Itinerary
- Day 1: Arrival in Oslo, Norway
Your private driver meets you on arrival and transfers you straight to your hotel, so there’s no need to worry about public transport or directions on your first day. This is where your Oslo to Bergen Tour officially begins, and settling in early gives you time to adjust before the busier days ahead.
Spend the evening at a relaxed pace, exploring the city center on foot and getting a first feel for Scandinavian life. A short walk along the harbor or a coffee at a local café is a good way to ease into the trip before the full itinerary kicks in tomorrow.
Highlights: Private airport transfer, Oslo city stroll, introduction to Norwegian culture, scenic views, comfortable hotel check-in.

- Day 3: The Scenic Rail Journey to Bergen
This leg is the heart of the Oslo to Bergen Tour — a train ride through dramatic valleys, sparkling lakes, and snow-capped peaks that has been ranked among the world’s most scenic rail journeys. Wide windows and frequent slow-downs at the best viewpoints make it easy to take in the changing landscape as the train climbs across the mountain plateau.
A private transfer takes you to your Bergen hotel on arrival, so there’s no scrambling for taxis after a full day of travel. By evening, you’ll have time to settle in and get your bearings in Norway’s second city before sightseeing begins the next morning.
Highlights: Oslo-Bergen scenic train, Norwegian fjords, lakes, mountains, picturesque villages, private hotel transfer, stunning landscapes of Norway.

The day finishes at the local fish market, where you can sample fresh seafood and browse stalls selling local produce and crafts. Free time afterward is well spent riding the Fløibanen funicular for panoramic views over the city and surrounding fjords.
