Bergen is the second-largest city in Norway and a stroll through the picturesque outdoor fish market, Fisketorget where the fresh catch of the sea awaits from cod and prawns to local caviar and icy oysters is not to be missed
Geiranger is the gateway to some of coastal Norway’s most magnificent natural treasures with the Seven Sisters Waterfall which tumble 1,000 feet into the fjord’s water, while directly across the fjord, the Suitor Waterfall also plunges down a steep face.
Throughout Scandinavia winter shows off pristine landscapes surrounded by snowcapped peaks and the aurora borealis, whose magical lights dance across the nighttime skies.
