Hotel Reviews
Hotel Norge by Scandic
Bergen

Oh my word we loved this nice hotel with a view of the Ferris wheel and garden and the location was fantastic- we walked everywhere and saw so much! We walked to the fish market and wharf and around the beautiful lake and gardens as well as to the floyen funicular which is a must! But- one of my favorite things about this hotel is the breakfast buffet, 3 rooms of food- it was spectacular! I would stay here over and over again, and the rooms were spacious too!

Nice day trip, we hiked to the waterfall! Hiked through pastures of sheep, was delightful. Steep hills at times during hike that were good workout for cardio (not leisurely easy stroll at times)

OMG the highlight of the entire trip! We did the hidden trail tour with guide that included canoeing and although it was longer we did not see ONE other person on the hike! We joined the main trail for last mile and that was a steady stream of people so less enjoyable. The hike was challenging at a few points (scrambling up rocks) and was about 6 hrs total but the VIEW! One of top 3 hikes in world that we have ever done
