Shaped over millions of years by moving glaciers, Western Norway's ancient valleys and mountains are full of beauty.

Western Norway, known throughout the Scandinavian nation as Vestlandet, spans the striking Atlantic coast of southern Norway. The region is home to deep fjords, high cliffs, dramatic mountains, Flåm Railway, and colourful villages, as well as cities Florø, Stavanger, Ålesund, and the main city, Bergen (or Bryggen), a stunning urban centre known for its rich academic past, vibrant buildings, and high-quality seafood. Due to its prime seafront location, Bergen held a significant role in the Hanseatic League's trading empire.

Due to its beauty, light during the summer months, and snow during the winter months, this part of Norway is perfect for outdoor lovers and nature seekers, with activities including hiking, skiing, cycling, fishing, and kayaking being extremely popular. Most travellers head to Western Norway to see the UNESCO-listed fjord territory, with Geirangerfjord and the Nærøyfjord being simply unmissable.
