Lærdalsøyri Old Town
Gamle Lærdalsøyri
A well-preserved old town of 18th- and 19th-century wooden houses, with about 160 colorful buildings and a Norwegian wild salmon centre.
Lærdalsøyri is an old trading town on the shores of the Sognefjord. Its historic quarter has about 160 wooden houses from the 18th and 19th centuries and is protected as a nationally important cultural environment. Its quiet streets are pleasant for a walk. The Norwegian Wild Salmon Centre in town explains the famous salmon of the Lærdal River, and in summer you can watch the fish through observation windows. The old town is free to visit. It is about 40 km from Flåm via the Lærdal Tunnel, so you can combine it with a visit to Borgund Stave Church on the same day.
