Je pars avec 3 amis en septembre en Norvège pour 8 jours. Nous arrivons à Oslo et nous repartons depuis Bergen.
Nous aimerions donc bien faire 2-3 jours de voyage pour arriver jusqu'à Bergen et le reste dans la région de Bergen. Nous ferions du stop ou prendrions le train.
Qu'y a-t-il à voir entre Oslo et Bergen, pas trop difficile d'accès, de sorte à ce qu'on puisse s'y arrêter en route pour repartir un peu plus loin ?
Quelles sont les plus belles régions des fjords à proximité de Bergen ?
Est-il possible de faire pas mal de stop en Norvège ? Faut-il prendre le ferry ? Idée du prix du ferry ?
Bonjour,
je suis partis en Norvège en juillet dernier. Pour ma part je suis partis 2 semaines avec en tête découvrir les fjords et faire de la randonnée (hébergement camping et voiture de location :7 jours de Bergen à oslo) :
J1 Arrivée à Oslo (avion), visite oslo
J2 Oslo -Finse en train tôt le matin, Rando à Finse
J3 Finse-Myrdal en train puis Myrdal-Flam à pieds
J4 Flam- Osterbo en car, Rando Osterbo-Aurland, Aurland-Flam en car
J5 Flam -Bergen en car, visite bergen
J6 Récuperation voiture Loc, Bergen Lofthus en voiture
J7 Lofthus -Odda en voiture, Rando Glacier de buar
J8 Rando Trolltunga
J9 Odda - Sand- Jorpeland en voiture
J10 Rando Preikestolen (tôt le matin), Route vers Lysbotn (Ferry à forsand : réservation conseillé)
J11 Rando Kjeragbotn
J12 Lysbotn- Oslo en voiture (retour voiture)
J13 Visite Oslo
J14 Fjord autour d'Oslo en bateau depuis Oslo
J15 Départ Oslo (Avion)
Les transports en commun sont assez bien desservis en Norvège (bateau, car, ferry, train), on peux aller partout mais cela demande un peu plus d'organisation pour coordonner les horaires.
En ce qui concerne le stop, je ne sais pas trop si c'est facile, je sais juste que j'en ai pas vu un seule sur ma route... Pour les trains je vous conseille de réserver à l'avance, il y a les miniprix (équivalent prem's sncf). Les prix des ferrys varient en fonction de la distance et du nombre de passagers dans la voiture (entre 5 et 30€/ voiture). Le camping sauvage est autorisé partout (sauf à moins de 150m d'une habitation), c'est bien pratique!
La ligne de train Oslo-Bergen est magnifique est pas très cher en s'y prenant à l'avance. Je vous conseille de vous arrêter à Finse, un petit village de montagne desservie que par la voie ferré, de là nombreuses rando dont celle de l'aurlandsdalen qui rejoint Aurland en 3 jours à pieds, Bus de aurland pour rejoindre flam (pour ma part, j'ai fait que la dernière partie de Osterbo à Aurland en raison des conditions météo), possibilité location vtt pour rejoindre myrdal.
Beaucoup de gens s'arrêtent à Myrdal pour rejoindre Flam. La descente en train, à pieds ou en vélo (20km sur route goudronnée donc plus sympa en vélo). Ce sont des paysages de montagnes et cascades, jolies certes, mais que vous retrouverez un peu partout ailleurs! (surtout si vous prenez la ligne de train Bergen-Oslo, ce sont ces paysages en continus). Flam est très touristique avec des gros paquebots qui arrivent chaque jour pour déverser ses milliers de touristes, qui y passent la nuit et repartent le matin pour laisser la place à un nouveau paquebot... De nombreux magasins de souvenirs et une supérette hors de prix.
Sinon dans la région des fjords, il y a les incontournables rando du Trolltunga, Preikestolen et Kjeragbotn.
Si vous aimer les randos et beaux paysages, je vous conseille le trolltunga, c'est magnifique! Le départ se fait de Tyssedal près de Odda (accessible en voiture ou car depuis le camping de Odda), il faut compter 8h de marche A/R. La première heure est un peu sportive (monté par un sentier pentue ou les 2000 marches de service du funiculaire hors service) mais la suite est assez plate et sans grande difficulté avec un paysage à couper le souffle et la récompense à la fin : le fameux trolltunga! Par contre à éviter par temps de pluie car les pierres peuvent être glissantes. Hébergement à proximité : camping et hôtels à Odda et camping superbe avec vue sur les fjords à Lofthus).
