The Zander K is a wonderful hotel in Bergen Norway one block from the Central Train Station. It has a wonderful breakfast, a great bar and restaurant and spacious rooms. This hotel is located within an easy walk of the Marina, Fish Market, Funicular, Seaport and multi-colored buildings. Taking the Light-Rail to and from the Bergen airport is the easiest and cheapest way.
Come see this great small hotel in the heart of Bergen:
We recently spent 3 weeks in Scandinavia. It was a wonderful trip. we visited Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark. This vlog is about our trip to Oslo Norway. We stayed at a wonderful hotel in Oslo that was central to everything. We went in the beginning of April. It was cold but not freezing. We had several sunny days that felt warm and wonderful.
The waterfront was our favorite area. Here you can rent boats, take a boat ride, walk on a boardwalk and find endless types of restaurants. Oslo is a very walkable city. The Central Train Station was only 13-minute walk from our hotel and another few minutes to the Palace or waterfront. You can also rent a bicycle or your hotel may lend you one.
We took a 3-week trip to Scandinavia in April 2019. We flew from Florida to Frankfurt Germany. From Frankfurt:
we flew to Oslo Norway
Took a scenic train over snow covered mountains from Oslo to Bergen Norway
Few from Bergen to Stockholm, Sweden
Took a Viking overnight cruise from Stockholm to Helsinki, Finland
Few from Helsinki to Copenhagen Denmark
Flew back to Frankfurt to return to Florida USA
It was cool in the beginning of April and we had snow flurries in Stockholm. Helsinki, which is the farthest north of all the cities we visited, was the warmest. Easter in Copenhagen was warm and beautiful.
Our thoughts on this trip:
Norway was our favorite followed by Finland and Denmark.
The scenic train ride from Oslo to Bergen, Norway is a MUST do
The Viking cruise from Stockholm to Helsinki was a pleasure and a must do
We will talk about what we saw, what we ate and the great hotels we stayed in
If Scandinavia is not on your bucket list, it should be
We are walkers and all of these cities are walkable. They also have great metros and lots of bicycles to rent. Taxis are very expensive so we will talk about fast, easy and safe public transportation from the airports to the central train stations. Hop-On-Hop-Off Busses and boats are a great way to get oriented and see all the main sites.
Scandinavia has a reputation for being expensive and it can be. We saw everything, ate well and travelled fast between cities and within cities for an average of $100/day for two people. Our hotels cost on average $100/day as well.
I will be doing a VLOG on how to travel cheap soon. Look for it.
Now, sit back and travel with us to these four wonderful countries:
