 Other Places to Visit and Things to Do in Norway 1. Peer into the pulpit of the preacher Preikestolen (Preacher's Pulpit or Preacher's Chair) is a well-known Norwegian landmark (you've probably seen it on Instagram). Preikestolen, an extraordinarily flat and wide surface atop a cliff, can only be reached by hiking a 4km trail. With about 200,000 visitors each year, you'll want to arrive early to avoid the crowds and get some pictures. The hike is free and relatively fast, but parking your car will cost you 200 NOK. The best time to visit is between June and September. 2. Visit the magnificent National Parks Norway is home to some of the world's most breathtaking natural beauty.

It's a gathering where everybody dresses up as a cowboy for a few days. It'll be a lot of fun, and you'll meet a lot of interesting people from all over the world.

It's one of Canada's most prestigious events. 2. Go skiing or snowboarding In the winter, the Canadian mountains are ideal for skiing and snowboarding.

  Europe's Top 5 Things to See and Do 1. Travel to Amsterdam. Coffee shops and red lights aren't the only things to see in the neighbourhood. I adore Amsterdam and spent a brief amount of time there in 2006. Cobblestone and brick streets wind their way through beautiful canals. Amsterdam has a thriving art and music scene, as well as welcoming locals who are eager to assist you. Make your way out of the city centre to the Jordaan and Oost, which have fantastic outdoor cafes. 2. Spend some time in Barcelona. Barcelona is a city that operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and could challenge New York City for the title of "city that never sleeps." Be prepared for late-night dinners and parties that last until the wee hours of the morning. Barcelona knows how to have a good time. There is a wonderful beach, Gaudi architecture, and history dating back to Roman times, in addition to great food and nightlife. 3. Go to Berlin Stylish and fashionable Berlin is a buzzing ...

I don't suggest something involving dolphins, such as shark diving, because it's bad for the wildlife you're working with. 2. Travel aroun...
