🇳🇴 Bergen to Sognefjord Day Trip Guide

🚆 Transport from Bergen Airport to City First mini-hurdle: Buying the light rail ticket. Options: VY or Skyss apps (Skyss didn’t work with my Chinese number for verification 😅). Tried the red ticket machine at the airport—credit card payment still required SMS verification (failed again). QR code nearby also didn’t scan. ✅ Solution: Just buy online—fast & easy! 🚢 Bergen → Sognefjord DIY Route (Cheaper than Official Tour!) The classic loop goes via Flåm and Myrdal back to Bergen. We booked separately (saved a few hundred NOK 💰). 1️⃣ Bergen → Flåm (Boat) Book at: norled.no Departs: 8:00 AM from Fish Market Arrives: 13:30 in Flåm (student discounts available!) Stop: 1 hr in Flåm—quaint & scenic! 🏡 2️⃣ Flåm → Myrdal (Train) Book at: VY Time: 14:55 - 15:51 Pro tip: Grab a window seat early for epic fjord & waterfall views! 🚞💨 3️⃣ Myrdal → Bergen (Train) Book at: VY Options: 15:56 (tight but doable—just cross the platform!) Or 17:04 - 19:10 (we took this, wandered in snow, saw hilarious "dog sledding" by locals 🐕❄️). ⚠️ Lessons Learned Hardangerfjord boats were closed until May (Easter timing 🥲). Always check schedules! Bergen’s weather? 300 rainy days/year—but we got lucky with sun & clouds! 🌦️ 💡 Final Tips DIY tickets save money vs. official tours. Flåm Railway = must-do! Myrdal is tiny—explore if you have time, or head back. Norway’s fjords are 100% worth it—rain or shine! 💙 #Nordic #Norway #NorwayTravel #Bergen #Sognefjord #TravelTips #FjordAdventures 🌍🚞
