Ålesund. You've got the city center with distinct art noveau architecture, and with (separate) day trips around it you'll find the bird colonies at Runde, the Sunnmøre Alps, Geiranger, Trollstigen mountain road crossing, Hustadvika and Bud with the islands including Ona Lighthouse and Romsdalsfjorden and Storfjorden.

I would then definately go to the Lofoten Islands. It is perfect for nature lovers. It is just very beautiful, and has tons to offer when it comes to activites.. Check out these websites .. http://www.xxlofoten.no/ and http://www.lofoten.com/ There are several other websites as well, but just google the Lofoten Islands, and you will see what I mean..

Elin!

You dont mention any of your interests so that makes it difficult to suggest new places. But if you really are an outdoor type, I would suggest walking in the mountains.

will give you ideas.

I loved the far north around Karasjok, and the areas between there and Hammerfest, but I was there in the winter. Not sure when you're going or what its like in other seasons, but I can only assume it would be beautiful. If you're into wilderness, this is a great area. Beautiful, remote and different.
I also agree with the above post which recommends the Lofoten Islands, amazing.

Hi Ramishere,

do you need a place next to an airport? Then try Leknes (on Lofoten)!
If not, you might consider Finse on the Oslo-Bergen train line - best enjoyed either in July/August for summer hikes and glacier trips, or in February to April for skiing in a white desert. Take a look at this page for some ideas:

May the force be wih you ;-)
