Overview

This four-day Norwegian experience starts in Bergen where you'll explore this wooden city which is famous for its colourful and iconic Hanseatic Bryggen Wharf.

In Bergen, you can spend your days taking a ride on the Fløibanen Funicular and also visiting the Troldhaugen, the Fish and Flower Market, the Bergen Aquarium and the Gamle Bergen (Old Bergen Open Air Museum).

You'll then take a short but great overnight excursion from Bergen to Hardangerfjord, the second-largest fjord in Norway famous for its fruit orchards. The contrast created by green hillsides, orchards in blossom and snow-clad mountains is breathtaking.

By train and bus, through attractive farmland, you'll travel to the small village of Ulvik, beautifully located by the Hardangerfjord. The village famously inspired the well-known Norwegian composer, Edvard Grieg, with his famous composition 'Spring'.
