A UNESCO World Heritage Site
It's just as reassuring as a product that's labeled as exempt from inspection
So if you're still worried about how to plan your trip,
It's not wrong to go to the World Heritage List!
And Norway
Well-known landscape and magnificent land,
To pick up natural/cultural heritage in such a country
Presumably, UNESCO has also taken pains
This carefully selected 7 Norwegian heritage sites,
It must also be a "no-check" zone for travel.
Bryggen
A microcosm of old Norway
Located on the seashore three kilometres west of the centre of Bergen, Bryggen is famous for its ancient architecture, mostly wooden buildings, which were built in the 18th century and restored to their former appearance.
The wooden houses are mostly three-story buildings, with narrow windows, steep triangular roofs, one or two yards in each building, and a stone basement. The shape is neat and orderly. It is also particularly lively because it is painted with colorful colors.

The city of Bergen is like an open-air museum of 35 old wooden houses. It shows the life of the norwegian people in the Middle Ages.
The houses are neatly arranged in the direction of the port, and now the outermost layer is mainly shops, restaurants, clothing stores, and inside is the artist's studio.
Special recommendation: Bergen Fish Market
Just 280 meters from Bryggen Harbour, the fish market is a paradise for seafood lovers. This open-air fish market has more than 30 stalls, as well as other stalls selling vegetables, flowers, and even animal skins. The fish market has a variety of cod, salmon, lobster, crab, etc. delicious, and while enjoying it, you can also buy some vacuum-packed caviar and crab to enjoy.

The Urnes Stave Church in Ornes was built in the 12th century and is the most famous of the 28 surviving old stave churches in Norway. The Vikings, who were already in decline at the time, had a unique view of the architecture of the stave church, and even developed it into an art.
The interior of the church is dominated by warm-colored century pine wood, crystal lamps are intricate and gorgeous, and the church benches, jesus and virgin carvings, preaching platforms, and choir screen decorations can all be traced back to the Middle Ages. Not to mention the exquisite wood carvings preserved in it. The square relief panels are surrounded by portrait reliefs, as well as wall skirts carved with leaf and dragon ornaments, which set off the grandeur of the church.

Røros Mining Town and Circumference
Living museum
Home to the largest copper mine in Europe, Røros is the place that has created great wealth and is probably the only mining town in the world made of wooden buildings.
The years have not left much trace on Leros. The streets and farmhouses in the center of the town are still the same as they were built in the early 17th century, with narrow streets, historic courtyards, interesting shops and workshops, and a unique taste of food from the cold and deserted land. The whole town seems to be a museum, showing the old days of this mining town.
If you are planning to stay overnight in Røros, the Erzscheidergaarden hotel is the place to be. Located in the centre of Røross town, it is individually decorated and features room stories on the walls. Breakfast is a homemade buffet that has been well received by Lonely Planet, while free coffee and homemade baked goods are available at all times.
Guests can also rent traditional Norwegian sled chairs for free on site and enjoy popular local activities such as cross-country skiing, hiking and dog sledding.
The rock art of Alta
Prehistoric summoning
In 1972, a site of prehistoric petroglyph art was discovered on the edge of Alte Fjord, Norway's northernmost form of Alta Fjord. These petroglyphs were created by local hunters and fishermen between 4,200 and 500 BC. They depicted various animals and scenes of hunting, fishing, sacrifice and farming on the rocks.
World Heritage Rock Art Center - Alta Museum
In order to preserve the extremely valuable wealth left by these ancestors to future generations, the Norwegian government has built a museum on the southwest outskirts of the town, which not only exhibits more than 3,000 petroglyphs in the surrounding area, but also shows the Sami culture, the military history of Finnmark County, the Alta Hydropower Project and the Northern Lights, and many other projects.

Western Norwegian fjords
Self-esteem at the head of the beauty of the world
"The narrow and steep crystal rock walls that rise over the Norwegian Sea are 1,400 metres high and 500 metres below the surface, creating a unique natural beauty here. In the fjords, there are countless waterfalls on the cliffs, and the free-flowing river flows through deciduous and pine-leaved forests into glacial lakes, glaciers and rugged mountains. ”
- UNESCO World List of Natural and Cultural Heritage
These stunning fjords were born during the Ice Age and have not changed dramatically since humans set foot in Norway. Glaciers that never melt all year round, waterfalls that rush down, seals thrive, whales swimming freely in the fjords... In such a paradise-like beauty, any praise is slightly pale, only to lament the magic of nature.
