Solo travel for beginners: Exploring Norway's fjords

Sognefjord, located in western Norway, is one of the world's largest fjords.
It's easy to access even for beginners, and the "Norway in a Nutshell" sightseeing route, traveling from Oslo to Bergen, is a must-see. 🚞

Oslo → Myrdal
Bergen Railway: Approximately 4 hours and 50 minutes

Myrdal → Flåm
Flåm Railway: Approximately 1 hour
One of the world's steepest railways, the train stops for about 5 minutes at large waterfalls for photo opportunities.

Flåm → Gudvangen
Fjord Cruise (Boat)
This is the highlight.
It's said to be about 2 hours long, but it went by in a flash.
Even though I get seasick, I didn't notice much of the rocking, so it seems like it would be fine even for those who aren't used to seasickness. 🙆♀️

Gudvangen → Voss
Bus: Approximately 1 hour
It fills up quickly, but buses keep coming, probably depending on the number of passengers.
Since most people take the same route, just follow the crowd.

Voss → Bergen
The train took just over an hour.
I arrived around 9 PM.

Since it also doubles as a trip from Oslo to Bergen,
Norway is expensive, so it's a great way to save money while sightseeing. 😉
