Feel free to add more, if you remember more in your city that you haven't named, go ahead and add it!

I wanna know what's in your city, so when I come there, I'd go there or ask for you as my personal tour director!!!

If you were in my area, I would suggest going to:

Local cafes

Geirganger (3 hrs from me)- can take a bus or drive by car, i would take u if you were my visitor

Isbreen museum (glacier museum) near the biggest glacier caps in norway - 2 hours away i think, reachable by bus and car.. i would accompany u or take u there by car :).. they also offer guided walks on the actual glaciers.

Hotell Union (to check out the haunted room! It's on the way to geirganger).

Driving around the fjord in my town, very scenic.. would take u too :)

Visiting Ålesund, the nearest big city- go to the mountaintop for the view and the cafe there.
