Bergen
You'll be driven to the train station today to board the train to Bergen. This is a long but scenic ride across the south of the country, through mountains and forests and past glittering lakes. On arrival in Bergen, you'll be met at the station and driven to your hotel.
Bergen
Today, explore Bergen on foot with your private guide. You'll visit the historic fish market, home to a variety of fresh seafood from the surrounding fjords and oceans.

Bergen
Your driver will take you to the airport in time for your flight to Stockholm. Upon arrival in Stockholm, you'll be met at the airport and driven to your centrally located hotel.

Gothenburg
Spend today at your own leisure exploring the city. We recommend heading to Gustav Adolfs torg, a town square right in the heart of Gothenburg.

On your own, board a train that travels through Malmö and across the Øresund Bridge to Denmark. Upon arrival in Copenhagen, make your way to your hotel. Once you've settled in, join your small group for a two-and-a-half-hour bike tour that will take you by many of the city’s major landmarks.
