Additional information

Walk the seafaring lanes of Norway’s Hanseatic city and join a guided walking tour through Bryggen’s crooked timber warehouses, a UNESCO-listed relic of trade and tide. Painted gables and wood-framed passages tell of merchants, cod, and centuries of maritime exchange.

At Torget’s bustling fish market, stalls brim with prawns, salmon, and king crab. Thread cobbled lanes scented with salt air and tarred wood as your guide illuminates Bergen’s role in the Bryggen Hanseatic Wharf network.

Glide from the city centre to high ground as you ride the Fløibanen funicular through pines to the viewing terrace on Mount Fløyen. From here, panoramic views over Bergen sweep across tiled roofs, harbour basins, and the islands scattered along the coast.

Stroll easy ridge paths or relax with a coffee as you trace ships threading the fjord below and the sun skimming distant peaks. This optional experience is at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Use the pass to set your own pace during your time in Oslo—dip into world-class galleries, explore waterfront promenades, and thread through elegant neighborhoods without worrying about tickets or zones.

Trace a gripping chapter of resistance history in Rjukan, where saboteurs—remembered as the Heroes of Telemark—thwarted Nazi nuclear ambitions at the Vemork heavy-water plant. Stark valleys and industrial relics set the scene for tales of courage, ingenuity, and perilous winter raids.

Shift from wartime grit to medieval artistry at Heddal Stave Church, Norway’s largest stave church. Admire layered roofs, tar-darkened timbers, and runic motifs that showcase 13th-century timber architecture shaped by Norse craft and Christian symbolism.

Ride the mountains on the storied line that invites you to ride the Oslo–Bergen Railway, Europe’s highest line between two cities at 1,222 metres. Watch spruce forests thin into wind-brushed moorland as the carriages crest the Hardangervidda plateau, where tarns mirror big skies and lingering snowfields.

Gliding past lakes, rivers, and russet tundra, the route frames Norway’s interior with cinematic clarity—wide horizons, weather-etched rocks, and scattered cabins that speak of life lived close to the elements.

Descend from highland to fjord on a marvel of engineering as you ride the Flåm Railway, one of the world’s steepest standard-gauge lines. Tunnels bore through sheer rock while waterfalls lace cliffs, opening to Aurlandsfjord and the little village of Flåm.

Board a fjord boat to cruise the UNESCO-listed Nærøyfjord, a narrows framed by sheer cliffs and waterfalls. Glacially carved walls plunge to jade water, sea eagles wheel overhead, and farmsteads perch improbably on emerald ledges.

Return along the storied shoreline on a scenic drive along Hardangerfjord, the “Queen of Fjords,” where orchards, slate-roofed farms, and mirror-calm water reflect snow-capped ridges and fast-changing Nordic skies.
