Catch the bus to Bergen
Bergen is the city between seven mountains, situated in the heart of the Norwegian fjords and a hub for express buses. While the city is known for frequent rain, fortunately, there are plenty of indoor activities to enjoy here.
Idyll, life, and bustle among picturesque wooden houses.
The iconic Bryggen in Bergen is the oldest part of the city, built about 1000 years ago, and it is listed on UNESCO's World Heritage List. Additionally, this is Norway's third most visited tourist attraction, surpassed only by the Fløibanen funicular and Holmenkollen. Here, it's bustling with life, featuring small shops, galleries, and a variety of cozy eateries. From Bryggen, you can easily stroll over to the Fish Market, where you can indulge in delicacies as fresh as they come.
Bergen is a charming city, with cozy cobblestone streets, narrow alleys, and charming well-preserved old wooden houses. The city is brimming with everything from trendy coffee shops and quaint stores to exciting museums and experience centers. A plethora of festivals and concerts are organized throughout the year, placing the city on the musical world map.
The city between the seven mountains
Fløibanen takes you from the center of Bergen to the top of Mount Fløyen in only 6 minutes, which is an experience in itself. From the top, you can enjoy the view over the city, the fjord, and the beautiful landscapes of western Norway. This is also a perfect starting point for further hiking into a spectacular high-mountain nature. On paths and trails suitable for all, you can take the hike over Vidden from Fløyen to Ulriken, where Ulriksbanen provides you with a fantastic descent.
Meet the animals in Akvariet
Bring your family to Akvariet (the Aquarium in Bergen) and have a fantastic and educational day. Here, you'll encounter many creatures from tropical rainforests, coastal rocks, deep seas, and arctic regions. You'll meet the fun and adorable sea lions, penguins, otters, Filipino crocodiles, fish, and fascinating snakes. If you're interested, you can join both the seal show and penguin feeding. It's a fun and exciting experience for both the young and old.
