs.
From the luxurious and comfortable fjord view hotel, the price per night is about 2000-3000 Norwegian kroner (about RMB 1600-2400), to the economical and local characteristic guest houses or campsites, the price is usually 800-1500 Norwegian kroner (about 650-1200 yuan).
Some hotels even have restaurants, allowing tourists to enjoy food while enjoying the panoramic view of the fjord.
【Food Experience】
Norwegian seafood is undoubtedly a highlight of this trip. In the Sognefjord area, try the freshly caught salmon and the delicate Norwegian shrimp. The average consumption of an authentic seafood meal is about 500-700 Norwegian kroner (about 400-550 yuan).
At the same time, don't forget to try the local specialty dishes of grilled meat and cloud berry desserts, which will lead you to appreciate the unique charm of Norwegian food culture.
【Play Guide】
One of the best ways to visit the Sognefjord is to take a cruise, leisurely travel between the blue waters, and feel the steepness of the cliffs and the beauty of the waterfalls up close.
The cruise ticket price is generally around 500 Norwegian kroner (about 400 yuan).
In addition, hiking enthusiasts can choose to hike along the trails around the fjord, immerse themselves in the original ecology of nature for free.
If time permits, you can also arrange to visit the nearby Flåmsdalen Valley, or challenge to climb the peak over a kilometer above sea level, overlooking the entire fjord.
The journey from Oslo to the Sognefjord is a feast for the eyes and the soul.
On this quiet and majestic land, you may encounter surprises at every turn, and every stop will gain touch. Bring curiosity about the unknown and the pursuit of beauty, and let the Sognefjord in Norway become a colorful chapter in your life journey.

Norway 🇳🇴 || Three amazing stones + the most beautiful train journey
Norway's three peculiar stones: Pulpit Rock, Miracle Stone, and Devil's Tongue. Pulpit Rock is the most famous and one of the landmarks of Norway's fjords. It is also the most popular hiking destination among the three stones and relatively easy to reach. Pulpit Rock is located in Lysefjord, 604 meters above sea level, and is actually a rock cliff suspended high above the fjord.

North Cape Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
All the way to the north, North Cape, the northernmost tip of Europe, is probably the northernmost point I can reach in my life.
Summer, here is the famous midnight sun, where the sun shines all night. In winter, there is no daytime, but the green or red aurora can definitely compensate you for the desire for light.
The longest place in the northern part of the trip is the Honningsvag, a small town located at 71° north latitude, the last stop of the North End of the World (Nordkapp). That is to say, this is the northernmost town on the European continent. The cruise ship was moored with heavy snow, and the colorful houses welcomed us quietly in the heavy snow.
The snow-capped Arctic town has a wonderful sense of fairy tales. Standing in front of the shops near the pier, Norway's iconic little monsters are strange and funny in the snow. After
, it didn't take long for the snow to get bigger and bigger, and the entire Arctic town became psychedelic, but this is a good time to shoot portraits in the snow.
There is only one main road in the town, the small and small shops open the door, and they can only use the Norwegian currency and cannot use the Euro, which makes us have no way to shop. There are very few pedestrians on the road. Everyone is walking cautiously in the snow. Everything is very pure after being covered with heavy snow, and it has a lot of fun.
In the snowy snow, I can always find a variety of different colors. I always think that the colors of the Nordic towns are always richer than other regions. Maybe they want to see more colors in the white snow. Better mood. The cruise ship stopped at Honningsvag for two and a half hours, enough for me to walk the coastline and small streets here, and the snow flew to add more fun.

Fjord Cruises Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Norway is a country that is very suitable for train travel. The roads are beautiful lakes and forests. You can even walk straight through the magnificent snow-capped mountains in summer. The Norwegian National Railways (NSB) deliberately designed a travel product called "Norway in a nutshell", which mainly uses Oslo and Bergen as the starting point and has a number of travel routes.
One of the cities we transited here is only 2000+ people. The per capita living area is very large and there is a sense of happiness in living. The core of the
Norwegian miniature is the Thon Fjord in the middle, and the Naroyfjord is listed as a World Heritage Site. Visitors can purchase tickets for the Norwegian Miniature on the Internet and major train stations, and enjoy a variety of fjord sightseeing experiences by changing to different modes of transportation.
