Where to base yourself, how to get around and which fjord cruises are worth it.

Why the fjords

Norway's western fjords are steep-sided, waterfall-fed and best seen from the water. Geiranger and Naeroyfjord are both UNESCO listed.

    Great detail on the hikes. Some trailheads need a car, which could be clearer.

    Decent overview, though the ferry timetable had changed by the time we travelled.

    Great guide. One small update: the ferry now leaves twenty minutes earlier.

  • Grace Mwangi

    Your packing list saved us. It got cold much faster than we expected after sunset.

  • James O'Connor

    Went back a second time because of this story and found even more to see.
