Day 3

bergen, norway

Arrival: 08:00 - Departure: 18:00

Bergen, with its stunning scenery and vibrant cultural traditions, clings tenaciously to the hills surrounding its deeply indented fjord, making it unique among European cities. Once the capital of Norway, Bergen has always played a leading role in the nation's history. Nestled between mountains and bordered by water, the town center stretches between the harbor Bryggen and Torgalmenningen, the main square. Bergen’s most sensory spot is the Torget, at the foot of the harbor, where your nose will guide you to what's being sold. Here, you can select fish from open tanks and watch as traders net, weigh, and clean your chosen catch. Looking towards the right side of the harbor, you'll see the pointed gables of Bryggen’s roofline. This row of heavy-timbered medieval buildings, typical of Hanseatic architecture, has survived numerous disastrous fires since its construction in the 16th century. Today, Bryggen features restaurants, bars, and arts-and-crafts workshops. The Hanseatic Museum, housed in one of the best-preserved buildings, offers an intriguing glimpse into the commercial activity of those times. Starting from Torget or Bryggen, you can explore the maze of houses on the slopes of Mount Floien. A steep hike above these houses will reward you with increasingly spectacular views of Bergen and the fjord beyond. Welcoming Bergen offers numerous places for an evening beer or glass of wine. This beautiful and charming city boasts a dynamic cultural life and lively atmosphere, making it the perfect place to explore the Sognefjord and other fantastic Norwegian fjords.

narvik - norway

Arrival: 09:00 - Departure: 17:00

The city's tourism is centered around the natural wonders of the Nordic region, although it is not highly recommended to visit during the harshest winter months due to limited activity and reduced sunlight hours, which can lessen the area's appeal. The city held significant importance during WWII as it was seen as a strategic asset of great value to both armies.

The city's charm is enhanced by the colorful wooden houses in red, yellow, ochre, grey, and white along the riverbanks. The narrow, small streets in the old town create a cozy atmosphere. The Trondheim Cathedral, Nidarosdomen, built in 1070, is adorned with three rows of statues of bishops, saints, and kings on its massive facade, making it one of the most important gothic churches and the largest medieval structure in Scandinavia. The breathtaking view of Trondheim from the tower, accessible by numerous stairs, is well worth the climb.
