Stroll through the old and picturesque quarter of Bryggen, a UNSESCO World Heritage Site, and you will feel yourself transported back in time. And yet, just a few minutes away you can find the pulsating center of a modern city with its numerous offers; restaurants, art galleries, shopping streets – even penguins in the famous Bergen Aquarium! In the heart of the city you will also find the renowned fish market where you can enjoy all kinds of local culinary delicacies. 

Situated at the shores of the Byfjord and surrounded by seven mountains, two of them easily accessible by cable car, Bergen also offers a spectacular natural scenery. Known as “the Gateway to the Fjords”, the city is an ideal starting point for outdoor activities of all kinds. It is also a perfect starting point for both day trips and longer holidays in Norway.

Bergen is a unique city which offers unforgettable experiences.  Come to Bergen, and you will soon understand why the inhabitants of Bergen proudly say: “I’m not just from Norway – I am from Bergen “.

Attractions in Bergen

Experience the top tourist attractions of Bergen, the city called “The Gateway to the Fjords”. Visit Bergen’s must-see attractions -- like the colourful old houses of Bryggen -- and travel to the surrounding mountains and fjords of western Norway with a custom itinerary designed by the Norwegian travel experts at Nordic Visitor.

Visit Bergen's top tourist attractions

Top things to see and do in bergen.

As Norway’s second largest city, with a history stretching back to 1070 AD, Bergen has tourist attractions to suit all tastes.

One of Bergen’s must-see attractions is without a doubt Bryggen , the old wharf that’s famous for its picture-perfect row of colourful wooden houses. Once an important Hanseatic trading centre in medieval times, Bryggen is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and hosts the small Bryggen Museum along with numerous restaurants and shops.

Another of Bergen’s top attractions is the bustling Fish Market (Fisketorget) , a place to gather among the locals and sample fresh seafood or buy Norwegian handicrafts. Other popular cultural attractions in Bergen’s city centre include the Bergen Museum with its fascinating historical and maritime exhibits, the medieval Bergenhus fortress and the KODE art museums , the largest collection of art, design and music in Scandinavia. Classical musical lovers may also wish to visit Troldhaugen , the late-19th century home of composer Edvard Grieg.

Surrounded by mountains and located nearby Sognefjord, Norway’s longest and deepest fjord, Bergen is also a dream for active travellers and nature lovers. For the best panoramic views, travel up the Fløibanen Funicular from the city centre to Mount Fløyen and enjoy a walk in the nearby woods. Or take the Ulriksbanen cable cars to the top of Ulriken , the highest of Bergen’s seven hills, for a refreshing hike with great views.

Getting to Bergen & The Norwegian Fjords

As Bergen is nicknamed “The Gateway to the Fjords”, it’s no surprise that this city is a popular overnight destination in trips to western Norway. If you’re arriving to Oslo International Airport, there are a few different options for travelling to Bergen and top-rated attractions nearby :

  • By air : Bergen Airport is served by a small number of European airlines, including Norwegian and SAS. Flights from Oslo take 55 minutes.
  • By car : May through September is the best time for a road trip around the Bergen area, especially if you want to do some hiking at places like Pulpit Rock or Trolltunga. From Oslo you could do a self-drive tour in about a week, though we highly recommend 10 days or longer for exploring the fjords and west coast at a more relaxed pace.
  • By train: The popular Norway in a Nutshell train journey from Oslo to Bergen is available year-round from Nordic Visitor. This route includes a short fjord cruise on Nærøyfjord and travel by train on the Bergen Railway and the mountainous Flåm Railway. Extra overnights in Bergen or in the small fjord village of Flåm are available.

Don’t want to travel to Bergen and the fjords on your own? Nordic Visitor’s summertime Guided Small Group Tours in Norway are another great option.

Sail from Bergen along Norway's West Coast

Bergen is the southern end of the Havila and Hurtigruten coastal cruise , which follows the beautiful coastline to the city of Kirkenes in northern Norway. This famously scenic voyage is a wonderful way to experience Bergen’s top sights and other major tourist attractions on the west coast. Cruises are available year-round and include stops at 34 ports of call, including Trondheim, Ålesund and the Lofoten Islands. Since it’s possible to start and end the cruise at different ports, going either southbound or northbound, many of Nordic Visitor’s fjord tours combine journeys by train and cruise in itineraries ranging from 7 to 14 days.

