For the summer season, Finnair will open a route to Bergen, Norway, starting 22
May. The company will fly to Bergen daily, except on Wednesdays and Sundays.
"The main reason for the opening of a new summer route to Bergen is high
tourism demand from Asia, particularly from Japan, directed at Norway's
renowned fjord area. There is also interest in the new route from America and
the southern European countries," says Finnair's Vice President Route Strategy
and Traffic Planning Petteri Kostermaa.
For Finns, too, the new route offers a fast and convenient way of reaching
Norway's number one tourist destination.
Bergen is Norway's second biggest city and a busy trading port. The seafront
warehouses of Bergen's old town as well as its fish restaurants and cafés are
easy to tour on foot.
Outside Bergen, there's lots to see and experience: you can hop on to a
Hurtigruten cruise ship to see the magnificent fjords or visit the other sights
of western Norway near by Bergen, for example Alesund to the north, Haugesund
and Stavanger in the south, or head east from Bergen to Geilo and the mountain
areas.
Finnair also flies to Oslo five times a day on weekdays and three times a day
at the weekend.
