2025 Bergen Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 The earth-toned wooden warehouse and the snowy blue sky are like a postcard. This is the first impression that visitors get when they first visit Bergen. Bergen is the second largest city in Norway and an important city in the Norway Miniature Tour. It has hundreds of years of long history and rich culture, and has beautiful harbor scenery surrounded by mountains and the sea. Visiting the snow-covered Bergen in winter gives you the feeling of walking into a Nordic fairy tale town, it is so beautiful. Bergen has many historical attractions, including the World Heritage Bryggen by the harbor, the oldest buildings in the area, St. Mary's Church and Bergen Fortress, the largest fish market in western Norway, the Cross Church and Bergen Cathedral on King's Street; there are also many cultural and artistic attractions, such as the National Theater, Art Gallery, Concert Hall, etc., so you won't feel bored even if you spend a whole day there. Of course, Bergen's natural scenery is also quite amazing. There are two observation decks with excellent views on the northern hillside: Panorama Fløyfjellet and Sandvikspilen. You can hike on the hiking trails or take the cable car up the mountain to overlook the city harbor, which is both vast and stunning! #NorwayTravel #NorwayTravel #Bergen

If you love Iceland, you'll definitely enjoy Norway too. Norway is a travel destination filled with natural beauty and rich culture. 1️⃣ Best Travel Time - Summer (June-August): Ideal for sightseeing with long daylight hours, perfect for hiking, and viewing fjords and natural landscapes. - Winter (December-March): Great for skiing, watching the Northern Lights, and experiencing winter activities. 2️⃣ Popular Attractions - Norwegian Fjords: Including Sognefjord, Geirangerfjord, and Lysefjord, these spectacular natural landscapes are a must-see.

#europetrip The Norwegian Fjords are a breathtaking natural wonder that must be experienced to be fully appreciated. Carved by glaciers over millions of years, these towering cliffs, deep blue waters, and picturesque villages create one of the most stunning landscapes on Earth. Among the most famous is the Geirangerfjord, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where waterfalls like the Seven Sisters cascade down jagged cliffs, creating a scene straight out of a dream. The Nærøyfjord, a narrow, dramatic waterway surrounded by steep mountains, offers equally mesmerizing views and is a popular spot for boat tours. Exploring the fjords by boat is one of the best ways to experience their grandeur. Cruise along the waters, passing tiny villages nestled between mountains, and marvel at the ever-changing scenery. Hiking opportunities abound, with trails offering panoramic views of the fjords from above. Popular hikes like the Romsdalseggen Ridge provide stunning vistas of the fjord below. In addition to the natural beauty, the fjords are home to vibrant coastal towns like Bergen and Alesund, where you can wander through colorful wooden houses and sample fresh seafood. Don’t forget to visit Flåm, a charming village at the end of the Aurlandsfjord, where the Flåmsbana Railway offers one of the steepest train journeys in the world, taking you through lush valleys and past cascading waterfalls. Whether you’re cruising on the water, hiking the rugged terrain, or simply soaking in the views, Norway’s fjords offer an unforgettable experience that will leave you in awe of nature’s splendor.

#closetonature The nature walk in the Troll Forest on Mount Fløyen is a magical experience that blends stunning scenery with a sense of adventure. Mostly flat trails but sometimes with gentle slopes, meanders through a lush, green forest with towering trees and moss-covered rocks. There are also playgrounds and slides for kids along the way, making it even more enjoyable for families. On rainy days, the misty atmosphere enhances the forest enchanting vibe. The trail going up takes around an hour or so, depending on your pace and there are rest stops for you to sit, take a break and enjoy the serene environment. Rating : 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Free admission. Quick Tips : you need to go up Mount Floyen by furnicular and from there, you can see several walking trails to choose, from easy, moderate and challenging. #100waysoftravel #myhiddengems #forest #hikingtrails

