7-day Lofoten scenic route self-drive itinerary
There's no quick way to see Lofoten properly. Budget a week to ensure you get to experience Lofoten properly without rushing.
Bergen is small. You can walk from one end of the centre to the other in twenty minutes. But still it´s easy to waste time by crossing the same ground several times. This plan keeps you moving in roughly one direction each day. Day 1 covers Fløyen, Bryggen, and the museums on the waterfront. Day 2 takes you up Ulriken, through the local neighbourhoods most tourists skip, and out to the edges of the fjord landscape.
Oslo is compact enough to cover in three days without a car, and most of the major sights sit within walking distance of each other along the waterfront. This itinerary runs east to west across the city. Each day is built around one area, with restaurants and bars slotted in nearby.
