Explore Bergen, Fjords & Waterfalls - 5 Days

This five-day itinerary hits key summer spots using various means of transportation for a true Nordic adventure. You'll start off in Bergen, the country's second largest city, and explore the streets and surrounding mountains on your own and with a local guide. From here, take two day-trips involving a scenic train ride, a ferry through the longest fjord in Norway, and a fjord cruise to nearby waterfalls—all while returning to Bergen each night to enjoy its restaurants and nightlife.

There is perhaps no place on Earth that can rival the beauty of Norway's fjords—as if Odin himself carved out mountains, splattered waterfalls on his canvas, and then flooded his own work into the Norwegian Sea. Each spot will seem more beautiful than the next...so where do you choose to start?

If you're in Norway and you've got four wheels, throw away your guidebook. You're going to want to visit towns you can't pronounce, places your friends don't know exist, and vistas you won't find on Instagram. With plenty of time — driving through mountains and fjords, hopping on ferries, and navigating single-lane roads is never quick — the entire country should be on your list. Here are five specialist-recommended ideas for an incredible road trip through Norway.

Radisson RED Hotel, Oslo Airport

Great rooms so close to the airport. Made our one night layover perfect before starting home. The restaurant seemed very understaffed at dinner leading to some ppl getting upset. We luckily didn’t have anywhere else to be so no issue for us. Breakfast was great.

Loved staying at the snow hotel for the experience! Once in a lifetime! Wish there had been a little more explanation at check in about what to expect but they did have a tour and explanation for everyone later in the day. They do have a lounge that was very private if you can’t get sleep in the snow hotel you can go there to get warm or more comfortable

From the moment we entered reception we were not happy. We were trying to book a luxury trip to Norway and this was clearly a budget hotel. Not at all what we wanted. And our first room was a dungeon looking at the side of the adjoining building. kimkim customer service was able to get us an upgraded room that was much better but we still found NOTHING to like about this place. Terrible way to start our trip to Norway.

One of our top 3 experiences in Norway. Boy we loved this. It is located in a very scenic spot. They had a very friendly and helpful staff but more importantly some 170 dogs! And we got plenty of time to play with them. And the provided lunch was very good and delivered in a very nice traditional building.

We are conflicted on this. The weather was far less than optimal- it was snowing. So we ended up driving around in a van for 3 hours basically doing nothing. For any lights "hunt" the issue is what to do when the weather is just not cooperating. Like no chance of seeing lights.

This was a great trip. First of all, I'm sure we were lucky by having sunny or "almost sunny" weather for 7 days. My husband and I were thrilled with Anna's responsiveness and ability to modify our trip as a few unforeseen things such as a strike at KLM for baggage handling that changed our inbound flight. It really is worth it to have local expertise that can arrange hotels and transport in Norway. Also, it is important that you do your own research before reaching out to KimKim so that they can know what exactly you want to see and where to go. Norway is beautiful, the people are friendly, and the accommodations and transport are excellent. Again, the experience using KimKim, especially with Anna, was excellent. Bergen was lovely, Balestrand and Flåm railway breathtaking, Oslo is a fascinating city. Our guide, Stig, in Oslo, took us for an unbeatable off the main path tour - great! So much to see - we hope to go back to see even more of Norway.
Go and see the fjords for yourself!
