- Today we are spending 24 hours in the beautiful town of Geiranger in the West Norwegian Fjords. This is a well-known town that is frequented by cruise ships and is generally overpriced and overrun by tourists. Our first impressions of the town were similar, but by the time we left we had fallen in love with the surrounding areas, but not the town itself.
We stayed at the Hotel Geiranger. The decor was a bit old but the waterfront balcony was nice once the cruise ships left in the evening. You can book your stay here (Affiliate link):

Kayaking on the Fjord was a highlight. The twin waterfalls, and the surrounding mountains, make this one of the best places to go kayaking in Norway. The cruise ships don't cause too many issues with this.

Agreed! Amazing place to visit, and some of the surrounding towns are less busy but equally beautiful!
First syllable is pronounced “guy.”
Thanks for letting me know… the audio on Google translate may have led me astray :-)
My parents went there in 1972 from their picture slides definitely different
Has a very industrialised feel at the waterfront with a three ships a day pouring people into the town....
We’re headed to Norway in August and I’m debating if Geiranger is worth the trouble considering how touristy and crowded it is. I mean there are great scenic overlooks and fjords everywhere, so, is this one really worth the trouble?
The skywalk and surrounding viewpoints are nice and not that crowded. The middle of town is only worthwhile if you would like to walk along the waterfall walk, which will only take 30 min. I wouldn't stay there overnight again and just stay nearby for half the cost.... The kayaking is amazing though if you have the time to spare and the energy :-)
I’m here now. Definitely worth the overnight stay. We’re staying two nights to do some kayaking, a cruise, some hikes and just hang out.
