Bergen, the Sognefjord & Hardanger
This is the Norway of the postcards. From the wooden wharf of Bergen you can reach the Sognefjord (the longest and deepest in the country), the orchards and waterfalls of Hardanger, the Nærøyfjord and the Flåm railway. If you only have time for one fjord region, this is it.
