We had a wonderful visit to the city of Bergen last week. We decided to go to Bergen because we wanted to do the Norway in a Nutshell tour and because Bergen is one of the top cities in Norway to visit. We flew from Trondheim to Bergen, taking about 1 hour to get there. When we arrived in Bergen, we went to the city centre and bought our tickets for Norway in a Nutshell at the tourist info centre.
We found our way to the hotel, which was a bit out of the way, and therefore more budget friendly, and then we took the funicular up to the Mount Floyen. View Gallery #1 here. (Note: because we have such a large volume of pictures, we are using a different site to host our galleries for the Bergen trip. Use the slideshow function or ‘next’/'previous’ arrows to view photos).
The next day, we went on the Norway in a Nutshell Tour, Bergen Round Trip. We caught a train at 8:30 in the morning and returned to Bergen at about 9:00 at night. We went to Myrdal, Voss, the Flam Railway, on a fjord cruise, and took a bus and train back to Bergen. It was breathtaking – especially the Flam Railway and the fjord tour. View Gallery #2 here.
On our last day in Bergen, we explored the wharf, the fish market, took a harbour cruise, and enjoyed walking around this historic town. See gallery # 3 here.
What wonderful pictures! I feel like I had my own “Norway in a Nutshell” trip! I truly believe they are the most beautiful mountains/fjord pictures I’ve ever seen. How lucky you both are to be in such a beautiful place, and with enough time to get out and see it all. Keep those pictures coming in!
Very Nice, great pics. Love the Fjords, Funny name?
Hi again, looking at the fish market I would say i would pass on the Whale Meat. The color of it , did you try anything?
