Geirangerfjorden, located in Norway, has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2005. A ferry between the towns of Geiranger and Hellesylt doubles as a sightseeing trip. A number of farms dot the shores of the fjord and some of them can be visited. Popular farms to visit include Skageflå, Knivsflå, and Blomberg. There are three notable waterfalls along the fjord as well. The Seven Sisters and the Suitor sit opposite one another on the fjord. The Bridal Veil is so named because it looks like a bridal veil when the the falls are backlit by the sun.
Geirangerfjorden can be reached by car from Oslo (seven-eight hours), Bergen (five-seven hours), or Trondheim (five-six hours)
