    The Bergen Railway line is worth taking for the amazing scenery alone. As we left Oslo, we were eventually treated with beautiful views of lakes, rivers and meadows. We then started to see snow in mid June as we climbed the mountains. We were also very excited when the conductor allowed those that wanted to get off in the village of Finse, the railway’s highest elevation. Even though we only had five minutes, we took pictures and threw a snowball. After five hours we disembarked in Myrdal for the Flam Railway. Our reserved round trip tickets were part of a Norway in a Nutshell touring package. The first ride was on a 5:30am train and it was an amazing experience. Then after spending several days exploring western Norway, we took the reverse trip on the evening train back to Oslo, arriving at 10:30pm. I would suggest bringing food onto the train since the cafe car has limited offerings. Unfortunately the cafe car is where we also experienced rude staff. The train was clean and we appreciated the reclining seats. Their plus seating is also available to reserve which would be good for families with small children but it didn’t look like the seating would adjust. The train has space for overhead carryons and luggage storage areas but they fill up fast. Traveling light will make it easier to maneuver on and off the train. I would definitely recommend the Bergen Railway to view the beauty of Norway!

    The station seemed like it had pretty much everything you need as far as shops and restaurants. Finding the trains was pretty easy and the place is clean. I would like to comment on the Ruter transportation company, however, as getting the tickets for the Metro (T) was ridiculous. We went to the Metro station, thinking we could purchase tickets at terminals there. No, there are no terminals in the station. Then, we looked on the map to find a Ruter customer service point, found it and it was closed (and this was mid-day). We saw the big banner saying to download the app and purchase your tickets there. So, we downloaded the app and tried to get tickets, but it wouldn't allow us to complete the transaction. We went back to the main station terminal and to one of the very helpful information people and they told us we had to go to the Ruter customer service desk, outside the central train station, around the corner, with no signs pointing to it, other than a Ruter logo up on the tall tower. When we arrived there, the very nice staff person listened to our story and told us that we shouldn't have downloaded that app, we need a DIFFERENT Ruter app. She said to use the white logo on the red background app, not the red logo on the white background app, because that app DOESN'T WORK. Why would they advertise an app that doesn't work? Then, we got our tickets online with proper app and she told us that we also could have bought tickets at any of the multiple Narvesen stores. Well, THAT would have been good to know, as we passed three on our way to the tram. Very poor customer information.

    Because of very good service from Berg Reiser in preparation to our trip, we booked a 7-days trip to different Cities and Hotels in Southern Norway. We choosed a roundtrip where we knew that exceptionally great nature experiences awaited us, exciting fine hotels, easy to find and at the same time pre-booked dinners we could reach at all the hotels every afternoon/evenings. Thank you, Berg Reiser, we will give you the best references to friends and acquaintances.

    Simple and fast travel from airport to city centre. Intuitiv ticket machine for all tickets needed. Large display showing how many minutes to the next rain (runs every 20 minutes).
    On board announcements in Norwegian and English, so easy to follow.

    You simply just take the route B1 from the city hall and experience the beautiful Oslofjord. This is probably one of the cheapest activities in Oslo...
