Lillehammer
Pop 27,051
Long a popular Norwegian ski resort, Lillehammer became known to the world after host-
ing the 1994 Winter Olympics. These Olympics, overwhelmingly considered a great suc-
cess, still provide the town with some of its most interesting sights. Lying at the northern
end of Lake Mjøsa and surrounded by farms, forests and small settlements, it's a laid-back
place with year-round attractions, although in winter it becomes a ski town par excellence.
