5 DAYS
Bergen is one of northern Europe's most popular short-break trips, with good reason.
While there's more than enough to keep you occupied for five days in Bergen itself, the
city's hinterland might entice you to consider a two-night excursion to see what all the fuss
is about out in the fjords.
Bergen
is the reason you came here and you've a busy time ahead of you if you hope to
pack it all into two very full days of museums, wining and dining, shopping and simply
wandering the postcard-perfect streets.
Although ranging beyond Bergen can be done using public transport, we recommend
renting a car and driving on your third day through
Norheimsund
, the peaceful gateway to
the stirring panoramas of the Hardangerfjord network. Pause in
Øystese
long enough to
enjoy an unlikely contemporary art fix, then overnight in dramatic
Eidfjord
. The next
morning, after a detour to
Kjeåsen Farm
, drive to gorgeous
Ulvik
for extraordinary
views, stop for lunch in
Voss
, then drive to
Stalheim
for more spectacular views. Go for a
hike in the morning, then drive back to
Bergen
in time for your flight home.