After a seven-hour train journey from Oslo, you arrive in the beautiful city of Bergen, and the sight that greets you is breathtaking. Nestled within the fjords, this city is surrounded by magnificent natural scenery. Bergen is primarily built on the fjords, so apart from the flat areas near the sea, the rest of the city is almost entirely made up of slopes, either uphill or downhill. To fully appreciate the grandeur of the fjords, I highly recommend visiting the Fløyen Panorama viewpoint. From there, you can overlook the ships entering and leaving the harbor and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the entire city. There are two ways to reach the top of Mount Fløyen: one is to hike, which takes about an hour and a half; the other is to take the funicular, which takes only ten minutes to reach the summit. My personal suggestion is to take the funicular up and then hike down, so you can fully experience the natural vegetation and scenery of the mountain. Compared to Oslo, Bergen offers more for tourists. I recommend staying in this charming city for an extra two days, leisurely strolling through its enchanting streets and savoring everything it has to offer.

#100 Ways to Travel #naturalscape We stayed in the camping area of ​​Andalsnes on July 2, 2024. We originally wanted to go directly from the camping area Andalsnes Camping & Motell ➝ (take the E136 bend 63 highway) ➝ Elf Road (about 5km) ➝ Trollstigen Utsiktpunkt viewing platform, but it is a pity. Vehicles will be prohibited from entering due to road collapse in 2024, and there is no word on when the control will last, so if you want to go to the Elf Road, you can only take a long detour! So it takes about 145km (2hr18mins), but free travel means being spontaneous, and there are long days of sunshine, so we decided to take a detour. Going to the viewing platform is really worth it! It’s so beautiful to see the spectacular switchback road with your own eyes In the past, it was a concept of going from A (Andalsnes) to B (Trollstigen Utsiktpunkt). Now I really have to go there specially to go to Trollstigen Utsiktpunkt. Because the road is impassable, I can only take Highway 63 at the other end to enter the Trollstigen Utsiktpunkt viewing platform, and then come out the same way. Go on another trip. It takes a little more time. Perhaps because of this, there are not as many tourists as expected. The parking lot of the Trollstigen Utsiktpunkt observation deck is right next to the Trollstigen Visitor Centre, and there is also Trollstigen Souvenirbutik, a souvenir shop. Walk along the wooden boardwalk next to the visitor center. The surrounding area is surrounded by wooden boardwalks erected along the glacial river. It is gentle and nice. Along the way, there is water flowing down from the glacier river, which is super clear and super cold. There is also a paddling pool where you can step into the water directly. The super comfortable building is integrated with the entire environment, super simple and beautiful. It is considered a barrier-free trail, and there is a landscape platform at the end of the boardwalk. If you want to get to the Trollstigen Utsiktpunkt observation deck, you must continue walking up the stairs next to it. This section of stairs has been specially built and is quite easy to walk. Along the way you can see the most beautiful zigzag mountain road, which is super beautiful and spectacular. At the end of the trail is Trollstigen Utsiktpunkt. The whole journey is very suitable for parents and children. We saw many Europeans carrying a baby on their backs, and then bringing a small child beside them. The children were allowed to walk along the trail, climb up and down, and even play in the water area. Play with water. Look how elegant and comfortable Europeans are when raising their children! #Norway #Elf Road #Golden Road #self-driving #free travel #parent-child travel #parent-child travel #familytravel 2024/7/3 The Path of Elves has shared several articles before, and I will integrate them again. Andalsnes ➝ (Take E136 curve 63) ➝ Elf Road (about 5km) ➝ Trollstigen Utsiktpunkt Observation Deck => This route is not accessible Change to Sylte ➝ (Take Highway 63) ➝ Trollstigen Utsiktpunkt Observation Deck (need to enter and exit the same way) Trollstigen Visitor Center Follow the wooden boardwalk next to the visitor center. The first half of the trail is barrier-free. At the end of the boardwalk, you will reach a landscape platform. There are stairs on the last section to the Trollstigen Utsiktpunkt viewing platform.

