The historic Hotel Brosundet is an iconic luxury hotel with fantastic views of the harbour and high-end culinary offerings. Enjoy a yoga class before breakfast and a hot bath outside before afternoon tea. Have you packed your bags yet?

Even though time is of the essence, we highly recommend taking the ferry along Norway's most stunning fjord: Geirangerfjord. This UNESCO-protected heaven on earth is surrounded by snow-coated mountains, captivating shades of green and glorious waterfalls like Seven Sisters.

The small farming town of Fjærland on Norway's Sognefjord comes to life in summer when glacier walkers arrive, and this traditional all-white building is the place to stay. Fourteen homely bedrooms, fjord views from every window, and a farm-to-table restaurant with an edimental garden where even the ornamental plants are edible. Borrow scissors to cut herbs for evening tea. A floating sauna nearby is a must.
