Bergen Holidays

I remember many fabulous trips to Bergen, a city surrounded by mountains and the rain from the Norwegian sea. It is a city full of attractions including Bryggen, the Fløibanen Funicular, the Fish Market, Edvard Grieg Museum at Troldhaugen and Fantoft Stave Church. The rain makes it a really clean city with a refreshing feeling, but it adapts to sunshine very quickly with umbrellas and coasts replaced by seats on cafe pavements in an instant. The railway inbetween Oslo and Bergen ranks as spectacular summer or winter for a novice train enthusiast like me.
I have found several websites with deals for travel to bergen

Lofoten dream

When I think about norway, it is the nature that comes foremost in my mind. Rugged mountains, ancient pine forests and houses hewn from their woodlands. A tranquility in the surroundings reflected in the warmth of the Norwegian people. And subtract all of this into a bottle and then there would be the islands of Lofoten, the whole of rural Norway in miniture, like a ship within its bottle home, telling the story of the flets that sailed alongside.
A summer in Lofoten would be a dream destination. I found more information about lofoten holidays here http://www.esprest.com

Concise website on Norway

I've always been a fan of mountainous countries and just found a great site on my favourite country of Norway. There are alot of sites out there but this had good reviews on sites like stumble upon and gives a concise view of Norway as well as latest flight deals which is always useful!
