Our guide, Gabriella, was so knowledgeable about the history of Scandinavia and made the whole tour so interesting. All of the other travelers on our tour were fun to be with and it was sad to say goodbye at the end of the trip.

Bergen: In charming Bergen, explore the 14th-century Hanseatic merchants’ quarter of Bryggen, a World Heritage site; tour the 16th- century Bergenhus fortress, the country home of composer Edvard Grieg; and view the lively fish market. It is one of Europe’s most happening music scenes with more concerts than any other Scandinavian city. As was well described in the tour description, there was more bus time and less walking than our Northern Italy trip last year and this was fine for us.
I know she was the key to making my trip to Norway with Gate 1 an outstanding experience. This morning, your Local Specialist takes you on a sightseeing tour of this wonderful city, including the major sights such as the Little Mermaid, Nyhavn, the Royal Amalienborg Palace and the Carlsberg Glyptotek.

We had a great time on the Grand Scandinavia trip with Insight Vacations. Touring Scandinavian countries many tourists come to Denmark with the purpose of visiting Legoland, in which you will experience unforgettable moments of childhood. But in the Scandinavian countries the winter has its advantages – Norway every year held the Northern Lights Festival and many musical performances, and the best time to see the Northern Lights is from October to March.
