Beautiful Two Weeks in Norway
Norway

Jun 1 - Jun 15, 2026
It was great to do city things in Oslo- jazz club, the opera and also see amazing scenery in the rest of Norway. Sailing through the fjords was a great way to relax while seeing unique landscape. It took a bit of digging to find things to do in Flam-- but the sauna on the fjord was great as was the nearby farm which served a delicious lunch. The mini bus tour to the outskirts of Flam was very worthwhile. Bergen is crowded with people off the cruise ships. Ausland is lovely - it doesn't take much time to see but is a worthwhile stop. The Gehringer fjord should not be missed. And we loved Trondheim- great historic sights and a lovely town. We were there in June and it was cool and rained everyday for a part of the day. Constant switching from sun to clouds and back again. Dress accordingly.
Hotel Reviews
Hotel is fine. Not the best in town.
We came to this town just to stay in the hotel. All rooms have balconies and we were on the 8th floor and the view was amazing - we saw the town with fjords on either side. Be aware the only place to eat dinner is in their expensive restaurant.
You can take this boat for more than a week but we just did one night as we are not cruise fans. The boat is lovely and there were many seating/view areas that were not crowded. The cabin was bigger than we expected. Food was fine but I wouldn't want to eat it for a week. The check in could be much improved. We were told to wait in line for half an hour to get our dinner seating assignment, only to find out there was no reserved seating for that night, which was our only night. We should have been told we did not need to go on the line. When we did go to dinner there was a wait but they don't put people on a list which is ridiculous.
Loved this hotel. Beautiful inside and perfect location. Definitely recommend.
Hotel is in a very busy part of town. If you want to be in tourist central then it is a good location. Hotel is modern but has historic facade so it blends in.
Slightly out of the tourist area but a nice neighborhood. We had a huge window facing the water which really made the stay special.
Great place to stay in this lovely city.
Great location near Munch museum and Opera House. Really nice size room , Exceptional breakfast with omlette station.
Activity Review
Since Flam is basically a town made for cruise ship tourists it was great to see a more authentic part of the area. The guide was excellent. We definitely recommend this.
