N\u00e6r\u00f8yfjord and the boat cruise<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Of all the arms of the enormous Sognefjord, N\u00e6r\u00f8yfjord is the most dramatic and visually stunning. It has rightly earned a <strong>spot on the prestigious UNESCO World Heritage list<\/strong> and proudly holds the title of the narrowest fjord in all of Europe. In some places its banks close in to a <strong>mere 250 metres<\/strong> apart, which is hugely impressive from the deck of a boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steep rock walls <strong>rise as high as 1,400 metres<\/strong> above the water&#8217;s surface. Wild waterfalls tumble down these sheer cliffs into the valley, and you&#8217;ll often spot patches of snow on the peaks even in the middle of a hot summer. The fjord&#8217;s water is frequently completely still and <strong>acts as a perfect mirror<\/strong> for the majestic mountains all around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The absolute classic is the <strong>Sognefjord cruise between Gudvangen and Fl\u00e5m<\/strong>, which takes around two hours and shows you the best of the entire strait. Tickets for this route usually cost about <strong>400 to 500 NOK<\/strong> (roughly 35 to 43 \u20ac) depending on the type of boat and the season. I&#8217;d definitely recommend staying outside on deck the whole time, so you don&#8217;t miss a single view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\ud83d\udca1 Tip:<\/strong> Cruise boats fill up quickly in the summer months, so it&#8217;s best to buy your tickets in advance through <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"GetYourGuide\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/doporucujeme\/getyourguide\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">GetYourGuide<\/a> or the official Norwegian portals.

You&#8217;re standing a <strong>full 650 metres above the fjord<\/strong>, and thanks to the glass railing at the end of the platform, you feel like you&#8217;re floating in mid-air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This viewpoint is part of the renowned <strong>Aurlandsvegen Snow Road<\/strong>, which links Aurland and L\u00e6rdal over a high mountain pass. Driving this road is an experience in itself, as you&#8217;ll see <strong>huge walls of snow<\/strong> lining the tarmac even at the start of the summer holidays.

Giant cruise ships moor in the harbour and a constant stream of buses arrives full of eager travellers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main draw here is without a doubt the famous Fl\u00e5m Railway, or Fl\u00e5msbana. This historic line connects the mountain station of Myrdal with the village of Fl\u00e5m at sea level and <strong>ranks among the steepest standard-gauge railways<\/strong> in the world. Over a short twenty-kilometre route, the train <strong>climbs an altitude difference of nearly nine hundred metres<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the slow journey through the valley you&#8217;ll admire deep ravines, old farms and above all the <strong>mighty Kjosfossen waterfall<\/strong>, where the train makes a special photo stop. It&#8217;s such a rich and beautiful experience that it deserves far more space to explain. You&#8217;ll find detailed information and tips in our separate article on the <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/?p=260150\">Fl\u00e5m Railway<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a3e2603c5da8&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a3e2603c5da8\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1201\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-sognefjord-naeroyfjord-09.jpg\" alt=\"The Njardarheimr Viking Village\" class=\"wp-image-259892\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-sognefjord-naeroyfjord-09.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-sognefjord-naeroyfjord-09-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-sognefjord-naeroyfjord-09-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-sognefjord-naeroyfjord-09-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-sognefjord-naeroyfjord-09-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-sognefjord-naeroyfjord-09-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-sognefjord-naeroyfjord-09-1392x929.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Pavel Danilyuk \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_The_Njardarheimr_Viking_Village_in_Gudvangen\"><\/span>4. The Njardarheimr Viking Village in Gudvangen<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you love Nordic history and fancy something a little different, be sure to make a stop at the very end of N\u00e6r\u00f8yfjord. The village of Gudvangen is home to a <strong>fascinating Viking settlement called Njardarheimr<\/strong>, which takes you on a journey a thousand years back in time. And this is no cheap theme park \u2014 it&#8217;s a very careful, historically faithful reconstruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inside the village you won&#8217;t meet actors in costume, but <strong>genuine enthusiasts of the Viking way of life<\/strong> who actually live and work here during the season. You can watch skilled craftsmen working with wood, a blacksmith hammering away at red-hot iron, or <strong>try your hand at shooting a traditional bow<\/strong>. The locals are also happy to describe the details of their everyday life in the era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The place is ideal for families with children, but its <strong>authenticity will delight adult visitors too<\/strong>. During the summer months there are also various themed events and markets where you can buy beautiful handmade souvenirs. <strong>Tickets can be bought right on site<\/strong>, and the visit takes you roughly two hours of relaxed wandering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a3e2603c6303&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a3e2603c6303\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1207\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-sognefjord-naeroyfjord-10.jpg\" alt=\"The Jostedalsbreen glacier near Sognefjord\" class=\"wp-image-259893\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-sognefjord-naeroyfjord-10.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-sognefjord-naeroyfjord-10-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-sognefjord-naeroyfjord-10-700x469.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-sognefjord-naeroyfjord-10-768x515.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-sognefjord-naeroyfjord-10-1536x1030.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-sognefjord-naeroyfjord-10-696x467.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-sognefjord-naeroyfjord-10-1392x933.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<!-- LKM_GYG_CARD start q=\"sognefjord naeroyfjord\" lang=\"en\" rendered=\"2026-06-26T02:19:37+00:00\" v=\"1\" -->\n<style id=\"lk-gyg-styles\">\n@import url(\"https:\/\/fonts.googleapis.com\/css2?family=Playfair+Display:wght@700&family=DM+Sans:wght@300;400;500;600&display=swap\");\n\/* === LK GYG karty \u2014 CRO redesign 2026-05 (namespace .lkx-) ===\n   C\u00edl: vy\u0161\u0161\u00ed CTR (hero + v\u00fdrazn\u00fd social proof + ak\u010dn\u00ed CTA, m\u00e9n\u011b \"reklamn\u00ed\").\n   Injektuje se inline do prvn\u00edho markeru postu (refresh_cards.py --inline-css). *\/\n.lkx-module, .lkx-module *{box-sizing:border-box;margin:0;padding:0}\n.lkx-module{\n  font-family:'DM Sans',-apple-system,Segoe UI,Roboto,Georgia,sans-serif;\n  max-width:860px;margin:2.5rem auto;color:#1f2328;\n}\n\n\/* HEADER \u2014 lehk\u00fd editorsk\u00fd, \u017e\u00e1dn\u00fd bannerov\u00fd blok;

