With so much to see and do in Oslo we recommend that you plan to arrive a few days before the trip begins, so you can see as much of the city as possible. Your adventure begins with a important welcome meeting at 6 pm, where you'll meet your group leader and fellow travellers.
Afterwards, why not seek out some traditional Norwegian fare with the group. If you are going to be late please let your travel agent or hotel reception know. Ask reception or look for a note in the lobby for more information on where the meeting will take place. If you can't arrange a flight that will arrive in time, you may wish to arrive a day early so you're able to attend the welcome meeting.
We'll be happy to book additional accommodation for you subject to availability. This morning, follow your leader on an orientation walk in the city. Then enjoy some free time in Oslo. There's so much to get stuck into. Today you'll leave Oslo behind and take the train across the stunning countryside of the Fjell region to Bergen. No other train ride between two cities in Europe is at a higher altitude than this one, and few can match the views passing by your window.
Linking Norway's two main cities, this line takes in some spectacular scenery of lush valleys, idyllic villages, dramatic mountains and picturesque lakes as it crosses the Hardangervidda Plateau. As the trip is long and you'll arrive quite late into quirky city of Bergen, there won't be too much time to explore today don't worry, you'll have time to explore here tomorrow. There are some great seafood restaurants in town, so possibly venture out with the group for a bite to eat this evening.
