Flåm is a picturesque mountain village nestled in the end of Aurlandsfjorden, and right in the middle of the Norway in a Nutshell tour. It's the destination of the famous Flåmsbana, which is oftentimes described as the world’s most scenic train ride. It winds through the scenic Flåm Valley and stops at the mighty Kjossfossen waterfall.

Leaving in the other direction from Flåm is the beautiful experience of the fjord cruise from Flåm to Gudvangen. You'll sail the majestic Nærøyfjord, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. At Gudvangen, we recommend you visit the Viking Valley and witness how the old Nordic people lived in real life.

If you are staying in Flåm, consider visiting a couple of major attractions here. For instance, you can learn more about Flåmsbana at the Flåm Railway Museum – the entrance is free of charge! The other notable point of interest is the Flåm Church, which dates back to as far as 1340 (but was completed only in 1670). Fretheim Cultural Park is also an interesting place where you can have a relaxed walk and get a lovely view of this mountain village.

For travelers with a more active lifestyle, there are a couple of fascinating trekking routes. You can hike to the Stegastein viewpoint, which offers spectacular views of the fjord and mountains. Another worthwhile hike leads to the Brekkefossen waterfall, which you can see up close. There are fantastic opportunities for hiking and cycling in Flåm Valley – or consider enjoying that fantastic scenery using Scandinavia’s longest zipline! ;)

Top 5 Free Travel Attractions in Oslo

Norwegian cities aren't exactly known for their low cost of living, and Oslo is no exception. If you're traveling on a budget, you may be interested in these free attractions in the city!

1. Oslo Opera House. This bright example of modern Nordic architecture symbolizes a glacier floating in the Oslofjord. You can climb on the roof without stepping a foot inside and enjoy a beautiful view of the city. The beautiful lobby is also free to enter, and you can of course buy a ticket to the many musical performances it hosts. You can also cross the street to see Oslo's beautiful futuristic public library with great views of the harbor and opera house.

2. Vigeland Sculpture Park. Frogner Park, as the locals call it, is home to an impressive, one-of-a-kind installation that consists of 212 sculptures and culminates in a huge monolith. All of these sculptures were designed by Gustav Vigeland, a prominent Norwegian architect, and they depict all aspects of human life. The park is accessible 24/7.

3. Oslo City Hall. The construction of this towering red-brick edifice in the vicinity of Aker Brygge was completed in 1950, and it immediately became the city's landmark. The walls of the city hall feature bold Norwegian frescoes and art, which depicts the country's history, culture, mythology, and work life.

4. Tjuvholmen Sculpture Park. This sculpture park is an installation in the affluent neighborhood of Tjuvholmen. The park is located just next to Astrup Fearnley Museum and it was designed by Italian architect Renzo Piano.

5. Stortinget. Generally, the Norwegian parliament is not accessible to the public. However, there are free guided tours that take place on Saturday (you can look up the dates and information on the website of Stortinget). Bear in mind that you cannot pre-book this guided tour, just show up at the agreed time.

😍🇳🇴 Norway in a Nutshell is Norway's most popular and scenic travel experience. It's a self-guided tour package that combines several different modes of public transport—train, bus, and boat—to showcase some of the country's most breathtaking fjord and mountain landscapes. 😊

The tour typically runs between the major cities of Oslo and Bergen (or as a round trip from either city) and includes several world-renowned legs. One of them is the Flåm Railway, one of the world's steepest and most famous train rides, featuring a photo stop at the powerful Kjosfossen waterfall. Another iconic experience is two-hour cruise that glides through the Aurlandsfjord and the narrow, UNESCO-protected Nærøyfjord, which is surrounded by dramatic 1,400 to 1,700-meter high mountain walls.
