Loved the 3½ hour Mostraumen fjord cruise from Bergen. Perfect pace with informative commentary and nice snack bar selection. Great photos of ice formations and even saw seals! Not the cheapest but well worth it.

It was a highlight of my time in Bergen. The misty rain and fog gave the experience atmosphere. Enjoyed the narrative about places we saw and Grieg's music setting the mood. Would definitely cruise with you again! :)

The Flåm Railway

One of the world’s steepest train journeys. The Flåm Railway takes you from a bare mountain station at Myrdal, 867 meters up, down to the fjord village of Flåm in under 1 hour. In between: 20 tunnels, a waterfall, and farms clinging to slopes. It’s one of the steepest railways in the world with normal passenger service, and it opened in 1940. In this guide, we cover the route, stops, the best side to sit on, how to get there, and when the trip is at its best.

Our guide will show you what autumn (or fall) has to offer and help you decide whether it's the right season for you to discover Norway.
