In Bergen you’ll find Bryggen, listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage site; exceptional old houses; the vibrant fish and flower market; cable cars offering stunning views; great museums, and more.

You will have approximately 3 hours to enjoy this old fishing village before continuing trip to Trondheim. Around dinner time you will make a short stop at Molde.
