Today’s highlight is the wonderful city of Bergen. Following a hearty breakfast, take a morning departure to Bergen on another superb boat ride through the Norwegian fjords. After taking in magical waterfalls and scenic landscapes, you’ll be met by a tour guide for the next chapter of your Norwegian fjords adventure.
You will be accompanied on a leisurely walk to your central Bergen hotel, before a captivating 3-hour walking tour in the afternoon. As the capital of Western Norway, many refer to the city as “the gate to the realm of the Norwegian fjords”.
Highlights of the private tour include medieval Hansa Bryggen (The German Wharf), the beautifully preserved Bergen fortress and the famous local fish market. Make your way through the unique narrow streets and take a stop at the city park where you’ll be surrounded by charming greenery.
Along the way you’ll ‘meet and greet’ the statues of famous faces from Norwegian culture – including world-famous composer Edvard Grieg, author Henrik Ibsen and philosopher Ludvig Holberg. There’s even an optional 3-hour tour by Tesla car to the Edvard Greig museum.
After the main tour, you’ll be taken on a spectacular funicular ride to the top of mount Fløien – one of seven striking mountains surrounding the city of Bergen. On top of the world – or so it may seem – you can take in glorious views over the city. A truly outstanding addition to your visit to the Norwegian fjords.
