BERGEN
Welcome to Norway! Bergen is a beautiful city with a quaint historic harbor at its heart. Your guides will greet you at our home for the weekend, Villa Terminus, which is an exclusive-use villa perfectly situated in a cozy corner of Bergen just off the train line! We will have a relaxed afternoon to explore Bergen, a welcome dinner at one of the local charming restaurants and then off to bed for warm and woolly dreams!
From our home base, we will be joined by a local guide and fellow knitter to get our bearings with a walking tour of Bergen, which includes visits to the local yarn shops of course! After we've soaked up all of the city's splendor, it is time to dive headfirst into Norway's yarn culture at Bergen Strikkefestival! We will have all of Saturday to enjoy Bergen's annual knitting festival, situated in the historic knitting mill Salhus Tricotagefabrik. There are yarn makers and dyers from all over Norway, as well as a knitting lounge and lectures. Who knows, maybe you'll find some gorgeous Norwegian yarn to cast on for our train journey tomorrow?
