Local Living Tours & Trips in Norway

Visit Oslo's Viking Ship Museum and Munch Museum, then spend time in the villages of Flåm and Balestrand along Sognefjord. Walk through Bergen's historic fish market and Hanseatic Bryggen wharf, where traditional wooden buildings date back centuries. Optional visits to the Norwegian Glacier Museum in Fjaerland include Ivo Caprino's film on Jostedalen Glacier and close-up views of Supphellebreen glacier.

You'll stay in traditional rorbu cabins—those red fishermen's huts on stilts—in villages like Reine and get a real feel for Norway's fishing heritage. The Stockfish Museum in Å shows how cod fisheries have kept communities going from February to April for centuries, and there's the Lofotr Viking Museum too.

Bergen's fish market has small local restaurants serving fresh catches straight from the fjords, and you'll stay overnight in Loen, a village right on the water. There's a cable car here that's one of the steepest in the world, climbing over 1,000 meters with dinner included while you look out at glaciers.

Drive along the Atlantic Road near Kristiansund, crossing eight bridges as waves crash against the shore. The route includes a stop at Kvernes Stave Church from the 1300s, which has a 300-year-old ship model inside, then continues to Bergen where you can walk through the UNESCO-listed Bryggen dock district.

Sail Tromsø fjord on a traditional wooden boat, passing fish drying racks and remote coastal villages. Walk through Bergen's UNESCO-listed Bryggen district and check out the busy fish market where Hanseatic traders worked for centuries, with 7 nights in locally-run 3-star hotels.

Stay 13 nights in 3-4 star hotels from Oslo to Lillehammer while visiting local fish markets at Bergen's Bryggen harbour. Cruise the UNESCO-listed Nærøyfjord and Geirangerfjord, walk behind Steinsdalsfossen waterfall, and see the Maihaugen open-air museum after driving through Hallingdal Valley.
