The main attractions of Norway are the varied landscapes that extend across the [[Arctic Circle]]. It is famous for its coastline and its mountains, ski resorts, lakes and woods. Popular tourist destinations in Norway include [[Oslo]], [[Ålesund (town)|Ålesund]], [[Bergen (city)|Bergen]], [[Stavanger (city)|Stavanger]], [[Trondheim (city)|Trondheim]], [[Kristiansand (town)|Kristiansand]], [[Arendal (town)|Arendal]], [[Tromsø (city)|Tromsø]], [[Fredrikstad (town)|Fredrikstad]], and [[Tønsberg]]. Much of the nature of Norway remains unspoiled, and thus attracts numerous hikers and skiers. The fjords, mountains and waterfalls in [[Western Norway]] and [[Northern Norway]] attract several hundred thousand foreign tourists each year. In the cities, cultural idiosyncrasies such as the [[Holmenkollen ski jump]] in Oslo and [[:no:«Saga Oseberg»|Saga Oseberg]] in Tønsberg attract many visitors, as do landmarks such as [[Bryggen]] in Bergen, [[Vigeland installation]] in [[Frogner Park]] in Oslo, [[Nidaros Cathedral]] in Trondheim, [[Fredrikstad Fortress]] (''Gamlebyen'') in Fredrikstad, and [[Tønsberg Fortress|the ruin park of Tønsberg Fortress]] in Tønsberg.
