Embark on a journey to some of Norway's most enchanting coastal cities. This curated package offers an independent travel experience, blending the freedom of solo exploration with the peace of mind that the itinerary is carefully planned.

Your adventure begins in Bergen, a city with rich history and surrounded by mountains.

Next, your journey takes you to Ålesund, spread across several islands stretching out into the Atlantic Ocean. Ålesund is known for its Art Nouveau architecture, resulting from the reconstruction of the city after a devastating fire in 1904. With Ålesund as you base, you will embark on a fjord cruise through the UNESCO-listed Geirangerfjord, renowned for its beauty and cascading waterfalls. Witness sights of the Seven Sisters and the Suitor waterfalls, and marvel at the pristine natural beauty that surrounds you.

The journey continues to Åndalsnes from Ålesund. Experience the scenic wonders of Norway's landscape aboard the Rauma Railway. This train ride takes you through the breathtaking Rauma Valley, offering views of mountains, valleys and the famous Troll Wall, Europe's tallest vertical rock face.

Conclude your tour in Oslo, the capital of Norway. Oslo offers a rich cultural scene with museums like the Munch Museum. Stroll along Aker Brygge and explore the lush Frogner Park, home to the impressive Vigeland sculpture park.
