Take the bus to these major cities in the South of Norway

Are you planning a weekend getaway this spring? We have some recommendations for you! Whether you want to spend your time in a museum, walk around the city center and do some shopping, or simply just relax in the sun while you people watch, a city getaway is always a good idea. We have buses that will take you to several of south of Norway's largest cities, so there are plenty of options to choose from if you want to take a bus to your next city adventure.

Here are some great destinations for those who want to take a timeout from life and enjoy a weekend away in a city that is easily accessible by bus.

Kristiansand

Kristiansand really is a southern gem worth visiting. Here you can take your family on a day trip to the famous zoo, Kristiansand dyrepark, which has many animals to see and has other experiences such as “Kardemomme by” and “Hakkebakkeskogen”. If you don't want to spend the day at the zoo, Kristiansand has plenty of good cafes where you can have lunch followed by walking through the cobblestone streets where you can wander among the pretty wooden houses in the city.

Bergen

We have many buses driving to Bergen, and not without reason, because this is a city worth visiting. Bergen is a big city that has a lot of small-town charm! We recommend you start your day with a walk along the historic pier in Bergen city center, which is on UNESCO's list of world heritage. Next up, take the railway up to the top of mount Fløyen for a fantastic view of the city and sea.