#citydaytours I had the pleasure of visiting Gamlehaugen during my summer vacation in Bergen, Norway, and it was a delightful experience. Gamlehaugen, a beautiful historic mansion, serves as the official residence of the Norwegian royal family when they visit Bergen. The entrance fee was around 100 NOK, which was well worth it for the opportunity to explore the stunning grounds and learn about its royal history. The mansion itself is an architectural gem, and the surrounding parkland is perfect for a leisurely stroll. The gardens are meticulously maintained and offer lovely views of the fjord. The guided tour was insightful, providing fascinating details about the royal family and the history of the estate. Nearby, you can visit the charming area of Bergen with its colorful Bryggen Wharf, a UNESCO World Heritage site, or take a ride on the Fløibanen funicular for panoramic views of the city and surrounding mountains. Both are great complements to a visit to Gamlehaugen. Overall, Gamlehaugen is a must-see if you're in Bergen, offering a perfect blend of history, architecture, and natural beauty. #trip #Gamlehaugen #RoyalResidence #BergenViews #HistoricNorway #FjordBeauty

If you ask me which Nordic country is the most worth visiting, it must be Norway, known as the 'Lonely Planet'. In Norway, 'people who meet will meet again' Going to Norway was originally planned for hiking and fjords, but unexpectedly, I was shocked by the fairy-tale-like dreamy beauty along the way and successfully took the cable car At the top of the mountain, I saw the pink sky and chased whales to the Arctic Circle, and waited for the aurora by the lake The snow scenery ceiling is definitely worth a look, the aftereffect is really strong Here are a few spots I think are very worth visiting: Stavanger: Although it is an old town and quite small, I personally really like the colorful streets here Fargegaten, the colorful little houses are really like a fairy tale world, and there are many museums Bergen: Strongly recommend taking the Snow Country Train, whether it's a miniature of Norway or the direct Oslo-Bergen train, the scenery on both sides is beautiful, we were lucky that day to see 'Altocumulus lenticularis' and the sunset glow was absolutely stunning Flåm Mountain Railway: Along the way, you will see waterfalls flying down from the sky, mountain streams, ribbon-like clouds, deep canyons and Norwegian forests, the huge drop brings breathtaking scenery, condensing the beauty of Norway's fjords, each frame is like a postcard Sognefjord: Norway's longest and deepest fjord, taking a cruise through it, the towering mountains on both sides and the emerald green water surface complement each other, it's incredibly beautiful, there are also three other fjords that I think are also worth visiting Trollstigen: The winding road twists and turns up along the cliff, with 11 sharp turns, known as one of the 12 most dangerous roads in the world, be sure to pay attention to safety if you go!!! This is my 7-day itinerary, I feel like I haven't seen enough and I will come back next time Day1 Oslo departure - Heddal Stave Church - Hardangervidda National Park - Stavanger Day2 Stavanger - Lysefjord - Preikestolen Day3 Bergen - Mount Fløyen - Bryggen Old Town - Fish Market Day4 Voss - Flåm - Sogndal Day5 Briksdal Glacier - Geirangerfjord Day6 Atlantic Road - Trollstigen - Atlantic Ocean Road - Finnøy Day7 Ålesund - Oslo

Today, I will take everyone to visit a village that has been recognized as a beautiful world heritage site. It is worth visiting. 🏞️ Suitable for a 2-day, 1-night trip, relaxing, walking, enjoying the view, and eating caviar. 😍 It is a very lovely city. It rains almost every day throughout the year. But luckily for me, it did not rain, but the sky was cloudy. 🥹 The colorful village sells various things, such as paintings and souvenirs. When you walk out a bit, you will see many souvenir shops. You can also ask for a refund. 🛍️ Next is the fish market. The caviar here is very cheap. You must try it. You can buy a lot to take home. 😍 Most importantly, the caviar cream is so delicious. Spread it on bread and it is the best! 🌟 Overall, this trip was very impressive. I give it 4/5 points (I have to deduct 1 point because it is a country with a high cost of living. 😅) #TravelAbroad #Travel #Norway #NorwayTravel #bergen #BergenTravel #WorldHeritageVillage

