Sightseeing

Beautiful Bryggen, the old hanseatic wharf, is Bergen's most famous landmark. Take a walk along the old, colourful houses, and grab a bite to eat in one of the many great restaurants to be found here.

Fløyfjellet, the most popular one of the 7 mountains surrounding Bergen. Mother nature starts 5 minutes from our door, and a good 40 minute walk will get you to the stunning views at the top!

This famous, steep "railway" will get you to the top of Fløyen in an instant. I recommend walking back down, a 30-40minute walk in mother nature, and you are back down to our apartment or to the city.

Beautiful Nordnes is worth a couple of hours of strolling. Small, pittoresque houses, beautiful parks and small cafés makes Nordnes one of my favourite areas in Bergen.

This place is a time machine, and upon entering you are taken back to "Old Bergen", where time seems to have stood still since the 1800s! Highly recommended.

Faboulous italian food at a reasonable price (after norwegian standards...) await you at Leone Di Mare, a 5-10 minute walk from our doorstep!

For great tapas, Escalón is Bergen's favourite destination. I recommend simply asking the waiter for the chef's top picks, and wait for the magic to unfold.

Incredibly cosy describes this small book-café well. Every cake you get here is hand-made, the coffee tastes great and the chess boards usually have all the pieces intact. A rainy day favourite!

Arts & Culture

Bergen museum offers great works of art - I am particularly fond of the Norwegian classics of Tiedeman and Gude.

Should you need more info than I can provide (!) about the city, then the tourist office will help you out. Just by the fish market.

The fish market, among the most famous sights in the city. Norway's biggest outdoor food market! Beware though, the prices are ridiculous. A proper tourist trap!

If you get here by car, you need to park it here. Somewhat expensive (150kr/day-ish), but better than being fined.

Drinks & Nightlife

Skostredet is the street to go to for vibrant bars and cafés, for example a beer at "Roll & Rock", a bar with the interior or a 1950s american diner. Warning! Incredibly high hipster factor!

Legendary wine-bar with roots back to the 1500s. Share a bottle of red, and sit downstairs in the basement for a proper wine cellar feeling.
