On a shorter trip you might stick with Oslo and Bergen, but if you have seven to 10 days, you\u2019ll have more time to check out the\u00a0 Fl\u00e5m Railway,<\/span> <span data-contrast=\"auto\">Troms\u00f8 and Geirangerfjord.

Multi-day cruises are also great value as they include meals, accommodation and sightseeing. If you\u2019re travelling independently, book your accommodation well in advance, travel in the shoulder months to keep costs down, and search for last-minute deals. Still, your best bet is to book through a reputable, well-connected travel company like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adventureworld.com\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Adventure World,<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> who can not only customise your sightseeing, accommodation and transport according to your budget, but can also access special deals, discounts, packages and promotions that the general public can\u2019t.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Should I also visit Finland, Sweden &amp; Denmark?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Yes \u2013\u202fbecause each Nordic country has its own distinct culture, attractions, heritage and natural highlights, and they\u2019re easy to move between.