Dans le même coin : le glacier de buar, rando pour monter au pieds d'un glacier. C'est assez pentue, 3h A/R mais il y a des cordes pour faciliter l'accès. Magnifique point de vue à l'arrivée. Point de départ près de Odda accessible en voiture ou car depuis le camping de Odda.
Pour le Preikestolen, l’inconvénient : il y a beaucoup de monde donc y aller tôt le matin. Dormir à proximité la veille est pas mal pour éviter la foule et l'arrivée des cars de touristes qui encombre les sentiers (il y a le camping Le preikestolen à proximité).
La balade est familiale et assez facile si vous êtes bons marcheurs, 4h A/R est largement suffisant pause comprise au sommet.
Kjeragboltn : C'est plus difficle d'accès car au bout d'un fjord donc on peut y accéder par un ferry (acces piéton ou voiture : une 20aine d'euros 1 voiture + 2 personnes si mes souvenirs sont bons) en traversant le Lysefjord (au passage vue du Preikestolen d'en bas) jusqu'a Lysebotn (Camping sympa à lysbotn). Possibilité aussi par la route depuis Stavanger mais plus long. Départ du Kjeragbolten à quelques km, accessible en voiture ou en car depuis Lysebotn. Rando un peu difficile avec montées et descentes en continu, mais beaux points de vue et le fameux caillou coincé entre 2 rochers. C'est aussi le point de départ de nombreux base jumpeurs.
Actuellement étudiant en Erasmus en Estonie (à Tartu), j'ai trouvé des vols Tallinn - Oslo (Rygge) bon marché avec Ryanair (40€ aller-retour)... donc j'ai…
Nous sommes deux amis en partance pour la Norvège du 7 au 16 septembre, c'est une première fois en Norvège. Nous avons déjà fait l'Islande auparavant. Nous…
Nous voudrions faire oslo bergen en train, nous arreter à flam pour faire la balade en bateau Flam gudvangen est ce que quelqu'un a déjà fait cette balade si…
Nous sommes deux amies à partir pour Oslo début juillet, pendant 6 jours; et nous souhaiterions savoir si il est possible de partir une journée pour Bergen…
Bonjour,

quel conseils avez vous ?
Cordialement😉
Hi everyone, we’re a group of 11 people (including 3 kids under 4) who’d like to do a wine tasting tour starting from Florence (we haven’t rented a car) in Chianti.
We’re looking for an organized tour that leaves from Florence and lets the adults do some wine tasting (and olive oil tasting if possible).
For those who’ve done this tour, do you have any suggestions for tour names that organize these kinds of events? What should we look out for before booking these tours?
Hi, who’s familiar with the Algarve?
Lagos—should I go for a rental or a hotel? How do I get from the airport to the seaside, and how do I get around the city? What’s there to see and do?
Thanks for your ideas and tips!
Hello, VoyageForum friends, and happy holidays!
I’m planning a trip with my 19-year-old grandson to Milan for Easter Saturday, Sunday, and Monday in 2025.
I’d love your insights on what we can visit in Milan that would interest both my grandson and me (I’m 75). Of course, I’m thinking of the must-sees, but not just those—cozy little restaurants, trendy neighborhoods, and anything else you’d recommend. I’m also looking for a comfortable hotel in the city center that isn’t too expensive!
I’m sure the VoyageForum community will help me uncover some hidden gems! Looking forward to your replies.
Summer 2027 is going to be Norwegian for us!
We’re heading to the Lofoten Islands first, then Senja, near Tromsø, and finally the North Cape.
We’ll likely start from northern Finland (flight tickets and car rentals are more affordable there).
I’d like to book accommodations early to have more options.
Good value-for-money places go fast in these pricey Nordic destinations...
But where should we book?
We’re planning to stay around ten nights in the Lofoten Islands.
What’s the best approach?
One place in the central part and explore from there?
