Bergen - extra days?

We are booked on the Scandinavia tour next July, 2025. We’d like to add a day or so on in Bergen at the end of the tour - any suggestions as to how many extra days to plan on??

Depending on your interests and how far you want to go / drive oustide Bergen is good for 2-5 night.
VisitBergen page and scenic route Hardanger offer some inspirations.
Alternatively book 3-7 days on Hurtigruten / Havila. Really scenic coastline.

We are also booked on RS 2025 Scandinavia starting June 29. We will have 3 or 4 days in Bergen after the tour and are looking for things to do. We will be catching a cruise from Southampton to Norway fjords and Iceland after our tour

We were in Bergen recently. Unless you hike there, one day should be more than sufficient.

I enjoyed the KODE art museums and walking around some of Bergen's beautiful neighborhoods. I spent at least 3 nights in Bergen and didn't have time to go up to the Grieg house or up the funicular.

A visit to the Oleana factory is a real treat

Looks like you have one full guided day in Bergen with the tour. I would go with two additional full days, at most, unless you have some specific activities planned. Bergen is a good place to relax for a few days at end of trip.
