The city is the gateway to the incredible Lysefjord, home to the iconic Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock) and offerers excellent choice in outdoor activities from cruising on the glass-like fjord to hiking to panoramic summits.

The direct flights from London are just under 2 hours allowing you to spend your full break taking in the sights of this beautiful destination. With one day spent enjoying a fjord cruise and one day left open to explore the compact and attractive city centre, you'll really feel you've made the most of your holiday.
