For my birthday this year, I got The Bergen Railway. Well...I got a ticket for it. And if you think getting a train ticket for your birthday doesn’t sound exciting, then think again my friend, because this isn’t a standard journey; it’s one of the world’s most scenic train rides, your ‘thing to do’ for… Continue reading The Bergen Railway
Bergen was our last stop when we went to Scandinavia earlier this year, so it's about time I got round to talking a bit more about it. Charming and colourful despite being renowned for its rainfall, Norway's second-largest city is a fantastic place to base yourself if you want to see the Fjords, and lovely… Continue reading Three nights in Bergen
If you’ve landed on my blog before now you’ll probably know from me going on and on about it that I loved Oslo. I wrote about why I thought it was so great here, but today I just wanted to talk about a morning we spent there. It was one of those times when you’re… Continue reading A sunny morning exploring Vigeland Sculpture Park, Oslo
Bergen is marketed as the ‘Gateway to the Fjords’; it's where countless excursions to glaciers, Fjords and mountains depart from, and the ease of getting to some of Norway’s most incredible landscapes was probably the main reason we wanted to go there. The city itself is wonderful though, so it's well worth making sure you… Continue reading 10 things to do in Bergen, Norway
I’ve written a whole post on the reasons why I loved Oslo so much and why I think everyone should go there. I’m well aware though, that Oslo – like most other Scandinavian cities - has a reputation for being expensive. That’s because it is. There’s no getting around it, it's almost guaranteed that you… Continue reading Oslo on a budget
Last week I posted part one of a two-part post on the Norway in a Nutshell tour that I did a couple of months ago while we were in Scandinavia (it's taken me ages to get round to writing about it, sorry). This will be part two, where I'll cover the second half of the… Continue reading Norway in a Nutshell part 2: Flam to Bergen
Scenic railways, a fjord cruise and picture-perfect landscape; Norway in a Nutshell is the most popular tour in Norway and it’s easy to see why. It covers a LOT, including two of the must-dos in the area - the Flam Railway and a Fjord cruise - so it's perfect for those with limited time, and… Continue reading Norway in a Nutshell part 1: Bergen to Flam
I’ll say this at the outset; I LOVED Oslo (probably wouldn’t be doing this post if I didn’t, would I). It's beautiful, there's plenty to do, and it's one of those places that just has really nice atmosphere. Here’s why you should put it on your travel wishlist.
After a packed 2 days in Stockholm, we headed to Gothenburg, Sweden's second-largest city. Situated on the west coast of the country, it's diverse, green, artsy, and absolutely packed with industrial landmarks - so I couldn't wait to explore. Some travelling real talk here: 1) things don’t always go to plan, and 2) sometimes because… Continue reading 16 hours in Gothenburg
Oh hey, we're going to talk Scandinavia again (well, I'm going to talk, probably a lot, and then I'd love it if you talked back using the comments section) because as you may know I recently took a little trip there and I like travel posts. Arriving in Stockholm was something of a relief after being… Continue reading 60,000 steps through Stockholm
