Fly to Bergen

If you’re highly into music and are on the look out for up-and-coming artists from the underground scene, you’d get a good travel deal with Bergen, Norway. The city is one of the more significant cultural centers in the country, and traveling to this eclectic destination during the Nattjazz and the Bergenfest (and especially during the peak of the Bergen International Festival) is a treat due to the event’s internationally-renowned mix of genres. One of the world’s pioneering orchestral institutions are also based on the city (Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra), and it is well worth your air transportation fare, if only for a view of its performance. Bergen has a recent running tradition of organizing concert festivals for months on end, so traveling during this time is highly recommended. You can also catch international music artists who have caught on to the fever that is known as the Bergen wave. Artists like R.E.M., Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, and the Foo Fighters make a great travel deal much sweeter if you manage to get an autograph. You may even thank yourself for securing your air transportation when you did if you run into any of them from the first-class section of the plane. Groupie or not, the encounter should surely please any music buff. Air transportation to Bergen usually ends up about 19 km from the city itself, at Bergen Airport Flesland. If you’re traveling from most of the major European cities, direct international flights ensure that you wouldn’t have to hop between planes. There is a shuttle service which takes you downtown in half an hour, and taxis are widely available as well. If you intend to make the most of your travel deal and enjoy the cityscape on your own, rental cars from all the major companies (AVIS, Europcar) all have headquarters at the terminal.
