Visiting the World's Happiest Country - Norway Travel Tips

Bergen

You can’t visit Oslo and assume you’ve “done” Norway. Take the time and travel west to Bergen, in the Fjord Norway region. If you’re thinking about taking the train, you can watch the whole journey beforehand — it was filmed by NRK, Norway’s public broadcaster, and the program’s available as Bergensbanen minutt for minutt on DVD, YouTube, and Netflix (alternatively dubbed Slow TV: Train Ride from Bergen to Oslo). It’ll prepare you for all the tunnels — and for the jaw-dropping, surreal views, too.
