With some awesome day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to soak up all that Balestrand, 25 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights starting with English Church of St. Olav, Sognefjord Aquarium and The Golden House Gallery. Don’t skip Aurland either! Just 40 miles away, Flam Marina, Flam Church and Flåmsbana Railway are essential stops here.
