Norway is not famous for the beautiful palaces, historical museums and medieval palaces. Although they are, but it is not the main thing in this country. But she takes the soul to other - astounding beauty by nature.

And all this is diluted with a magnificent excursion program, which is designed for people with different tastes and requests. Many tourists in this country also attracts the kindness and hospitality of local residents who try to do everything for the convenience of foreign guests.

Historical Museum in Oslo
Three museums are located at one roof. There are richest exhibits - such as jewelry, coins and artifacts of the Viking era. In the ethnographic part of the museum there are exhibits from around the world.

On the first floor of the historical museum you can see the ancient exhibits that were found in the country. The most ancient of them is about 10,000 years. The magnificent helmets of the Vikings retain the greatest interest, they are very well preserved.
In the hall of the coin presents coins with deep antiquity of the country and to modern. But there are not only Norwegian money, but also from other countries. The most remarkable coins refer to the Carthage era, which is now on the territory of Tunisia.
It is interesting to visit the halls belonging to the history of ancient Egypt. This museum presents a rich collection of ancient mummies. Most of them were presented to the Swedish king. And it remains only to guess where they came from him. Apparently, in the era of the looting of Egypt, Europeans and the Swedes did not remain aside. And now, even in a cold Oslo, you can see the mummies of the beautiful South Priestess Nofret.
For the convenience of tourists in the museum there is a cafe and shop.

Norway Maritime Museum

There are rooms in which many ways of building ships are represented. The oldest and amazing exhibit of more than 4,000 years. And this is not all that can be seen in this amazing museum.
Road trolls
This very colorful and dangerous road in Norway is still called the staircase of trolls. The road connects between the two Norwegian cities - Ondalsnes and Valldal. When lifting a height of 858 meters, the road commits 11 cool turns. But when the tired traveler overcomes the path, as a reward for his efforts, he gets a wonderful look. And not the top of the mountain, it is also waiting for shops of souvenirs, cafes and, in fact, the viewing platform with which this wonderful look opens. In winter, such a journey will be impossible, because because of the big danger, this road is simply closed.