It was a vacation with family to Norway. Just to share some of the places and restaurants that I’ve visited and enjoyed the most. Norway was truly a beautiful country. We were in a group of 4 and we visited many places. One of our most favorite place to visit was Mount Floyen. We took the Fløibanen funicular up all the way to the top and walk to central Bergen. It is definitely worth to go up to the top as you can see very amazing view 💯 If you were given a chance, do remember to pick the front seat so that you can capture best pictures without having people blocking in the front 🤣 They opened from 8am to 11pm everyday. Instead of buying the ticket online, we bought the ticket on spot via the kiosk machine. One way journey took about 15 minutes and it was around 85Krone, return costs about 160Krone. It is definitely worth to visit 🥰 Mount Floyen 📍5014 Bergen, Norway Our second favorite spot to visit in Norway was Kode Museum. This museum really amazed us! It is one of the biggest museum in Nordic region. The museum was made up of 4 different buildings and there were a lot of things to see, from art and crafts to music etc. We spent half days walking around the museum and we have learned and understand many history behind all the objects and Norway. They opened on Tuesday to Sunday from 11am to 4pm. Our tickets were 480Krones (for 4pax). We really enjoy visiting Kode Museum 🥰 Kode Musuem 📍 Nordahl Bruns gate 9, 5014 Bergen, Norway Just to share my favorite restaurant in Norway before I wrap up this post. I really enjoyed eating the Norwegian local cuisine. my favorite shop in Bergen was Pingvinen. The restaurant itself is small and menu were very limited. But all the items that we tried were very delicious. P/s: the portion is very big as well. Every dish came with their unique sauce. We visited the restaurant two times in a row 🤣The price was considered affordable. We ordered all the seafood items available from the menu and all were delicious, especially their fish 💯Please check it out if you’re around Bergen area. (Their service was very good too 🥰) Pingvinen 📍 Vaskerelven 14, 5014 Bergen, Norway #Holiday #vacation #Relax

Tourist attraction: Bergen, Europe Attraction introduction: Norway is full of fairy-tale-like miniatures. I personally feel that small towns are more charming than bustling big cities. If you have a day in Bergen, you must leave it to Mount Fløyen! Although everyone will take the cable car to watch the sunset, strolling slowly on the mountain makes people feel worthwhile, with a dreamy forest and a lake like an oil painting Daily

#fallingseason Norway is a country with full of strong landscape and powerful nature. In Norway , you can see different kinds of mountains and which surrounding by the lake. Recently, I have visited Bergen again and I found out there’s more things to see than I imagine! For example, the colourful house located in the city centre , some apartment house on the hill which was covered with snow. They are just gorgeous! #境外遊 #nature #tripcom #landscape

Bergen is one of the popular place that people often visit when they going to Norway. The view is spectacular in here and you can see the mountain covered with snow. It is just like a dream when you standing there and look at those mountain. Moreover, the Ulriken mountain is a famous spot to see the whole view of Norway and you can choose either walking or taking the cable car. I recommend taking cable car as the floor is slippery during the winter! #境外遊 #Norway

As the title suggest, visiting Bergen was definitely a bucket list for me. I had no regrets visiting Bergen at all. The skyline of the city is beautiful, something I have not experienced before, the city is clean and the food is just so delicious. The architecture is very pretty, very European styled buildings. A worthy trip for an appreciation of European Culture!

Bergen is a small.and walkable city. We experienced Rain, cloudy and sunny in our 5 days trip there. The people there mostly quite friendly n chill..Will definitely go back again . We took the Fjord cruise twice, one in a rainy morning and the other one was 6-9pm to catch the midnight. The view are magnificent, you need to be there yourself to see n feel it. Cable all the way up to see the whole view of Bergen from the top of the mountain.

Fish market is one of the well known place in Bergen and here you can explore lots of fishes which were caught in Norway . For example, salmon, crabs, cod , etc. The price is affordable and I ordered the sushi which was fantastic and delicious. Moreover, the Bergen fish soup was absolutely creamy and have lots of favour. This is a must go place and you can just enjoy the food and the river view when you having the meal. #awesomepic #norway

Bergen is the second largest city in Norway and also as known as the city between the seven mountains. The city Is full of beautiful houses and lots of different colours. This is like a art painting! The night view in Floyen is absolutely stunning and spectacular. If you want to see the nature beauty, Ulriken643 is also one of the mountain place you have to go! How to get to Bergen: by train from Oslo or train from different city in Sweden or Norway. #norway #境外遊 #awesomepic

