Gudvangen and Geiranger, two villages in the central fjords, are some of the most popular cruise ship anchorages in Scandinavia.
What to watch
The most amazing view of the fjord opens from the Flüdalsjuvet rock, which seems to be floating in the air - practically, “at the threshold to heaven”. Other famous local attractions are the waterfalls "Bridal Veil" and "Seven Sisters", falling from somewhere in the dense forests directly into the mirror-like surface of the fjord.

You should definitely visit the Geirangerfjord Museum, which displays numerous artifacts that tell about the history of the region. From the top of Dyupvashyuta you can go down to the shore by bike along a beautiful road - the reward will be as much as 17 km of breathtaking views.
