点评:Very nice small city; pop. ca 70,000 (reminded us of Reykjavik). Very safe (crime is illegal there). English widely spoken. Many things to do are all close together on the harbor; easy walks. Good tours to more remote things. Also good, affordable taxis (cheaper and more common than Uber; cab stands; hotels have hotlines to the taxis which come fast) and easy city busses. Not as expensive as we expected; dollar strong there (just a little more than where we live in US, W Mass.). Almost everything paid with credit card (we got some Krone to tip tour guides); some tipping but mostly no tipping. Airport not too far away. Flights and airports in transit (Copenhagen and Oslo) went OK. Nice hotels. Great food (fish esp. and reindeer, including reindeer hot dogs) and breweries (e.g., Mack). Some heated streets and gravel widely used otherwise when icy (shoe crampons still recommended; we had some rain on ice). Above Artic Circle (69 latitude) so some long(!) nights or days, dep. on month -- plan accordingly. But not that cold actually (they are in the Gulf Stream still, like Iceland); March was like W Mass at same time. Nice, happy people (Norway's reputation seems true). Good museum (Polaria). Good N lights tours -- may be very long bus rides though, 1.5 to 3 hrs each way, 4 hr limit (!) to get away from bayside weather to higher ground, often to Finland or Sweden. Beautiful scenery (bay with surrounding hills and mts; good fjord tours too, not so far, and very pleasant). Polar plunges for those into that. We did not try the boats or the nearby cable car (too windy and rainy, cable car closed due to wind); those looked good though. Three tries to see the N lights, again long bus rides, and clouds on two of them, but that one night (w 90 min bus) was spectacular.
翻译:非常漂亮的小城市,人口约7万(让我们想起了雷克雅未克)。非常安全(犯罪在那里是违法的)。英语普及率很高。港口附近有很多景点,步行即可轻松到达。也有不错的旅行团可以去更偏远的地方。出租车也很好,价格实惠(比Uber更便宜也更常见;有出租车候客点;酒店有出租车热线,叫车很快),城市公交车也很方便。物价没有我们预期的那么高;美元在那里很坚挺(只比我们在美国马萨诸塞州西部居住的地方略贵一点)。几乎所有消费都可以用信用卡支付(我们带了一些克朗用来给导游小费);有些人会给小费,但大多数情况下不需要。机场离得不远。航班和中转机场(哥本哈根和奥斯陆)都很顺利。酒店不错。食物很棒(尤其是鱼类和驯鹿肉,包括驯鹿热狗),还有啤酒厂(例如Mack啤酒厂)。有些街道有暖气,路面结冰时则普遍铺设碎石(仍然建议穿冰爪;我们遇到过冰面上下雨的情况)。位于北极圈以北(北纬69度),所以昼夜长短不一,具体取决于月份——请据此做好计划。但实际上并没有那么冷(他们仍然处于墨西哥湾暖流中,就像冰岛一样);三月份的气温和马萨诸塞州西部差不多。人们友善快乐(挪威的名声似乎名不虚传)。博物馆(北极博物馆)很棒。极光之旅也很不错——不过可能需要乘坐很长时间的巴士,单程1.5到3小时,而且为了避开海湾的恶劣天气前往地势较高的地方(通常是芬兰或瑞典),行程时间限制在4小时以内。风景优美(海湾周围环绕着群山;峡湾之旅也很棒,距离不远,而且非常宜人)。喜欢极地跳水的人可以体验一下。我们没有尝试乘船或乘坐附近的缆车(风雨太大,缆车因风大而关闭);不过看起来都很不错。三次尝试观看极光,每次都要坐很长时间的巴士,其中两次还被云层遮挡,但那一个晚上(坐了 90 分钟巴士)景色壮观。
