10 Days in Norway, incl. Harstad and Lofoten Islands
A 10-day self-guided route crosses Vesterålen and Lofoten archipelagos from Harstad. You'll stay in traditional fisherman rorbus at Reine with alpine peaks around you, join a whale safari in Andenes, and have the freedom to move between islands at your own pace through remote fishing villages.
- Days 1-2
Harstad and Vesterålen
Start by getting your rental car at Harstad/Narvik airport (EVE). Try to arrive in early afternoon so you can get comfortable with driving while it's still light out. Stay in Harstad for your first two nights - it's perfectly positioned in the northern lights belt. You can take day trips north to see the Vesterålen Islands where you'll find stunning mountain scenery and quiet beaches.
- Days 3-4
Andenes and Whale Watching
Move on to Andenes at the top of Andøya Island. This area is one of the best places in Norway to see whales with a 95% chance of spotting them. Take a 2-4 hour whale safari but pack warm clothes no matter the season. The Arctic wind gets pretty cold out on the water. The drive there on Road 7698/7702/82 gives you great ocean views and you might spot seals and eagles along the way.
- Days 5-6
Reine
Take the ferry from Melbu to Fiskebøl to reach the Lofoten Islands. Try to avoid peak times in summer when lines get long. Book a traditional fisherman's rorbu in Reine well ahead of time. These water cabins on stilts are very popular. Visit the fishing villages of Å and Henningsvær where you'll see red cabins set against rocky mountain peaks.
- Days 7-8
Svolvær
Stay in Svolvær next. It's the main town in Lofoten. Stop at the Lofotr Viking Museum on your way but get there before 10 AM to avoid the crowds. If you like being active try kayaking from Svolvær. The water is usually calmest early in the morning which is good for beginners.
- Days 9-10
Return to Harstad
On your way back visit the Lofoten War Museum in Svolvær to learn about the area's WWII history. Leave extra time for the drive back to the airport. You'll probably want to stop for photos along the way.
9 Days in Norway, incl. Oslo and Bergen
The nine-day route takes in Geirangerfjord, Briksdal Glacier, and Sognefjord. Stays in Flam, Balestrand, and Geiranger feature traditional Norwegian dining and scenic cruises. Viking culture comes alive at Ægir Brewery.
- Days 1-2
Oslo:
Arrive at Oslo Airport Gardermoen and take the Airport Express train to Oslo Central Station. It's your best option during rush hour, beating taxi times consistently. Your first afternoon is perfect for exploring the walkable city center. Start day two early at Frogner Park (Vigeland Park) to beat the tour buses that arrive around 10 AM. Get the 24-hour Oslo Pass for free public transport and museum entry. Visit the Norwegian Folk Museum and Fram Museum but plan your route since they're on opposite sides of the peninsula.
- Day 3
Oslo to Flåm:
Book window seats on the right side of the Oslo-Myrdal-Flåm railway for the best fjord views. Consider motion sickness pills for the 20 steep tunnels on the Flåm Railway. Visit Ægir Brewery for their Viking plank dinner but arrive early their house-brewed beer often runs out by evening.
- Days 4-5
Flåm to Balestrand & Geiranger:
Take the afternoon express boat to Balestrand, sitting on the upper deck for the best Sognefjord views. Head to Briksdal Glacier early on day 5 before the crowds arrive. The viewpoint walk takes about 45 minutes on rough terrain so wear shoes with good grip.
- Day 6
Geiranger:
Start your morning in Geiranger before the day-trippers arrive. The walk to Flydalsjuvet viewpoint is steep but rewards you with incredible views of cruise ships entering the fjord. Take the afternoon Hurtigruten cruise to Ålesund for amazing views of the UNESCO-listed Geirangerfjord.
- Day 7
Ålesund to Bergen:
Walk through Ålesund's Art Nouveau streets in the morning. Climb the 418 steps to Aksla viewpoint early for the best city views. Catch your afternoon flight to Bergen and pick a window seat for aerial fjord views.
