Norway Tourist Attractions

So instead of sightseeing, people on a Norway holiday usually do nature tripping, hiking and sports activities in Norway. Norway is named the best country to stay in the world by United Nations.

You can also enjoy the spectacular view of Norway's wildness by traveling on two of the world's most popular rails, the Flam Railway and Bergen Railway. The Bergen train is the main line commuting Osla with Bergen and travels across the Hardangervidda highland plateau and National Park. The most popular Norway fjords are the Geirangerfjord and Naeroyfjord, and both are listed in the Unesco's World Heritage Site. Among the many tourist attractions in Norway, their parks in Oslo stand out, with its rich history and lush greeneries. With 80 acres of land, the park is the largest in the city. All the sculptures were created by famous Norwegian artist and sculptor Gustav Vigeland, hence the name of the park.

Vigeland Park is divided into several different parts. The next section is the Bridge, which houses 58 of the sculptures in the park. The bridge is about 100 meters long, connecting the park entrance to the Fountain. The Monolith Plateau is the next section in the Vigeland Park.
