About the trip

This week-long Norwegian tour by Riviera Travel takes you from the capital city of Oslo westward to Bergen, merging natural wonders with historic and cultural insights. In Oslo, an expert guide leads a small group through Vigeland Sculpture Park, the Kon-Tiki and Fram museums, and landmarks such as the Royal Palace and Ibsen Museum. An afternoon at leisure offers further independent exploration, aided by an Oslo Pass.

The route includes Telemark’s WWII sites with a presentation on the sabotage of the heavy water plant at Rjukan and a visit to Heddal, home to the country’s largest stave church dating from the 13th century. The following days feature two well-regarded train journeys: the Bergen Railway, crossing varied landscapes including the Hardangervidda plateau; and the Flåm Railway, descending through tunnels and past waterfalls to the Naerøyfjord, a UNESCO-listed fjord explored further by ferry.

Time in Bergen offers a walking tour of its UNESCO-listed Bryggen wharf and a ride up Mount Fløyen for panoramic views of fjords and mountains. An evening visit to Magic Ice, a sub-zero gallery carved from ice, adds an unusual contrast. The tour ends with a return transfer to Bergen airport.
