  • Days 1-2

    Oslo

    Begin your Norway journey in the capital. Get your rental car at Gardermoen airport in the afternoon to avoid morning traffic. On your first full day, visit Frogner Park early before the crowds arrive and check out the new Munch Museum. You can park in the underground garage near the Opera House and walk around the center since parking downtown is limited and costly.

    
  • Days 3-4

    Geilo and Flåm

    Take a 3.5-hour drive through Hallingdal Valley to Geilo, a scenic mountain village. The next day, head to Flåm for a Nærøyfjord cruise. Book an afternoon trip in summer since morning fog usually clears by then, giving you better views of the fjord.

    
  • Days 5-6

    Norheimsund

    After riding the Flåmsbana railway (sit on the right for the best waterfall views), drive to Norheimsund. Take a walk behind Steinsdalsfossen waterfall but bring a light raincoat and wear shoes with good grip since the path can get slippery.

    
  • Days 7-8

    Bergen

    It's a 1.5-hour drive to Bergen. Take the Fløibanen funicular early at 7:30 AM to skip the lines. Visit the UNESCO-listed Bryggen wharf later when the light is perfect for photos. Stop by the fish market for lunch. It's expensive but the local fish soup is worth trying.

    
  • Days 9-10

    Stryn Area

    Travel north to glacier country. For Jostedalsbreen Glacier visits, book a guide beforehand since you can't hike alone on the ice. Pack warm clothes even in summer. It can be 10-15°F cooler near the glacier than in town.

    
  • Days 11-12

    Geiranger and Lillehammer

    Take a morning Geirangerfjord cruise to see the Seven Sisters waterfall in good light. Drive the Eagle Road for amazing views but watch out for sharp turns and narrow roads. Continue to Lillehammer. Add extra time in winter for mountain driving.

    
  • Days 13-14

    Return to Oslo

    Drive back through Hamar. The trip takes about 2 hours, but plan for 3-4 hours to handle the rental car return and airport procedures.

  • Days 7-8

    Norwegian Fjords

    Take the scenic Flåm Railway, which climbs 2,800 feet through stunning landscapes. A recent visitor recommends: "Sit on the right side going up for best waterfall views." Visit Sognefjord and Geirangerfjord for incredible views. "The optional kayaking is worth it - you get much closer to the waterfalls than on the big boats," notes one traveler.

  • Days 9-10

    Central Norway

    Stop at the 12th-century Lom Stave Church on your way to Lillehammer. One visitor notes: "The open-air museum at Maihaugen gives great insight into Norwegian life - allow at least 2 hours." Make time for the Olympics site to learn about winter sports culture.

  • Day 11

    Oslo

    Spend a full day in Norway's capital. Start at Vigeland Sculpture Park when it opens at 7 AM for crowd-free photos. A helpful tip from a visitor: "The Viking Ship Museum gets packed by 11 AM. Book timed entry tickets online and arrive 15 minutes before opening."

  • Days 12-14

    Stockholm

    Your trip ends in Sweden's capital. Book ahead for the Vasa Museum, home to a preserved 17th-century warship. One visitor suggests: "The Stockholm Pass seems expensive but pays off if you visit 3+ attractions daily." Visit Gamla Stan early morning or evening after cruise ships leave for the best experience.
