Norway Holidays

Norway's unforgettable Bergensbanen Railway links two of Northern Europe's most charismatic and culturally-rich cities - Oslo and Bergen - via a five-hundred-kilometre train journey that surely ranks amongst the world's greatest.

As you join Rail Discoveries on this remarkable rail adventure, from the comfort of your seat you'll witness the best of Norway's magnificent scenery from soaring mountains to snow-dusted pine forests and, of course, the spectacular coastal fjords for which the country is famous. As we head north to the Arctic Circle and the beautiful Lofoten Islands, Norway reveals some of its most wondrous natural treasures. In summer, daylight persists around the clock for three months as the sun remains steadfastly above the horizon; this is truly the 'land of the midnight sun'.

In winter, meanwhile, Norway's dark northern skies play host to the awe-inspiring illuminations of the Aurora Borealis; the fabled Northern Lights.

Norway is a safe, tolerant and relatively laid-back country. Major cities are both friendly and cosmopolitan and guests enjoying a rail tour with Rail Discoveries will find a wealth of wonderful attractions to explore and enjoy including galleries, museums, historical buildings, theatres and public gardens. Norwegians take their leisure and recreation seriously, and the country offers some of Europe's best café's bars and restaurants and a vibrant nightlife.
