6 days in Norway

Didn't know we could fly to Lofoten from Oslo. That is good to know. But I see those flights are double the price of Bodo. Is it worth spending that much or does it make sense to take the ferry from Bodo?
Yes, we have 6, almost 7 days just for Norway. Do you think we will need all those days for Lofoten? Or should we squeeze Oslo too? We were thinking of flying from Oslo after spending 2 days there. What all can we do in Lofoten?
Thanks much for your suggestions.

No chance for midnight sun in Bergen, it is below Arctic circle. You will have "just" very long daylights there. Good for fjord experience. Would prefer car for a little bit off tourist crowds but your time is short and one-way rentals are expensive. If you want to go to Bergen: direct flight Stockholm to Bergen and NiN back to Oslo, from there an overnight ferry or late flight to CPH.

Any suggestions for stops along the way from Oslo to Bergen. Just in case we decide to drive and see Bergen instead of Lofoten.

Thanks Much.

Oslo depends on your interests but Bergen and fjord Norway is more impressive. Tip: If you do NiN from Oslo to Bergen there are direct flights to CPH from Bergen.

That's Nice to know.
Can we take the ferry from Bergen to CPH? Also, if we plan to go directly to Bergen and take a three-day cruise up north, would that be worth doing?

Thanks so much. This helps a lot.

You really want it all :-)

Ha ha! I am wishing for that :)

So difficult to decide what to do now. I want to really go to Lofoten but Bergen and surrounding areas sound really good too.

Bergen cruise by Hurtigruten to north: imo the parts of the routes from Alesund to north are more scenic, especially if you board in the morning. Then the ship will drive into Geirangerfjord and be in Alesund again in the evening (summer sailing plan only). Really scenic drive, especially Seven Sisters Waterfall.

Could you please point me to cruise for that would go that route. As I am unable to do so.

Thanks

If your goal is the north and the midnight sun, you shouldn't go to Oslo from Stockholm, you should head north instead. Easist way to get to Lofoten from Stockholm would be the overnight train to Narvik. Maybe stop along the way in Abisko.

Thank everyone for all your suggestions. This is very helpful.

So this is the itinerary I came up with. Please let me know if it's doable with kids otherwise we will just plan to do a round trip from Oslo, Bergen, and Alesund and back.
Thanks much!

24th: Overnight train trip to Narvik from Stockholm.
25th: Drive from Narvik to Lofoten/ 4.5 Hrs. Rent car from Narvik
26th:
27th:
28th:
29th: Fly to Bergen from Leknes in the morning.
30th: Bergen
31st: Take Norway in a nutshell to Oslo, see the fjords
1st July: Oslo
2nd July: Afternoon Ferry to Copenhagen
3rd July: Fly 6:30 am back

otherwise consider EVE to EVE (instead of Narvik main station to LKN), might also reduce costs.
Mark, is that a bus? Because I read that the bus station is quite close to the train station. Would the car rental be available in LKN?
Thanks, I am liking this itinerary now. 😀
Suggestions for things to do in Lofoten for 3 day would be greatly appreciated.
I am really looking forward to seeing Norway now :)

Hey, I am not your travel agent :-)
Ha ha! You should start your company. You are good :)

Thanks for all the pointers and suggestions!

Or much easier I would just take a direct plane from Stockholm to Tromsø. Mountain Fjellheisen is really good to experience midnight sun.

Update, we booked a direct flight from Stockholm to Tormsø, as it was cheaper to fly there and saves us time. Will rent a car from there to visit Lofoten. Would taking a ferry to Bodo and flying from there to Bergen make more sense or flying out of Lofoten to Bergen? Any other quicker way to get to Bergen?

Thanks.

I suggest to book Hurtigruten from Tromso to Risoyhamn (incl. car) and stay 1 or 2 nights in Andenes for whale and puffin / eagle watching. From Tromso you board around midnight and disembark at 10.xx am which is perfect to reach the tours. Take an inside cabin to get some sleep. Book asap for best price, do not forget to book the place for the car on the ship.

That sounds wonderful. I'll look into that. Thanks so much! Do we even need to go to Bergen and Flam, after Lofoten? Maybe see a fjord there. I was thinking of going back to Oslo and stop on the way to Gothenburg and then Copenhagen. To a bit warmer, dry weather :)

My tip: Go for beautiful Bergen and Flam incl. Naeroyfjord boat tour. Also Flambana with the great waterfall gives you impressions you will not see on Lofoten. If you want to stay overnight in Flam you can visit the brewpub in the evening and Stegastein in the morning by bus before heading on to Oslo.

Done! We will do Bergen and Flam incl. Naeroyfjord boat tour! Should we take the ferry from Moskenes to Bodo and get a direct flight to Bergen(summertime, Wideroe ). I feel that might be efficient than flying from Lofoten!
I am still waiting to hear back from Hurtigruten. Wonder if just taking the cruise from Tromso and doing the Lofoten would make more sense and more relaxed than driving? I am getting a bit overwhelmed now.

Finally after a week of research and lots of help from this thread :)
25th Fly into Tromoso from Stockholm. rent car(car rental Autoeurope $1000 for 4 days....crazy!!), do the cable car and go to the brewery.
26th: Drive to Henningsvær. Stay the night there. Stop on the way...follow the science route there.
27th /28th: Stay two days in Ballstad. explore the lower northern area.(Nusfjord, Reine, Hamnøy bridge, Å, and some beaches)
29th Fly to Oslo out of Narvik (late evening flight )cheaper, quicker and direct flight to Oslo
30th Norway in a nutshell from Oslo to Bergen.
1st stay in Bergen
2nd fly out from Bergen to Copenhagen.

Any must see spots or activities along the route are welcome :)
Thanks All!
