Hardangervidda, near Eidfjord, is Europe's largest mountain plateau as well as Norway's largest national park.

The colourful buildings feature castle-like turrets and spires with intricate facades of ornamental flowers, gargoyles and Viking-inspired decorations.

Bordering the Norwegian Sea, this area is also famous for its mountain ranges and fjords. For those looking for a more active visit, Ålesund offers great hiking, mountain biking and kayaking.

The city is one of Europe’s oldest settlements and its cobblestone streets and narrow alleyways lead to emerald-green parks, Mediaeval cathedrals and centuries-old stone fortresses.
