Day 3: We spent the night in Gudvangen so we could see the Viking Valley first thing in the morning. (Think of it as colonial Williamsburg, but in Norway with Viking style) We mostly just walked around on our own. They did offer an English tour with a guide, but we were cutting it close time-wise and the guide had a thick accent which made it a little challenging to understand.
Gudvangen is also really pretty.
We took a bus to Voss and then a train from Voss to Bergen.
When I originally started researching Norway, I saw in numerous places that you should not rent a car, but rather use their transportation system. All of our transportation was booked through Norway in a Nutshell. It was an incredibly smooth process and and worked out great. The trains were in large part very scenic.
When we arrived in Bergen we decided to go up in the funicular since it was a clear day. I’m so glad we did!!  |

Day 4: Our last full day in Norway involved just hanging around Bergen. We started with a visit to the Troll Museum and then wandered around town.

I am absolutely in love with Norway. Yes, it’s expensive and yes, the weather can be iffy, but I would say it’s a much better choice than Iceland. Iceland isn’t worth the hype, in my opinion, and Norway is severely underrated.
