Travel

but as I recall, there's a train to a bus to a boat to another boat to a bus back to the city. I think we got a set of tickets. The train leaves at 8:00AM or some other ungodly hour, and you're essentially gone all day. There's a three-hour stop at a town in the middle of the day, where you can have lunch (on your own), hike into the hills, or just hang out.

The Bergen Tourist Office also booked the concert at Grieg's home for me. (My brother and his family were not interested.) I just bought the ticket, and they provided a free bus to Grieg's home, which is out in the suburbs and not easily accessible by public transit. We still had to walk the last kilometer or so.

Oslo and Stockholm both have streetcar and subway systems, and Oslo has regular ferry service from in front of the City Hall out to Bygdøy, where the Folk Museum (recommended), the Viking Ship Museum, and a couple of other museums are located.