- Days 8-9
Bergen:
Visit Bryggen wharf before 9 AM to see the iconic wooden buildings without crowds. Buy Fløibanen funicular tickets online and go during early morning or dinner time to avoid long lines. A previous visitor shared: "The Fish Market is interesting but overpriced for tourists. Walk 10 minutes to the local indoor fish market for better value and more authentic atmosphere."
9 Day Northern Norway Itinerary, incl. Oslo and Tromsø
A 9-day route spans 5 Norwegian cities, featuring 3 days in the Lofoten archipelago. Highlights include hiking Linken Peak, exploring Bymarka forest reserve, visiting Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim, and e-biking through Tromsø. 8 hotel nights and scenic train journeys included.
- Days 1-2
Oslo and Train to Trondheim
Start in Oslo before taking the scenic train to Trondheim (7 hours). A recent visitor suggests: "The train ride offers incredible views of Norway's countryside - try to get a window seat on the left side for the best vistas." Pack light since many stations don't have elevators.
- Days 2-3
Trondheim Exploration
Give yourself two days to explore Norway's first capital. Visit Nidaros Cathedral early at 9 AM to avoid crowds. Take a walk around Lianvatnet lake in Bymarka nature reserve but bring good shoes for muddy trails. Later, check out the Crown Jewels at the Archbishop's Palace. End your day with craft beers in the historic Bakklandet neighborhood.
- Days 4-6
Lofoten Islands
Fly to Bodø (2 hours) and catch the afternoon ferry (3.5 hours) to Svolvær in the Lofoten Islands. Book a traditional fishermen's cabin (rorbu) for your stay. As one TourRadar guest said: "The rorbu experience was the highlight - nothing beats waking up right on the water with mountain views." Take a boat trip to Trollfjord to see sea eagles and hike Linken Peak (2 hours) for amazing views. Remember to bring layers for changing weather.

What people love about 10-day Norwegian Fjords tours
- Legendary Fjords End Copenhagen (including Røros)
The trip was excellent!!! Europamundo has done really great arrangements for the trip. We were a big group of 17 people and we felt very much at home. The bus was at full capacity with approx 50 folks. The itinerary that was chosen were the best places. The hotels we were provided were at great locations and had great facilities. The tour guides: Yakub and Ricardo did make sure that everyone was well taken care of. They were very knowledgeable interms of the locations, history etc. Our young kids really felt connected. Overall it was a great trip with long lasting memories
- Legendary Fjords End Stockholm
We extended our stay in Stockholm for an extra five days due to a conference, and as soon as it wrapped up, we jumped straight into a land tour that turned out to be nothing short of unforgettable. Starting in Stockholm and winding through Mora, Trondheim, the Atlantic Road, Leon, Bergen, Oslo, and finally back to Stockholm, the journey felt like a perfectly curated blend of culture, scenery, and camaraderie. June was a spectacular time to travel — long golden days, crisp air, and clear skies that made every fjord shimmer. Norway’s national parks were breathtaking, with dramatic cliffs, glassy waters, and trails that felt almost otherworldly. The fjords themselves were the highlight: serene, majestic, and humbling in their scale. One of the unexpected joys of the tour was the group itself. It was a truly international mix — Japanese, Chinese, Australian, and European travelers — and everyone was kind, curious, and welcoming. Conversations flowed easily, and it added a wonderful social dimension to the adventure. The breakfast buffets were consistently excellent, offering generous spreads that made mornings feel indulgent. If I had one wish, it would be for more scheduled bathroom breaks during the bus segments; after hearty breakfasts, quite a few folks were eager for a stop sooner than planned. Aside from that small detail, the tour was exceptionally well organized. Overall, this was a phenomenal experience — a seamless blend of nature, culture, and connection. I loved every moment of it and would happily recommend this journey to anyone dreaming of Scandinavia’s legendary landscapes.
