VENTURES IN WESTERN NORWAY
Getting there:
For a train ride, such as the one we took from Oslo to Bergen, we recommend www.raileurope.com. There you can check schedules, book reservations, and buy rail passes. Flying SAS from the US, you can go to either Oslo or Bergen via Copenhagen. www.flysas.com

Where to stay:
In Bergen, we stayed overnight at Radisson SAS Hotel Norge, which is within easy walking distance to Bryggen, the medieval Hanseatic wharf, as well as the famous Fish Market and the funicular that takes you to Mount Fløyen, from where you have a spectacular view of the city. www.radisson.com
