Travel on Northern Europe’s highest railway, the Bergen Railway for phenomenal views as you pass through some untamed scenery. Setting off in southern Norway, the train starts its ascent into the mountains, travelling alongside deep fjords and passing through numerous tunnels to reach the stations at Arna and Dale. After the Trollkona tunnel – the longest on the line – you reach Bergen, situated on the edge of Norway’s fjord country.
Discover beautiful Bergen on a guided sightseeing tour. The city is nicknamed ‘the heart of the fjords’ due to its picturesque location nestled between seven fjords and boasts narrow cobblestone lanes and chocolate-box buildings. Head to the pretty Bryggen Waterfront, the location of the old Hanseatic trading wharf whose centuries-old wooden buildings feature on the UNESCO World Heritage list. Enjoy a delicious lunch before a free afternoon to look around at your own pace. You could pay a visit to the Bergen Museum, where you’ll find one of Norway’s largest collections of cultural and historical exhibits.

Following free time to discover Flåm and grab lunch, take to the waters for a cruise along two of Norway’s tranquil fjords, Aurlandsfjord and Nærøyfjord, the perfect way to experience both UNESCO-listed fjords, each surrounded by Alpine meadows, charming villages and cascading waterfalls. After this exciting excursion, a coach transfers you back to your hotel. This evening, you enjoy a final dinner with your group in Bergen.
