Inspiration for your own tailor-made trip
Norway - Bergen
100% customisable for you
Today marks the start of your Norwegian escape, so head to the airport to catch your direct two-hour flight to Bergen. On arrival, take a transfer to your hotel for the next two nights, enjoying views of the historic harbour district.
Bergen is a colourful coastal city where cobbled streets meet misty fjords, fresh seafood fills the air and the historic Bryggen wharf – a UNESCO World Heritage site – lines the harbour beneath steep, storybook mountains.
Enjoy a full day immersing yourself in Bergen’s layered history and creative spirit with a private guided tour of the Hanseatic district of Bryggen, the bustling fish market and Bergen’s Old Town. Begin with a stroll through the old Hanseatic harbour, where the museum brings the 18th-century merchant ‘kontor’ (counting house) vividly to life. Nearby, Mariakirken (St. Mary’s Church), built in the 12th and 13th centuries, tells the story of the German merchants who once worshipped here.
As you explore the city streets, keep an eye out for striking works by Dolk, Norway’s most renowned graffiti artist, whose presence still marks Bergen’s walls. Continue to Troldhaugen, the former home of composer Edvard Grieg, now a museum celebrating the creator of Peer Gynt.
Finally, round out the day at the Leprosy Museum in St. George’s Hospital, an unexpectedly compelling site that chronicles Bergen’s role in the scientific discovery of the leprosy bacterium in 1873.
Today, leave Bergen behind for a couple of days’ R&R in Os, a charming seaside town where calm waters and wooden boathouses create a quaint, sleepy atmosphere.
Catch the one-hour ferry from Bergen to Os and head to your hotel, perfectly situated on the banks of the Bjornefjord. This peaceful spot is sure to entice a good night’s sleep, boasting atmospheric views over the garden, fjord and the Folgefonna glacier. What more could you want?
To really help you unwind, we’ve included entry to the hotel’s spa in your itinerary. You have the next two days to experience blissful bathing rituals and pure relaxation (lucky things).
Your short but sweet Norwegian adventure comes to a close today. Catch the short return ferry to Bergen and make your way to the airport, where you’ll hop on your two-hour flight back to the UK. Touch down on home turf feeling well rested and ready to step back into the day-to-day...
