Tips

To extend the trip, consider adding a couple of extra days in Tromsø for dog‑sledding or a multi‑day trek in the Lyngen Alps, and a day in Oslo’s surrounding fjord region (e.g., a cruise to the Oslofjord islands). If you need to shorten the itinerary, you can combine Stockholm’s museum visits into a single half‑day and skip one of the Bergen fjord excursions, reducing the travel time while still experiencing the main highlights of each city.
