Voted Norway's greatest engineering feat of the 20th century, the Atlantic Road is a can't-miss marvel. Running from the island of Averoy to the Norwegian mainland, the 8.3-kilometer road is made up of eight bridges as well as causeways and viaducts touching many tiny islets in the Norwegian sea — but it's real attraction is the dramatic views of mountains, windswept sea and coastal landscapes.
