Highlights of Norway

Arrive Oslo and make your own way into the city via the airport train. Oslo is a nature centric city, with greenery and wooded areas never far away. Besides enjoying these spaces, it is recommended to take the ferry down to the island Bygdøy to see the many museums there and stroll through Vigelandsparken, the largest single artist sculpture garden in the world.

Discover the new area of Bjorvika with the new Opera House and Munch Museum and then explore the charming shopping streets, cosy cafés and exciting eateries of Grünerløkka. After going shopping at numerous design boutiques, vintage shops and flea markets, head to the Mathallen food hall for local specialties. Lastly, visit the new National Museum of Norway down by the harbour before finding a spot in one of the local fish restaurants for dinner.

Pack a small bag for tomorrow night and leave the rest of your luggage with hotel reception. Porter service will be by early tomorrow morning to transport it directly to your Bergen hotel.

Depart by train this morning, a spectacular journey over Northern Europe’s largest mountain plateau. Arrive into the small, mountain station of Myrdal and after a short layover, transfer to the famous Flåmsbana (Flåm Railway). This hour-long historic train ride will take you through some of the most beautiful parts of western Norway, slowing down and even stopping at the most scenic spots. Arrive in the well-known fjord village of Flåm where you will be spending the night. Walk the short distance to your hotel for check in and enjoy your evening in the fjords.

Optional afternoon activity: Join a Heritage Food Tasting 3-hour rib boating safari.

Use your morning to hike and explore Flåm on your own before your boat departs. Cast off from Flåm for a two hour fjord cruise through the UNESCO World Heritage listed Nærøyfjord to Gudvangen. In Gudvangen you change to the connecting bus to Voss, taking you through the beautiful scenery and the magnificent Nærøy valley. In Voss you change to a train that takes you to Bergen. Transfer independently from the train station to your hotel, meeting up again with your luggage.

Please note that you are able to add an optional visit to the Viking Village Gudvangen today, however, you will not arrive into Bergen until 20.40pm.

Before departing, head out for some sightseeing in Bergen. A hike or Fløibanen Funicular journey up to the top of Mount Fløyen is a must for first-time visitors to the city. There is great shopping in the old Hanseatic wharf Bryggen, as well as numerous fascinating museums and historic sights.
