Former villa of the famous composer with a museum containing concert spaces & his personal effects.

Historic royal castle with a surrounding park, popular for outdoor sports, swimming & sledding.

👍👍 Very cool place if you are into ww2 history. There are multiple guided tours into the tunnels on Sunday after 11am. Any other day, you have limited access into the main turret and some rooms. Sunday 100 NOK per person, any other day 60 NOK. There is a parking next to the main road but then you have...

👍👍 Fantastic location for a Fort, must see if you are a WW2 history buff. Make sure you come sometime between May and September as the landscape looks even better.

👍👍 Amazing! Bergen city made from ginger cookie's at Christmas time.

👍👍 This museum is a true treasue. It's a beautiful, clean space with a free entry for everybody, inviting tourists to step in and explore the history surrounding the creation of the railway, which remains a the main attraction in the area of Flam. It not only delves into the railway's history but also...

👍👍 We originally turned up to the museum on a Saturday and it was closed Luckily our road trip brought up back past on a day it was open and I’m so glad we returned.

👍👍 A really beautiful museum with a especially nice and helpful staff. Can't wait to come back with some more time to see all its little houses!

👍👍 We booked the 2,5h Glacier View Point Tour with Märtha that also included a little boat cruise with Sigrid and we absolutely enjoyed it! Märtha did a great job in explaining us the history of the glacier and the whole valley around. She showed us amazing details on the way that we wouldn’t even have...

Excavated city artifacts exhibited in a small, contemporary building with a gift shop & cafe.

👍👍 The scenery here is magnificent - lush and lots of greens on a landscaped hillside overlooking a large freshwater lake. Astruptunet includes a tour of some of the old farm buildings (for a fee). There is a small cafe on site, along with WC facilities. Easy to find; worth about a 90 minute stop.

👍👍 We've been on Herdla several times, and there is still so much to discover. The museum is small and cosy. The German plane fro WW2 and some German army instruments are the biggest and the most attractive exponates. The museum has a little cafe with good choice of cakes, coffees and easy dishes. Ther...

Preserved 18th-century hospital complex exploring Norway's leprosy history & research contributions.

🫤 1 Star for the beautiful view of the surrounding landscape. But: Unfortunately you need to pay 100 NOK (10 euros) to get access to the area. (Includes at least a "free" coffee. Yay.) My suggestion: Free access to the area and adjusted prices.