Its historic centre, known as Gamle L\u00e6rdals\u00f8yri, is a protected heritage zone, and you&#8217;ll find <strong>over 160 well-preserved wooden houses<\/strong> here from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. A stroll through these quiet lanes is balm for the soul and a wonderful rest from the natural extremes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just outside town, however, you&#8217;ll come across a genuine technical marvel of our age. <strong>The L\u00e6rdal Tunnel links L\u00e6rdal with Aurland<\/strong>, and at 24.5 kilometres long it holds the title of the longest road tunnel in the world. Driving through the dark tube takes about twenty minutes, and it really is a strange feeling to know you have <strong>hundreds of metres of solid rock above you<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To keep drivers from nodding off during the long, monotonous journey, the engineers came up with an ingenious solution. <strong>The tunnel is divided by huge cavern halls<\/strong>, lit with a mystical blue and yellow glow that resembles a sunrise. In these widened spaces you can <strong>safely pull over, take a break<\/strong> and snap some truly unique photos from deep within the earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a3e2603c6e64&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a3e2603c6e64\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1207\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-sognefjord-naeroyfjord-12.jpg\" alt=\"The Borgund stave church\" class=\"wp-image-259895\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-sognefjord-naeroyfjord-12.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-sognefjord-naeroyfjord-12-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-sognefjord-naeroyfjord-12-700x469.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-sognefjord-naeroyfjord-12-768x515.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-sognefjord-naeroyfjord-12-1536x1030.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-sognefjord-naeroyfjord-12-696x467.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-sognefjord-naeroyfjord-12-1392x933.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_The_Urnes_and_Borgund_stave_churches\"><\/span>6.

In the Sognefjord region you have a unique chance to admire two of the absolute most significant ones. <strong>Urnes Church sits on the shores of Lustrafjord<\/strong> and is the oldest surviving church of its kind, which has earned it a well-deserved place on the UNESCO list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its construction dates all the way back to the twelfth century, and it&#8217;s adorned with <strong>beautiful wood carvings blending Christian motifs with Viking animal patterns<\/strong>. Reaching it requires a short ferry ride from the little village of Solvorn, but that small effort is absolutely worth it. The atmosphere of a place surrounded by orchards is one of a kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;d rather not travel too far from the main road, <strong>stop by Borgund Church<\/strong>, located just beyond the L\u00e6rdal Tunnel. Of all the Norwegian stavkirke, this is <strong>the best-preserved and most photogenic<\/strong>. Its roofs are topped with fierce dragon heads, meant to ward off evil spirits, and the whole structure has an incredibly mystical feel to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a3e2603c73a9&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a3e2603c73a9\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-sognefjord-naeroyfjord-13.jpg\" alt=\"The Nigardsbreen glacier arm\" class=\"wp-image-259896\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-sognefjord-naeroyfjord-13.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-sognefjord-naeroyfjord-13-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-sognefjord-naeroyfjord-13-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-sognefjord-naeroyfjord-13-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-sognefjord-naeroyfjord-13-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-sognefjord-naeroyfjord-13-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-sognefjord-naeroyfjord-13-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Igor Passchier \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_The_Jostedalsbreen_glacier_and_the_Nigardsbreen_arm\"><\/span>7.

Although the main mass of ice hides high in the mountains, numerous glacial arms flow down from the plateau into the valleys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most accessible and most beautiful tongues is <strong>Nigardsbreen, which you can easily reach<\/strong> by turning off from the Lustrafjord area. Just the sight of a huge river of blue ice cutting into a green valley is a staggering experience.

