Bergen, Norway
Bergen is known as the gateway to the fjords but you must spend a few days
exploring this seaside city and uncover its many treasures. Today visit Mount
Fløyen for panoramic views of the surrounding area, check out the colourful fish

Flåm, Norway
The Søgnefjord is known as the King of the Fjords because it is the longest and
deepest. From May 1st to September 30th you can take the 5½ hour journey to Flåm
along the Søgnefjord from Bergen to Flåm on the ferry express boat. Take this
slightly slower option if you like to relax and watch the scenery go by in
comfort.

Oslo, Norway
Today you take to the rails and begin the journey east to Oslo. If you’re
organised you could also add in a trip to the Stegastein Viewpoint prior to your
train departure from Flåm. The panoramic views from the lookout give another
perspective of this incredible landscape. Take the bus to Stegastein at 10:00am
which gets you back to Flåm in plenty of time for the 12.20pm departure to
Myrdal on the Flåm railway.

Gothenburg, Sweden
Gothenburg is a compact city, easy to explore on foot, bike or using the
efficient tram system. But I suggest you get your bearings by taking a paddan
boat tour through the city’s canal system and out into the working harbour. On a
sunny day you must take a trip out to the archipelago and visit some of the
islands by ferry. Many of the islands are car free and perfect for exploring on
foot. More about tripping the archipelago in my Gothenburg guide.

Copenhagen, Denmark
Wonderful Copenhagen is a relaxed and friendly city that is easy to explore on
foot. But you really should hire a bike and do a tour of the city on Denmark’s
favourite mode of transport. We did it and you can cover all the major sites
easily in a day, stopping to take in the views and atmosphere of the beautiful
Danish capital.
