Bergen boasts a world class harbor nestled amongst several mountains. The Bryggen Wharf is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and while the area once dominated trade in Europe, today you can enjoy its many restaurants, bars, and shops. Like in Oslo, in your free time you can enjoy urban hiking or get into those surrounding mountains for some trail hiking. Or perhaps you\u2019d like to connect with the city\u2019s musical history by visiting Troldhaugen, once the home of Edvard Grieg, or Lys\u00f8en, the Ole Bull House.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019re working on the details \u2026 please check back!

Within each city and at cultural\/historic sites we&#8217;ll get around on foot, requiring a lot of walking and standing. Some days may be more active than others. You should be capable of walking up to five miles per day over possibly uneven terrain, of climbing stairs that may not have handrails, of climbing in and out of various types of transportation, of keeping pace with an active group of travelers on long days of traveling, of dealing with the emotional highs and lows that can occur when experiencing different cultures, and of traveling with a group for several hours each day.<\/p>\n<p>Hotels will be centrally-located, tourist class (three or four star) with private baths, air conditioning, and English-speaking staff.<\/p>\n<p>We recommend you be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, including any recommended boosters for your age or health group, before departure. You should plan on seeing your family physician or a travel doctor at least four to six weeks prior to departure, preferably earlier, to talk about recommended vaccinations for this destination.

But you absolutely can make this happen! Here is how we build the perfect safety net for your first big adventure: <a href=\"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/travel\/your-tour-your-way\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Your Tour, Your Way<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Inclusions and exclusions vary by tour, so please read the following information carefully. We try to strike a balance between nickel-and-diming you once on the tour and allowing you some freedom in your price point: including some meals and activities, for example, while making others optional or on your own. Private motor coaches throughout the tour are pricier than public transportation. Highly rated guides are essential and should command higher wages.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"15858\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/travel\/2027-norway-football-companion-tour\/football-4\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/travel\/files\/2026\/07\/Football-4.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1757,2560\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-title=\"Football 4\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/travel\/files\/2026\/07\/Football-4-703x1024.jpg\" class=\"is-style-default alignleft size-medium wp-image-15858\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/travel\/files\/2026\/07\/Football-4-206x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"206\" height=\"300\" \/>The tour price is PENDING.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Inclusions<\/span>: St. Olaf group host, a full-time Norwegian tour manager, accommodations, hotel taxes, breakfast daily and group meals as listed on the itinerary, admissions for group activities, ground transportation during the tour (except airport transfers), and some <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/travel\/travel-insurance\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">limited travel insurance<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Exclusions<\/span>: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Airfare to and from Norway is not included.
