How many days do you need in Norway?
Six days. That is the length of the itinerary we built for Norway, across Oslo, Bergen and Flåm / Aurlandsfjord-Nærøyfjord.
Here is what each day holds. Every stop below carries its time, and every gap says how to get to the next stop, with the walk or drive time wherever both stops are mapped.
Norway · 6 days Oslo → Bergen → Flåm / Aurlandsfjord-Nærøyfjord
Best time: Late May through September gives the fullest access to fjord boats and mountain rail scenery and the longest daylight; the shoulder months are quieter but some fjord services thin out, so check seasonal timetables before locking plans.
