This five-day package allows you to experience the two most important cities in Norway—Oslo and Bergen—with all the cultural treats they have to offer. In addition, the tour includes an unforgettable train journey from the east to the west. This Norway in a Nutshell® ride from Oslo to Bergen will definitely leave you with memories for a lifetime, with its panoramic view of some of the greatest highlights of Norwegian nature. The package includes accommodation in the Oslo, Bergen and Flåm areas.
Day 1: Capital of Norway
Arrival at Oslo international airport; Individual transfer to your accommodation, situated in the heart of Oslo City. If you arrive early, we recommend getting the Oslo Tourist Pass, which provides free travel on all public transport, free admission to over 25 museums and sites, discounts on further attractions and sightseeing, restaurants and shops. Stay in a hotel in Oslo City Central. Stay the night in Oslo.
Day 2: From Oslo to Flåm, Norway in a Nutshell: Part One
Today you’ll start early and head to Oslo Central Station, where you’ll board the Bergensbanen train that will take you over the mountain roof of Norway on your way to Bergen. The ride, voted one of the 20 best railways in the world, will take you through the charming villages of Gol and Geilo on your way to Myrdal Station. In Myrdal, you’ll switch trains to take the Flåm Railway, an incredible 20 km ride with a difference in altitude of 900 meters, taking you down to the beautiful town of Flåm. In Flåm, you’ll have free admission to the Flåm Railway Documentation Centre, located right beside Flåm Station, where you can learn about the construction of the world’s steepest railway line. Stay the night in the Flåm area.
Day 3: From Flåm to Bergen, Norway in a Nutshell: Part Two
From Flåm, you’ll be transported by boat onto the Aurlandsfjord and into the World Heritage-listed Nærøyfjord, the narrowest fjord in Europe. This is perhaps the most beautiful and wildest arm of the Sognefjord, with its tall mountains, mighty waterfalls and small farms clinging to the steep mountainsides, bound to leave you breathless. The boat will take you to Gudvangen, and from there you’ll be transported by bus up Stalheimskleiva, Northern Europe’s steepest stretch of road, which winds through 13 hairpin bends on its way up to Stalheim Hotel, with its beautiful panoramic view. You will then continue to Voss, where you’ll board the train, taking you the last stretch to Bergen. Stay the night in Bergen.
Day 4: Highlights of Bergen
Despite being an international city, Bergen has kept the atmosphere and charm of a small town. Your accommodation in the centre of the city makes an excellent starting point for exploring the “capital of the fjords”. Bergen is a wonderful, must-visit city, full of life and culture. In Bergen you’ll find Bryggen, listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage site; exceptional old houses; the vibrant fish and flower market; cable cars offering stunning views; great museums, and more. In the afternoon you will board the train that will take you directly back to Oslo. Now it’s time to lie back and enjoy the worry-free features of travelling by train, escorted by beautiful scenery.
Day 5: Departure Day
Individual transfer to Oslo International Airport. If your flight is in the afternoon, you’ll have time for some last-minute shopping, visit one of Oslo’s many museums, or just relax at a café after an enjoyable holiday.
