Luxury Norway touring holiday to Oslo, Bergen and Trondheim, three capital fjord cities of Norway, by air, rail and overnight ferry
This touring holiday by train and boat will take you to three of Norway’s most prominent cities, all of which have acted as the country’s capital at some point in its history. You start in Oslo, the current capital, which is known for its green spaces and museums. For a deep insight into Scandinavian history a visit to the Bygdøy Peninsula is essential: this area is home to five national museums including the Viking Ship Museum and the Norwegian Folk Museum. Each of these is well worth a visit, and the rest of the peninsula is a haven for nature lovers. The Akershus Fortress is another famous landmark- completed in the 1300s, this castle had a strategic location at the very end of the headland and is today open for guided tours. Perhaps the most enchanting of Oslo’s open spaces is the Frogner Park, home to the Vigeland Sculpture Park which features more than 200 sculptures and is one of the country’s top tourist attractions. From here you travel by train to Bergen. The Bergen Railway is a beautiful journey which runs across Europe’s highest mountain plateau, past deep fjords and green forests. Arrive into Bergen where you will spend the next 2 nights. Known as the city of the seven mountains, Bergen is a beautiful city which used to be the capital of Norway and is gateway to the fjords. It is possible to reach one of these mountains by funicular from the city centre, which awards spectacular views of Bergen and the surrounding landscape. Bergen is also known for the colourful façade of Bryggen with its picturesque wooden structures, now recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage site. For those more interested in the cultural attractions the Troldhaugen was the home of composer Edvard Grieg and houses a museum and a concert hall where his music is still played. On your final day here board the Hurtigruten service to Trondheim. This magical journey will see you travelling along Norway’s western coast, passing the country’s westernmost viewpoint before you dock in Alesund to visit some of this port town’s attractions. After two nights onboard wake up in Trondheim, the final city in this itinerary. Located on the Trondheimfjord and the third largest city in Norway, Trondheim is home to the world’s northernmost mediaeval cathedral, the Nidaros Cathedral. Formerly the site where Norwegian kings were crowned, it is today open to tourists. You may want to spend some of your time in Trondheim exploring the picturesque streets of Bakklandet, a small neighbourhood of painted wooden warehouses. For an excellent view of Trondheim and the fjord you can climb to the top of the Tyholttarnet, the tallest building in Norway. On your final day in Norway board the direct train service back to Oslo airport. During this journey of about seven hours, on the Dovre Railway, you cross several national parks. Keep an eye out for musk ox along the side of the tracks en route. Board your flight back to the UK from Oslo, arriving in the evening. Another option is to fly back direct from Trondheim to London Gatwick with Norwegian.

Day by day
Your holiday starts with your arrival in Oslo where you stay for three nights.
Oslo, the capital of Norway, sits on the country’s southern coast at the head of the Oslofjord. Oslo's connection with the sea is obvious and you will want to take a boat trip on the Oslofjord or over to Bygdøy. Bygdøy is home to five national museums: the Viking Ship Museum, the Fram Museum, the Norwegian Folk Museum, the Kon-Tiki Museum and the Norwegian Maritim Museum. The Fram Museum displays the strongest wooden ship ever built which still holds the record for sailing the farthest north and farthest south. It is possible to board the ship and see how the crew and their dogs managed to survive in the coldest and most dangerous places on earth. There are also exhibitions on the Arctic and Northwest passage. The Viking Ship Museum displays finds from four different Viking burial sites around the Oslofjord, whilst the Norwegian Folk Museum is an open-air attraction showcasing the diverse wooden architecture and history of the country and its traditions. Another major attraction is Akershus Castle Fortress. Completed during the 14th century, this mediaeval castle had a strategical location at the very end of the headland and withstood a number of sieges throughout the ages. Guided tours of the fortress are available during the summer. A must is the Munch museum and a stroll on the sloping roof of the Opera House. As well as museums, Oslo is known for its green spaces, the most famous of which is the Frogner Park. Within this area is the Vigeland Sculpture Park, featuring more than 200 sculptures in bronze, granite and iron and one of Norway’s top tourist attractions. Housed in some beautiful gardens of its own, the Royal Palace is the official seat of the current Norwegian King and Queen. Take a tour of the palace during the summer or stop by to see the changing of the guard at 13:30.
