Scandinavia with a toddler?
 
We are going to a wedding in August outside of Oslo and plan to travel before/after with our 3 year old. 7-14 days - don't think we want to stay in Norway the whole time and don't think he'd love a boat trip to look at Fjords. Would love suggestions as to where we should go instead/in addition to Oslo. thanks, Julie

Alrighty then. We now plan to do Norway in a Nutshell with our 3 year old, but we're going to take it slow. Train to Myrdal, spend the night in Flam. Boat fjords the next day, spend night at Stalheim Hotel, Day 3 head to Bergen. Does anyone know if there are overnight ferries from Bergen to Copenhagen?

There are no overnight ferries from Bergen to Copenhagen but lot of direct flights.

Like scandinavianpackages posted, there are no overnight ferries between the two cities.

We flew Bergen-CPH with Sterling Airlines (which has since filed for bankruptcy and ceased operations) for ~$90/person. You can try SAS, as they fly the same route too. Flight is about 1.5 hrs.

yes, our favorite part of Oslo was Frogner Park. We were in town for a wedding so ended up not having a lot of time for sightseeing. The Opera house was really neat.

Heimly Pension in Flam. Loved balestrand - GORGEOUS!!
