The Royal Residence 🇳🇴
#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.
