Nice to stop in Molde, Norway, on Celebrity Silhouette…read more Since our tour was cancelled at the last minute, we contacted LokalTaxi to take us to the scenic overlook, Atlantic Ocean Road and Bud. In the afternoon, we wandered through the city. Molde is known as the City of Roses. Nice to be able to see so many beautiful varieties. Climb to the rooftop garden above City Hall and visit the Molde Cathedral. Definitely try the waffles with brown cheese. It is a favorite Norwegian treat. Visit Bunnpris or Kiwi to bring some tasty treats to share with family or friends. Check out the Romsdal Museum. So interesting to explore homes, barns, and cottages that represent different regions in Norway. Nice to walk around the pond and see the ducks and goats. The presentation of traditional Norwegian folk dances and homemade baked goods was a nice treat. Worth the climb up the hill. A nice stop during our cruise to Norway.

Trollstigen Road is an impressive mountain road with eleven hairpin turns in the Romsdal Valley…read more Due to several rockslides, the road was closed for the 2024 summer season, so our original tour was cancelled. Fortunately, we were able to book a tour with Trond from Local Trips to reach the scenic overlook. The viewpoint from the Trollstigen plateau is gorgeous. Nice to be able to make several stops along the way to view steep mountains, towering waterfalls, deep fjords and lush valleys. The view platform itself is actually suspended 200 meters above the ground, but the solid steel and glass construction is sturdy. Not so crowded when we visited, probably due to the road closures making it more challenging to reach the viewing platform. Trollstigen is surrounded by colossal mountains, such as the Bishop, the King and the Queen. Bispen, Kongen and Dronninga. Imagine this road being built almost a century ago. Definitely a highlight of our trip to Norway.

Very cool road with awesome views. I had assumed that it would be a fun drive due to the tight…read moreturns but you need to take it quite slow because it's narrow with blind turns. Unfortunately not too many places to pull over to take pictures. They do have a few including a big stop at the end (with a huge parking lot) that has restrooms, food, store, view points etc. Was a unforgettable experience.
