In Bergen, you are close enough to Norway's second longest fjord that the trip should be thoughtless.

You will need at least one day to feel that you have scratched the surface and, fortunately, the infrastructure is strong, as buses, ferries and tourism companies compete to give you the best landscape experience of ether beauty.

Hardangerfjord is also a Norwegian fruit orchard, beside the water, at the base of the tall rock walls with lush apple orchards and strawberry plantations.
