Beyond the main cities of Bergen, Trondheim and Stavanger, the coastline is dotted with rustic fishing villages accessible only by boat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Landscape:<\/strong> Pine forests, mountains and glaciers run down to still, dark-water fjords where hiking, mountaineering and boating are popular summer activities. Winter visitors are lured by the skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling and dog-sledding at resorts such as Lillehammer, home of the 1994 Winter Olympics.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Food:<\/strong> Fish is a staple of the Norwegian diet and is even served smoked for breakfast along with meat, cheese, eggs and bread. Popular main meals include meatballs, boiled fish, roast elk, reindeer or a dried cod stew known as <em>bacalao.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Language:<\/strong> English is widely spoken in the main cities and the currency is Norwegian krone. Beer and cider are popular drinks and, be warned, wine and spirits are expensive. Alcohol is only available in restaurants and bars or through the government-controlled Vinmonopolet outlets.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Oslo<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/travelblog.expedia.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Akershus-Fortress-Oslo-GettyImages-487168684.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-9039\" src=\"https:\/\/travelblog.expedia.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Akershus-Fortress-Oslo-GettyImages-487168684-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"Akershus Fortress, Oslo\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Over half of Norway\u2019s five million population are concentrated in the southeast, around the capital city of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/Oslo.d178295.Destination-Travel-Guides\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Oslo<\/a>.
