Itinerary Help - NORWAY!
Hello everyone,
I am visiting Scandinavia in July and needed some advice on my itinerary below:
Day 1: Stockholm
Day 2: Stockholm
Day 3: Stockholm
Day 4: Stockholm to Alesund (via flight). Oslo does not seem interesting so want to skip that
Day 5: Take the 90 minute cruise to Geirangerfjord - Please let me know if there is a better option
Day 6: Fly to Bergen from Alesund
Day 7: Bergen
Day 8: Take the Norway in a Nutshell - Bergen round trip
Day 9: Bergen
Day 10: Back to the US
Any thoughts and suggestions are welcome! Thanks!

Olso is, in fact, very interesting. Don't know where that comment comes from. While NiN is fine ( you do know you can do the same tour on your own and, even, personalize it ) you'll be covering the same area twice. There are alternatives.

Day 5 - what 90 min cruise to Geiranger from Ålesund? It will take a whole day to get to Geiranger and back. You could take the Hurtigruten - https://www.hurtigruten.com/find-a-t...ended&asc=true
Unfortunately the new website is a mess and I can't get it to show me a port to port trip Ålesund - Geiranger - Ålesund - you might have to give them a call.
The Norway in a Nutshell is a self guided, no group, route on public transport. While you could book everything yourself there is not much to save on a round trip from Bergen. Apart from staying in Flåm there is also not much you can personalise as it is a full day and there are limited through connections - https://www.norwaynutshell.com You might find the Hardangerfjord in a Nutshell tour less crowded in mid season (Flåm tends to be packed out with cruise tourists). Better book early - looks like there is a huge increase in tourists this year due to weak kroner.
