Trondheim was the medieval capital of Norway, founded in 997 by Olav Trygvason. You can see his statue in the town square. This bustling university town has a rich past with obvious reminders everywhere. It is the capital of the Sor-Trondelag region and it is a centre of education, technical and medical research. Trondheim is a very interesting cultural town with many museums. Gamle Bybro is the old town bridge and it is also called the Gate of Fortune. It was built in 1861 and even originally it had striking carved red gates. The colourful wooden houses in Trondheim add to the beautiful feel of the city; on the banks of the river you see the different colourful houses in red, yellow, ochre, grey and white. The streets in the old town are small and narrow and the atmosphere in this area is very cosy. Nidarosdomen, the cathedral of Trondheim dates back to the year 1070 and with its giant facade, decorated with 3 rows of statues of bishops, saints and kings it is one of the most significant gothic churches and Scandinavia’s largest medieval structure. Walk up the innumerable stairs to the tower, the wonderful view of Trondheim is definitely worth it. Right next to the Cathedral you will find the Archbishop's residence. It is a lovely courtyard with many old buildings surrounding it. This is the oldest secular building in all Scandinavia. The fascinating Museum of Musical instruments is one of the best of its kind in the world. Knowledgeable guides demonstrate instruments of different periods and regions. The best of Norwegian artists are represented at the Trondheim Kunstmuseum Art Gallery, next to the cathedral. Trondheim is a beautiful city of flowers, waterways and old Norse architecture. The city boasts a rich, cultural heritage and it is a city where there's a lot going on. Although modest in size, all combines into making Trondheim one of the most exciting city centres of Northern Europe.

Arrival: 08:00

Departure: 17:00
Discover Norway’s wild islands
The Lofoten Islands are strewn across the stormy waters of the Norwegian Sea, well above the Arctic Circle. This unique wilderness outpost offers an untouched landscape of majestic mountains, deep fjords, noisy seabird colonies and long, surf-battered beaches.
Thanks to the warm Gulf Stream, Lofoten enjoys a much milder climate than other parts of the world at the same latitude. From late May to mid July, you can experience the midnight sun, while the northern lights can be seen from September to mid April.
Lofoten is renowned for its excellent fishing, spectacular natural attractions such as the northern lights and the midnight sun, and small villages off the beaten path. Kayak between the islands, go fishing for the catch of a lifetime, or look out for sea eagles soaring in the sky.

Departure: 17:00
Tromso is the administrative, commercial, and educational hub of northern Norway. It's the seventh largest city in Norway by population, and is home to the world's most northerly university, brewery and botanical garden. The town is situated about 350 km north of the Arctic Circle, so it experiences both the midnight sun and polar night. Tromsø is reputed to be one of the best places in Europe to see the Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis.
The beautiful cathedral, one of the largest wooden churches in Norway, is located in the town centre in a small square with some interesting statues and sculptures. Take a stroll down Storgatan to the marketplace, where soothing music plays, and the air is filled with the aroma of coffee, fresh bread, and strawberries. The Tromso museum features ethnographic exhibits on the independent cultures of Lapland. The Polar Museum, next door, has exhibits on the story of the Arctic region with a focus on the lives of early hunters, trappers and explorers. Tromsdalen Kirke, commonly known as the “Arctic Cathedral”, is not actually a cathedral at all, but the parish church of the Tromsøysund part of Tromso. It was built in 1965, mainly of concrete, and is designed to look like slabs of ice. The church is one of the most famous landmarks in Tromsø.
Tromso is a compact, friendly, and lively town with a picturesque setting on an island. The city has more than its fair share of restaurants, pubs, clubs and theatres to entertain locals and visitors. Tromso is undoubtedly the cultural capital of northern Norway.

Departure: 17:00
Clinging tenaciously to the hills surrounding its deeply indented fjord, the stunning scenery and exciting cultural tradition of Bergen make it unique among European cities. Once the capital of Norway, Bergen has always played a leading role in the nation’s history. Squeezed between mountains and bounded by water, the centre of town stretches between the harbour Bryggen and Torgalmenningen, the main square. The most sensuous spot in Bergen is the Torget, at the foot of the harbour, where your nose will tell you what’s being sold. Here you can choose fish from open tanks and watch traders net, weigh and clean the creature you’ve chosen. Looking towards the right side of the harbour you’ll see the pointed gables of Bryggen’s roofline. This row of heavy-timbered medieval buildings, typical of Hanseatic architecture, has survived half a dozen disastrous fires since its construction in the 16th century. Bryggen now features restaurants, bars and arts-and-crafts workshops. Housed in one of the best-preserved buildings, the Hanseatic Museum presents an interesting picture of commercial activity during those times. Starting from Torget or Bryggen, explore the jungle of houses on the slopes of Mount Floien. A steep hike above these houses will reward you with increasingly spectacular views of Bergen and the fjord beyond. Welcoming Bergen has numerous places for an evening beer or glass of wine. This beautiful and charming city has a dynamic cultural life and lively atmosphere and is the perfect place to explore the Sognefjord and other fantastic Norwegian fjords.