One place in the south and another in the center?
Or one in the south, one in the center, and one in the north (3-4-3 nights)?
Hi there, my husband and I are planning a trip to Iceland in mid-October 2026.
Would you have any advice on the best places to visit for a first trip to this destination? Thanks
Hi, I'm heading to Italy soon and I wanted to know if Italian banks charge fees when you withdraw cash at an ATM, or if, like in Spain or Greece, it's better to avoid taking out money and bring cash instead. Looking forward to your replies... Thanks
We’re planning a short trip at the end of July to explore the legendary mountains and valleys of the Bernese Oberland: round trip from Nancy (Swiss highway vignette planned), 2 nights in a room with a small kitchen in Adelboden, then 2 nights in a hotel at the Gletscherblick in Grindelwald, both with half-board included.
Could you share some tips on the best road routes to take, as well as some walking hikes (we’re not as fit as we used to be, so nothing longer than 2-3 hours)? Maybe also 1 or 2 cable car rides—I was thinking of Oeschinensee Lake above Kandersteg and the First gondola above Grindelwald for better panoramic views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau... all while keeping it doable with our schedule. We’ve ruled out the "premium" trip up to the Jungfraujoch for this time.
I’m also guessing that paying to access Wengen or Mürren only makes sense if we’re staying there for a few days, right?
- Is the road through the narrow valley of the White Lütschine toward Lauterbrunnen and beyond still worth it in terms of views and scenery?
On the way back, if we have a little time to explore Bern’s historic old town, what’s the best parking plan for a 1- or 2-hour stop?
Thanks in advance for your advice, fellow travelers familiar with this beautiful region! 😉
Hi,
I’ll be in Barcelona at the end of October.
I can choose to be there over the weekend or during the week. Probably 4 nights.
Is there a big difference in terms of crowds in the city and in the museums?
Little or no difference would simplify my itinerary on the way.
Hi there,
I’ll be in Rome from April 1st to 13th, 2026—it’s coming up fast!
I’ve been searching online for tickets to visit the Borghese Gallery, but either there’s no availability or the tickets offered are ridiculously expensive.
Could someone guide me to a website where I can book 2 skip-the-line tickets (I’ve heard you have to reserve in advance online)?
Hi everyone,
I rented a car through Klaus Wagen, picking it up in downtown Porto and returning it in downtown Lisbon.
After paying, I read some pretty negative reviews about them.
So, can anyone reassure me with positive experiences they’ve had with them?
Thanks in advance!
Hi there,
I’m heading to Setúbal at the end of June with my granddaughter, and I can’t seem to find clear info on the best way to get from Lisbon Airport to Setúbal. It looks like there’s a train or bus, but I can’t find the exact names of the bus (or train) companies or the precise departure points. Thanks if anyone can help me out! 😉 Just to clarify, I’m on a tight budget and have already ruled out taxis or similar options.
Hello,
We’re heading to Puglia at the end of May. We’re a senior couple. We arrive in Bari, where we’ve booked accommodation for 2 nights. We’ve rented a car.
Day 1: Bari
Day 2: Polignano a Mare – Monopoli
Day 3: Ostuni – Brindisi
Day 4: Lecce
Day 5 & 6: Exploring the coast from Otranto to Santa Maria di Leuca
Day 7 & 8: Gallipoli area
Day 9 & 10: Matera
We’re considering renting a place near Lecce for 5 days and using it as a base to explore the region.
Hi there,
I visited the Faroe Islands in late March 2026 for about ten days. I was invited by a friend who lives near Tórshavn, so I don’t have any info on tourist accommodations or car rentals. Still, I’d like to share a few thoughts about my trip:
- Before leaving, I consulted travel guides and blogs. I was surprised by how repetitive and unoriginal the featured sites were. This leads hurried travelers to follow the same overcrowded routes, which can annoy locals. I found that all Faroese villages were interesting—they reflect the country’s identity, even without the iconic grass-roofed houses. Those are indeed harmonious and beautiful, but they feel like an exotic cliché. For activities, I loved the lively ports that keep the country running.
