Marvel at the hypnotic waterfalls cascading down the side of steep, snowcapped mountains, rivers winding through read more deep gorges; farms on the side of steep slopes, and views of Sognefjord, Norway’s longest fjord.

Only 28 of these stave churches now remain in Norway, and in Borgund, you’ll admire one of Norway’s best-preserved stave churches dating back to 1180. Stay two nights in Bergen, founded in 1070, where guided sightseeing features the main sights and a walking tour of Bryggen. From the magnificent scenery to the vibrant cities—including Oslo—this tour through Norway will delight all of your senses.
PLUS, your tour includes your choice of excursions in Bergen so you can plan your day your way.
