The guide

Norway, city by city

Cidade Turismo is a travel guide built city by city, now also in Norway. For each place you'll find things to do, attractions with their own page, when to go and how to get there.

The guide has three ways in, so you can start wherever you like: routes, which link towns along one journey; destinations, which are the tourist regions; and the counties, with the main cities in each one.

The texts are written from official tourism sources, such as national and regional tourism offices, national parks and city halls, and new cities and routes keep being added to the guide.
