Day 4 | Departure Day

Today you will return to Bergen by rail with the opportunity to store your luggage and explore Bergen on foot, before your private transfer to Bergen Airport. Bergen is a picturesque coastal city known for the colourful wooden wharf buildings in Bryggen - an ancient trading harbour which is UNESCO listed. If you only have a few hours to spare we suggest lunch in one of the numerous independent cafes or the Fish Market, perhaps with a glass of crisp wine.
