2.Oslo To Bergen Self-Guided Full Day Trip with Flåm Railway And Fjord Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 69 reviews · from $454

Travel from Oslo to Bergen in about 12 hours using Norway’s Bergen and Flåm railways, a fjord cruise from Flåm to Gudvangen, a mountain bus to Voss, and a final train to Bergen. You receive tickets and instructions, but must manage every connection yourself. Pack light, start early, and expect a full day.

“The views were awesome but our first train was delayed due to bad rail road conditions and it delayed everything else. I reached out to Easy Travel and they said we will miss the bus cause everything is booked so closely together. They said we should take a cab for a 2 hour drive! I asked other travelers that booked with other companies and they said their company assured them that the boat and the bus will wait. We decided to risk it and follow the other travelers which I’m glad we did or we would have missed out on the beautiful boat ride.”
