Introduction to Norway

Embark on a private gastronomic walking tour to immerse yourself in Norwegian cuisine as you explore the city. You'll learn about traditional dishes and visit the city's best eateries, trying delicacies such as cheese, cured meat, waffles and local beer along the way.

You'll be driven to the train station today to board the train to Bergen. This is a long but scenic ride, journeying across the south of the country, through mountains and forests and past numerous lakes. On arrival into Bergen you'll be met at the station and driven to your hotel.

Today, explore Bergen on foot with your private guide. You'll visit the historic fish market, home to a plethora of fresh fish and seafood from the surrounding fjords and oceans, wander the city's cobblestone lanes and marvel at the vibrantly hued wooden houses of Bryggen, converted from merchants' warehouses into artisan studios and shops.

Spend the day exploring the beautiful landscape of the fjords today. Board a boat to Sognefjord, 'king of the fjords' as Norway's longest and deepest. This docks in the pretty waterside village of Flåm, where you'll have some time to explore. Return to Bergen by taking the exciting Flåm Railway, a scenic journey which initially rises steeply out of the valley to the mountain plateau.

You'll be met at your hotel and driven to the airport in time for your onward flight. Your return flight will arrive the same day.
