Norway may not have many large cities, but the ones it does have are well worth a visit. Bergen, the country’s second largest city, is best admired from the top of Mount Fløyen, easily reached by an affordable cable car ride. The city is an ideal starting point for renting a car in Norway and exploring the Norwegian fjords and mountains. Ålesund is a picturesque town on the west coast. After being destroyed by fire in 1904, it was rebuilt in Art Nouveau style, with stunning results.