- I was annoyed by the paid trails in tourist spots. Locals explained that these paths cross private land, and owners are responsible for maintenance and safety. There are plenty of free trails, too—signs at the start detail their features. While not alarmist, the extreme and unpredictable weather is a key factor to consider before setting out.
- The wind’s strength really impressed me. The architecture, with doors and windows opening outward to prevent gusts from blowing roofs off, speaks to the harsh climate. Some days, relentless rain and squalls made going outside unappealing. I realized that in this country, it’s best to plan for flexible indoor days.
- Distances are relatively short. I was happy to be based near Tórshavn because it was easy to explore one or more places in a day. The roads are in great condition. In late March, diesel was 2 €. Tunnel tolls can add up (~26 € per crossing), making a fixed base less practical than I’d thought.
- Everyone agrees: the landscapes are breathtaking. Nature feels untamed here—except for the short grass, thanks to all the woolly sheep.
- The flight from Paris to the Faroe Islands (and back) was long in March—11 hours with three legs: Paris-Amsterdam, Amsterdam-Copenhagen, Copenhagen-Vágar. In bad weather, Vágar Airport can close, causing delays. During tourist season, Atlantic Airways offers a direct Paris-Faroe Islands flight, which is more comfortable and cheaper.
- I found a book recommendation in a guide that fascinated me after my trip: *Les collectionneurs d'images* by Joanes Nielsen. Through its sometimes caricatured characters, it offers a glimpse into Faroese mentalities from the 1950s to 1970s—attitudes that likely persist today.
In conclusion, I’ve traveled a lot and I’m tired of destinations that all start to look the same. The Faroe Islands were a delight—a country stunning in its landscape, climate, and culture, where tourism has barely altered its authenticity.
Hi there,
We’re planning a trip for October to visit Naples (6 nights) and the Amalfi Coast (5 nights). We’ve already got the historic center and the Lapis Museum in Naples, Pompeii, Herculaneum, Procida, Sorrento, and Ravello on our list. Any suggestions, addresses, or tips?
Thanks for your help.

Hello,
We’re heading to Bavaria from May 13 to 23, with a side trip to Austria.
Here’s our itinerary:
Day 1: Brussels-Munich
Day 2: Munich
Day 3: Munich and departure for Salzburg
We’ll be staying three nights in Salzburg.
Then we’ll head to Garmisch-Partenkirchen, where we’ll stay for five nights.
Visiting Munich and Salzburg isn’t too tricky.
Once in Garmisch, we’re planning a day in Innsbruck, a day for Neuschwanstein Castle, and the rest is still up in the air.
What’s really got me stumped is that we’d love to see Königssee Lake—everyone says it’s a must-see.
We’d also like to visit the Eagle’s Nest (Kehlsteinhaus), where the landscapes are supposedly stunning.
This would either be a round trip while we’re in Salzburg or on the way between Salzburg and Garmisch, but I’m guessing it’s impossible to do the drive from Salzburg to Garmisch, the Eagle’s Nest, *and* Königssee Lake all in one day.
Plus, the Alpine route between Salzburg and Garmisch seems prettier than the highway.
But honestly, I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed with the planning.
We should’ve added a stop between Salzburg and Garmisch, but the hotels are already booked.
Thanks for any advice on the itinerary and visits!
Another question: How far in advance should we book Neuschwanstein, Königssee, and the Eagle’s Nest in May?
Thanks so much in advance for your tips and ideas!
hi
I’m wondering if anyone can give me some info on how to get from Mallorca to Menorca.
Since flights are cheaper to Mallorca, I’d like to go that way.
Thanks so much for your help!
We’re planning a trip to Finland and Norway this summer, starting in Oulu to explore Lapland, heading up to the North Cape, and then making our way down to Bergen.
This route means renting a car in Finland and dropping it off in Norway. My initial searches are showing rental rates that are... astronomical—about three times the price compared to returning it at the starting point.
I’m guessing I’m not the only one wanting to visit both countries. Are there any great tips to drastically reduce the cost of renting a car?
Hi there, we’re a couple of bikers planning a trip to Majorca in June 2026, and I’d love to organize a half-day or full-day boat or catamaran outing. Which coast do you think is the nicest for this, and do you have any suggestions or personal experiences to share? Thanks in advance!