This morning board the direct train to Bergen, also known as the Bergen Railway. Leaving the capital, the farms dotted amongst the hills will become less and less frequent as you head further west. You will skirt along the northern shore of Lake Ustevtn, which can be frozen for three quarters of the year, before passing through Finse, the highest railway station in Norway. The train then passes Myrdal, the starting station of the famous Flåm Railway. Be sure to keep an eye out for incredible views down a precipice into Flåmsdal and Sognefjord. From here you ascend steeply along the tree line, soon following a spectacular canyon. Travel alongside the clear waters of the River Vossa before entering the Ulriken Tunnel, the final landmark before your arrival into Bergen. After travelling across the highest mountain plateau in Europe check in to your hotel for two nights.
Bergen is the second largest city in Norway and was the capital throughout some of the country’s most influential periods. One of your days here should start with a visit to the iconic Bryggen wharf, first established in the 14th century and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its colourful buildings today house a small museum, shops and restaurants. Bergen is known as the city of the seven mountains, the most easily accessible of which is Fløyen, which can be reached by funicular from the city centre and awards spectacular views of the city and surrounding area. It is possible to take the funicular back, or you may want to hike back down at your leisure. To fully appreciate the culture and traditions of Bergen, you should take the time to visit the Bergen Fish Market. Bergen has the busiest seaport in the country and the market offers an abundance of fish, shellfish, fruit and vegetables. Cultural attractions include the Troldhaugen, the former home of Edvard Grieg and today host to a museum about his life and works as well as a concert hall where you can hear his music performed. Its location in the fjords also makes Bergen an excellent base from which to explore more by boat, and there are many options ranging from a quick trip to an all-day experience.
On your final day in Bergen you have most the day free to continue your exploration of the Gateway to the Fjords before you board the Hurtigruten service to Trondheim which leaves from Bergen at 21.30 hrs. Start by sailing past the impressive fjords and coastal landscape as you head steadily northwards. Early the next morning you will pass the Nordfjord before getting the opportunity to see Vestkapp, Norway’s westernmost viewing point. Dock for a short while in Ålesund, before the boat ship continues on a day-time cruise of the Geirangerfjord (This depends on the ship. Otherwise, you have the day at leisure until 20.00 hrs when it departs for Trondheim).
You arrive in Trondheim at 10.00 hrs. If you would like us to arrange an early check-in then please ask us to arrange one or leave your bags at the hotel and start to acquaint yourself with Norway’s first capital city, Trondheim. You stay here for two nights.
Trondheim lies on the southern shore of the Trondheimfjord and has played a significant role in Norwegian history. As the country’s first capital city, it was the site where Norwegian kings were crowned for over 700 years, specifically in the Nidaros Cathedral. We highly recommend taking a visit to this beautiful building, which is the world’s northernmost mediaeval cathedral and started construction in 1070. South of this is the striking Archbishop’s Palace Museum, which offers an insight into the 1000-year history of the cathedral and its diocese. You will also find here the Royal Regalia, including the 200-year-old Crown of Norway. For a glimpse of the more rustic side of Norwegian life, a visit to the Trøndelag Folk Museum is essential: dominated by the ruins of Sverresborg castle, this outdoor museum consists eighty historic buildings giving information about folk culture as well as rural monuments and the Haltdalen stave church, which dates back to 1170. Another picturesque area of the city is Bakklandet, a small neighbourhood of painted wooden warehouses home to galleries, cafes and restaurants.
