What's this trip about?

Oslo is the smallest Scandinavian capital city, but has some of the most interesting Viking history and traditional folklore to keep you entertained for weeks! Admire it all from the Norwegian open-air folk museum to the neoclassic facades neighboring unexpected vast, green pastures. Oslo is a smorgasbord of history, art, architecture and beauty. You'll also spend two nights in Sognefjord, home to Norway's longest and deepest fjord. Surround yourself with emerald green fjords, blue glaciers and mighty waterfalls in one of Europe's most picturesque regions. In Bergen you’ll discover a lively atmosphere, dripping with a maritime heritage. Look up and you’ll see the funicular zipping up the mountain, offering travelers an aerial view of this picturesque town. Nordic culture ranges from the immense fjords to the quaint towns and unique cultural points of interest. With completely majestic scenery you’ll leave Norway amazed.
