Norway is a country which is mainly known for its beautiful natural landscapes, like mountains and coastlines. But it also has a long and complex history that leads to a number of cultural attractions. Here I also enjoyed the great outdoor activities. I had taken a closer look at the most visited tourist attractions in the country. Given below is the detailed description of the cultural wonders of Norway which I experienced.<\/p>\n

Gateway to the Cultural Wonders of Norway<\/strong><\/h2>\n

1.) The first place I visited was the Floibanen Railway<\/strong>. It is the number 1 most visited cultural
\nattraction in Norway. It was opened in the year 1918 after 11 years of planning and
\nconstruction. This rail line is between Bergen City centre and Floyen Mountain. During my
\nvisit, I took a train to the mountaintop and hiked its trails and also caught a beautiful view of
\nthe city below.<\/p>\n

2.) My next stop was Holmenkollbakken and Ski Museum<\/strong>. Basically, Holmenkollbakken is a ski
\njumping hill located in the Holmenkollbakken National Arena of Oslo. It is also a sit for ski
\nfestivals. The area around the hill can hold up to 70,000 attendees. Along with this, I visited
\nthe Holmenkollbakken Ski Museum which is located nearby. It gave me a look at the history
\nof skiing and worked as a simulator of jumping the Holmenkollbakken. It is the 2nd\u00a0most
\nvisited cultural wonder in Norway.<\/p>\n

3.) After this, I visited a place named Bryggen<\/strong>. It is a coastal dock which is located on the eastern
\nside of the Vagen harbour in the city of Bergen. From the history of the place, I got to know
\nthat the buildings were designed in a Hanseatic Architectural style used by the Hanseatic
\nMerchants of the Hanseatic Era. It was established in the year 1070. In the year 1979, this
\nplace became a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This place preserves one of the oldest trading
\nports of Northern Europe.<\/p>\n

4.) The next stop was something very interesting. It was the Kristiansand Zoo<\/strong> and Amusement
\nPark. This was established in the year 1966 and covered an area of 150 acres. I saw different
\nanimals and also a number of other attractions like Cardamom Town, Captain Sabertooth world
\nand the port of Abra pirate village. This place had a haunted house and a variety of other
\nshops and several hotels.<\/p>\n

5.) Hadeland Glassverk<\/strong> was my next visit. It was an industrial site of glass works. It was founded
\nin 1762 and was one of the oldest continuously operating industrial company in the country. It
\nproduced glass bottles, medicine bottles, and jars for the chemist. Later on, it was restricted to
\nproduce cups, plates, vase, and bowls. The most interesting part about this place was that I got
\nto make my own pieces of glass.<\/p>\n

6.) Fredrikstad Fortress<\/strong>, Old town of Fredrikstad was built between 1663 and 1666. It is the
\noldest building in Fredrikstad that I visited. It is the most well-preserved military fortress in
\nthe country today. I learned about the history and its architectural style. I also viewed the art
\nexhibits which were displayed within.<\/p>\n
