Exclusive roadtrip in the fjords

Day 1: Bergen

Arrival in Bergen which is Norway's second largest city and the only city in the world to be surrounded by 7 mountains and 7 fjords. Bergen offers the best starting point to start your adventure in the Norwegian fjords. The city is rich in attraction: stroll along the Hanseatic port of Bryggen— an UNESCO World Heritage site— and explore the vibrant fish and flower market, take the Fløibanen funicular to go up to Mont Fløyen (320 m above sea level), where you can enjoy panoramic views, go for a scenic hike, or relax with a coffee.  Don’t forget to visit Troldhaugen (the former home of Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg and his wife Nina Grieg), the Bergen Aquarium and Gamle Bergen (the open-air museum of old Bergen).
