For a maritime touch, visit the Fram Museum and Viking Ship Museum, both offering fascinating insights into Norway’s seafaring past. If you’re craving nature, take a ferry to the nearby islands or hike in the surrounding Nordmarka forest.

 
Good to Know:

Oslo is an all-season destination. Summers are mild and ideal for exploring on foot or by bike, while winter brings cosy cafés and opportunities for skiing just outside the city. The Oslo Pass offers free access to museums and public transport. Norway uses the Norwegian krone, and while tipping isn’t mandatory, it’s appreciated in restaurants and taxis for good service.

Bergen, the gateway to the fjords, is Norway’s second-largest city and a UNESCO World Heritage treasure. Perched on the west coast and embraced by seven mountains, this Nordic gem invites you to breathe in crisp mountain air and lose yourself in its storybook landscapes.

• Fløibanen Funicular: Glide from the city centre to Mount Fløyen, where sweeping views, woodland trails and a touch of magic await.

Culinary Culture:

Bergen’s gastronomy is steeped in the salt and spray of the North Sea. Taste the delicate sweetness of freshly netted king crab, the buttery richness of persetorsk and the tang of wild berries gathered from nearby hills. Let the scent of warm skillingsboller cinnamon buns guide you into a café, where strong coffee offers comfort against the drizzle, and New Nordic flavours turn the city’s bounty into art on a plate.

Dive Deeper:

Venture beyond Bergen to wander through the orchards and waterfalls of Hardangerfjord, cruise the mighty Sognefjord, or hike the trails of Vidden between Fløyen and Ulriken. For a cultural escape, visit Edvard Grieg’s lakeside home, Troldhaugen, where music drifts through the air.

Good to Know:

The currency is the Norwegian krone (NOK). Bergen is easily explored on foot, while the Fløibanen funicular and Ulriken cable car help with the hills. Pack a rain jacket, as this is one of Europe’s wettest cities. In May, the Bergen International Festival brings music, theatre and celebration to the streets.
