Bergen and the surrounding area offers a range of activities. We suggest that you prolong your stay with at least one day and go on the spectacular "Norway in a Nutshell Tour", which starts from Bergen central station. A wonderful display where you get to travel with the world famous " Flam Railway", ride one of the steepest streets in Europe and sail on one of the famous Norwegian fjords .http://www.norwaynutshell.com/en/explore-the-fjords/norway-in-a-nutshell//
