Vestrahorn

Reviewed By MarcusLYK - Singapore, Singapore

An entrance fee is required at the Viking cafe, and you get access to the entire area, including the Viking movie set. We could not get to the movie set as the parking was pretty far away. There are no proper carparks as indicated on the map. You just stop anywhere by the road. The weather was good when we reached, and every photo of the mountains came out so dramatically beautiful. Definitely did not regret coming to this place.