Alongside the large cruise ferries, you now have far more modern and intimate ways to explore the waters. <strong>Aurland and Fl\u00e5m are home to modern electric boats<\/strong> that make no noise at all, so they don&#8217;t disturb the valley&#8217;s calm atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These vessels glide across the water in complete silence, so <strong>you stand a great chance of spotting seals or porpoises<\/strong>, which often come right up to the boat.

Just follow the signs to Gudvangen and Fl\u00e5m, and the road will reliably guide you through picturesque mountain passes. From Britain, the easiest approach is to fly directly into Bergen \u2014 there are regular connections from London and other UK airports \u2014 and then continue by car or train.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re not planning to rent a car, <strong>the best option is the famous Norway in a Nutshell package<\/strong>. It&#8217;s a cleverly assembled tour combining an express train ride from Oslo or Bergen, a transfer to the Fl\u00e5m Railway and a subsequent boat cruise along N\u00e6r\u00f8yfjord. You don&#8217;t have to fiddle about buying tickets from various operators \u2014 <strong>everything is sorted in a single booking<\/strong> and the connections link up perfectly. This is also a great answer if you&#8217;re searching for the classic Norway train journey from Bergen to Sognefjord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For longer car journeys, be prepared to <strong>frequently use the local car ferries<\/strong>. The fjords are enormous and building bridges across them is often impossible, so short crossings over the water become a routine part of your travels.

Once you&#8217;ve explored all the viewpoints and glaciers, <strong>I&#8217;d definitely recommend heading south to the historic city of Bergen<\/strong>, which is full of colourful wooden houses and great markets. Take a look at our tips in <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/things-to-do-bergen-norway\/\">Bergen: what to see<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to take a broader view of your Norwegian trip and you&#8217;re after inspiration for the days ahead, have a read of our extensive article <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/best-places-norway\/\">Norway: 50 things to see<\/a>. It&#8217;s packed with ideas, from the southern beaches all the way to the rugged north beyond the Arctic Circle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And for those of you who&#8217;ve fallen for the deep valleys and salty water cutting into the mountains, we&#8217;ve put together a complete <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/best-norwegian-fjords\/\">guide to the Norwegian fjords<\/a>. There you&#8217;ll learn about other famous areas too, such as the nearby Hardangerfjord or the breathtaking Geirangerfjord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_asked_questions\"><\/span>Frequently asked questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781793667000\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_the_difference_between_Sognefjord_and_Naeroyfjord\"><\/span>What&#8217;s the difference between Sognefjord and N\u00e6r\u00f8yfjord?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>While Sognefjord is the main, longest and mightiest fjord in Norway, <strong>N\u00e6r\u00f8yfjord is just one of its smaller arms<\/strong>. However, it is much narrower, enclosed by steeper mountains and thanks to its exceptional beauty has made it onto the UNESCO World Heritage list.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781793667001\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_get_to_Sognefjord_and_Naeroyfjord-2\"><\/span>How to get to Sognefjord and N\u00e6r\u00f8yfjord?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>You can get here most easily <strong>by car or train from the city of Bergen<\/strong>. If you don&#8217;t want to drive, the ideal solution is to purchase the combined Norway in a Nutshell circuit, which cleverly connects train travel with a fjord cruise into one smooth experience.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781793667002\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_the_cruise_from_Gudvangen_to_Flam_worth_it\"><\/span>Is the cruise from Gudvangen to Fl\u00e5m worth it?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Definitely yes. This is the most beautiful and photogenic part of the entire waterway system and <strong>you&#8217;ll see the narrowest sections of the fjord directly from the deck<\/strong>. A ticket for this approximately two-hour cruise will cost you around 400 to 500 NOK.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781793667003\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Norway_in_a_Nutshell\"><\/span>What is Norway in a Nutshell?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>This is the most popular travel package in Norway. <strong>It combines a ride on the main Bergensbanen railway<\/strong>, a transfer to the steep Fl\u00e5m Railway, and a subsequent scenic cruise across the N\u00e6r\u00f8yfjord. It can be done as a day trip from both Bergen and Oslo.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781793667004\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_is_the_best_time_to_visit_the_Norwegian_fjords\"><\/span>When is the best time to visit the Norwegian fjords?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The greatest certainty of favorable weather and fully open services is <strong>during the summer months from June to August<\/strong>. It&#8217;s beautiful here in spring too, when thanks to melting snow from the mountains, the mightiest and wildest waterfalls cascade down.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781793667005\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_the_Flam_Railway_Worth_It\"><\/span>Is the Fl\u00e5m Railway Worth It?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Definitely yes, it&#8217;s a technical marvel and <strong>one of the steepest railway lines in the world<\/strong>. The views into the deep valley and the close passage around the Kjosfossen waterfall are so unique that we&#8217;ve dedicated a completely separate article to this railway line.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781793667006\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_stay_around_Sognefjord-2\"><\/span>Where to stay around Sognefjord?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The best starting points for your trips are <strong>the village of Fl\u00e5m, the quieter Aurland, or the picturesque Balestrand<\/strong>.