Today you can either fly back from Trondheim to London Gatwick with Norwegian or there is the Dovre Railway which covers the 497 kms from Trondheim to Oslo in about 7 hours. From Oslo you can take an early evening flight to London.
Absolutely loved it. Bespoke sense of the trip is very good. Very pleasant and efficient service.Mrs H, Sep 2023

About Oslo and Oslofjord
Norway's capital city, Oslo, nestles at the end of the Oslofjord surrounded by hills and islands. Oslo blends skilfully tradition and modernity. The iconic Oslo Opera House on the waterfront sits a short distance from the Akershus fortress and the Old Town Hall dating from 1641 is a stroll away from the Akrobaten pedestrian bridge, a near-futuristic construction of steel and glass. Much of Oslo is within walking distance from the centre and you can explore happily on foot for much of your stay. You'll notice that cars are very much absent from the centre and that trams are a very easy way of reaching places on the outskirts. A fast train serves the airport and there are numerous ferries from the harbour in front of the town hall that take you to the islands in the fjord and to historic villages along the coast.
Highlights of Oslo
Waterfront, Opera House, Akershus Fortress, Norwegian Resistance Museum, Frogner Park, Bydoy and its museums, Oslo city museum, Fjord cruise
Cultural highlights of Oslo
Munch museum, National museum, Viking Ship Museum, Kon-Tiki Museum, Astrup Fearnley Museum

About Vestlandet and Norway's fjordland
Vestlandet contains many of the archetypal sites the visitor associates with Norway: spectacular fjords, colourful fishing ports, stave churches and dramatic panoramas. Vestlandet is a long, thin region in the west of the country, bordering the North Sea and interspersed by jagged inlets from the sea into the mountainous interior: the fjords including Sognefjorden, Geirangerfjord, Lysefjorden, Hardangerfjorden and Eidfjord. Bergen is the outstanding jewel as a town in this region, a World Heritage City, with ancient history, attractive buildings, world-class museums and superb restaurants. Sognefjord is Norway’s longest and deepest fjord and is composed of five large arms with fingers, of which Naeroyfjorden is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. To complement the dramatic natural scenery, there are ample man-made delights in the area too, with charming villages, waterfronts, well-preserved Viking heritage sites and local foodie specialities. You can witness the drama of the Sognefjord by boat from Bergen to Flam on a journey of about five hours. Just north and south of the innermost reaches of the Sognefjord are the outstanding stave churches of Borgund, unchanged since the Middle Ages, and Urnes, the oldest stave church in Norway. The Geirangerfjord is one of the best-known and justifiably so as it contains ten miles of dramatic natural beauty with numerous waterfalls tumbling down the vertical cliff face. The Hardangerfjord runs from the North Sea to the Hardangervidda Plateau and offers a wealth of attractive scenery and pretty towns, with numerous activities. There are also apple orchards and farmland, hiking and cycling. Towards the north of the region is the coastal town of Alesund, whose centre consists mainly of striking Art Nouveau buildings, constructed in the early 20th Century after a fire destroyed most of the old town centre.
Highlights of Vestlandet
Vestlandet is fjord country and the most well-known and spectactular are Sognefjorden, the Geirangerfjord, Lysefjorden, Hardangerfjorden and Eidfjord. The seafaring cities and ports of Bergen and Alesund offer a mixture of cultural, food and sightseeing possibilities. Bergen has the UNESCO World Heritage site of Bryggen with museum, shops, galleries and restaurants. There is the KODE museum of art and design and at Troldhaugen you can visit the home of Edvard Grieg. The region is also home to the Flam railway and cable cars take you to mountain tops. Alesund is renowned as an Art Deco town after a fire in 1904 destroyed the old town. From here it is the gateway to the Geirangerfjord and the Trollstigen mountain road. Combine land and water sports as well as spectacular scenery in Vestlandet. You can also visit glaciers in this region and take the Atlantic Road for coastal vistas.
