Bergen:
Bergen is Norway’s second city, and generally considered to be the most charming, with its wooden houses and old harbour, gracefully situated between seven hills and the world-famous fjords.

Fly directly to Bergen International Airport from a number of domestic and international airports: https://avinor.no/en/airport/bergen-airport/
In addition to a large selection of direct flights to Bergen, you can also arrive by train from Oslo (approx.. 7 hours).
The Bergen Railway between Bergen and Oslo has been ranked as one of the most pictureque train journeys in the world.
Bergen also has a ferry connection to and from the Continent. Fjord Line sails to Denmark and the ferry docks within easy walking distance of the city center.