Stay at Moxy Bergen for three nights (21-24 April 2023). The hotel is located in Bergen, the second largest city in Norway, facing the beautiful seaside promenade. You can take the Line 1 light rail to the train station and the airport, and it is very convenient to reach the city center in four stops. It is really hard to find such a new hotel in high-cost Northern Europe. There is a Chinese restaurant opened by a Hong Konger near the hotel that is worth recommending #外游#家庭好去地方#foodie#travel#到玩酒店

Norway 🇳🇴 Attractions - Troll Village There is a lovely spot here in central Norway Here is a camping area named after the Norwegian Troll Nearby place names are also named after Troll You have to go through the winding Trollstigen to see the beautiful scenery when you go up the mountain There is also a big waterfall on the way next to the road It's a pity that the weather was not beautiful that day and could not show the magnificent scenery Norway 🇳🇴 Attractions - Troll Village There is a lovely spot here in central Norway Here is a camping area named after the Norwegian Troll Nearby place names are also named after Troll You have to go through the winding Trollstigen to see the beautiful scenery when you go up the mountain There is also a big waterfall on the way next to the road It's a pity that the weather was not beautiful that day and could not show the magnificent scenery

Getting There - we flew to Oslo for a few days then took the Vy train to Bergen. this was a heck of a journey, but worth every minute of the 9 hours it took! the scenery is out of this world and a proper bucket list moment. Attractions - not a huge amount to do in Bergen, but I'd recommend the Fløyen funicular. the top of the mountain has amazing views over the fjords and city, as well as a fun park for kids, a place to eat plus lovely woodland walks (beware the trolls!) Hotels - Scandic Torget is a good value, clean hotel with a great location and delicious breakfast. be aware that the front facing rooms can get really noisy late at night. Food & Restaurants - this was a tricky one! it was Easter weekend so hardly anything was open. that said, we did eat at the fish market, which is expensive but excellent. you also have to try the reindeer sausage from the hot dog stall in the old town. Shopping - again, nothing was open due to the water holiday, but there are lots of very nice shopping areas and malls. #foodie

From Oslo central station to Bergen along the Bergen line has to be one of the most beautiful train journeys in the world , with four daily departures from Oslo central station and a journey time of six and a half hours the train takes you through one of Europes highest mountain plateaus as well as Forrest’s , fjords and glaciers . I recommend buying tickets in advance on the Vy train app as you can get a bargain price train ticket mine cost £67 for a plus seat with complimentary tea and coffee and a comfy seat with more leg room. Another tip when travelling from Oslo a seat on the right of the train is better for taking pictures as the most epic scenery can be found on that side 👌

If you want amazing views over Bergen and the surrounding areas mount ulriken is a 1,300 step hike to the top but totally worth it , the scenery and views are stunning . And if you don’t fancy using your legs, a cable car can be caught from either the top or bottom , I walked down and got the cable car up 😁

this is Bergen Norway! recently they have opened their Christmas market. it is quiet small but the ambiance is amazing and they have wide section of food that you could dig into. norway is a pricey compared to any other countries in Europe but its definitely worth visiting ! :)

Founded in 1070, Bergen is the second largest city in Norway. It is located on the steep fjord line on the west coast of Norway, leaning against the harbor and seven hills. The city is close to the blue bay and directly connected to the Atlantic Ocean. It is a beautiful harbor city. Bergen is a rainy area due to the warm winds caused by the Mexican warm current. In 2000 Bergen was selected as one of the nine European Cities of Culture. Its charm is on display in theatre, dance, music, art, food and exhibitions. Bergen's main buildings, tourist areas and tourist service centers are all near the Bryggen port. In the north, there are ancient buildings from the medieval Hanseatic League era, and in the south are modern shopping streets. Bergen is one of the main ports of call for many Nordic and Arctic cruise routes. It has a large number of tourists, especially Chinese tourists, who often visit here to check in. Therefore, the prices at the seafood stalls near the Bryggen Pier are extremely high. #Overseas travel #Norway travel #Norway tourism #Norway scenery #Norway attractions #Norway fjords #I miss Norway so much #city #seafood #norway