Though many of Nordic Visitor’s tours start from Oslo, we can modify your itinerary to start from Bergen. Get in touch with our friendly travel experts to start planning your dream trip to Bergen and the nearby fjords.

Christin, United States

Best of northern norway classic - 71° north cape, december 2023.

The tour was perfect and went smoothly the entire time. Communication from Nordic Visitor was timely and detailed. Would book with this tour company again.

Ian, United Kingdom

Norway road trip - complete, july 2023, memories we'll cherish forever.

We found Norway to be a fabulous country and enjoyed every minute of our trip. The scenery was fantastic, the places visited were brilliant and the people were incredibly friendly and helpful. The information pack provided by Nordic Visitor was invaluable, the route chosen for us was superb and the places we stayed in were great. Likewise, the excursions offered, especially the Rib Safari were fantastic and gave us memories we'll cherish forever. Lastly, but by no means least, Irja, our travel consultant, couldn't have been more helpful and I would like to extend a huge thank you to her for all that she did.

Anne-Mari, Finland

Best of northern norway classic - 71° north cape, february 2023, unforgettable in so many ways.

It was unforgettable in so many ways, highlights after highlights. We knew to expect a lot after our trip to Iceland a couple of years ago, also organised by Nordic Visitor. Our expectations were exceeded and more. We saw northern lights three times, the food everywhere was excellent, experienced dog sledding in the moonlight and sleeping in the SnowHotel, and we saw a white reindeer! How lucky we are to have experienced all that. We have now returned home, happy and full of awe.

James, Australia

Northern lights by train and cruise, october 2023, a great experience.

Very well-organised tour and a great experience. Nordic Visitor were very professional and their experience was evident in choosing the well-located and comfortable accommodation they selected for us. Best of all we got to see the northern lights!

Jonathan, United States

Norway fjord route by car - classic, june 2023, incredibly happy.

Our travel agent, Małgorzata, was amazing to work with! She was able to add a few extra days in Oslo and arranged transportation via train to Bergen. Overall, I thought booking this vacation online and making payments was seamless. All the hotels we stayed in were nice, clean and safe! We loved the breakfast buffets, they were top notch! Also, collecting our rental car and navigating in a foreign country was seamless. We are incredibly happy that our tour package that we received at our first hotel included a physical map that had our tour highlighted.

Costel, Romania

Northern lights norway classic, february 2023, i'll be recommending nordic visitor to my friends.

The trip was really amazing. We had an absolutely superb time in Tromsø; hotel and excursions were spot on. The guide and whole the staff was really professional. Professional photos taken by the guide were really fantastic. They gave us excellent care, more than what we have experienced on any trip. Our favourite experience was the snowmobile, but catamaran trip was great too. Certainly I will be recommending it to my friends. I was very pleased that those who delivered the services showed a lot of professionalism.

Violetta, United States

Best of the norwegian fjords – express, august 2023, very satisfied customer.

This was my second experience using Nordic Visitor. I am a very satisfied customer. A few years ago we did a self-drive tour of Iceland that was just amazing. This time we did a train/cruise combo tour of Norway. Once again, I can only say you will have a fantastic experience and you will appreciate the labuor of organising and planning being handled by experts who know what they are doing. The cruises through the fjords were beautiful as were the train trips. We loved the combination of train and boat travel as each offered distinct beauty from a different perspective. The country is truly lovely and we look forward to booking future travel with Nordic Visitor!

Dian, United States

Classic norway, may 2023, extraordinary.

Extraordinary! Everything went off as planned without a hitch. Our travel guide, Juliana, was exceptional, very responsive in answering our questions and providing updates.

Oi, Singapore

Norway in a nutshell® - classic, september 2022, very satisfied with nordic visitor.

We were very satisfied with the tour and overall experience with Nordic Visitor. The hotels were strategically chosen and the quality of hotels was satisfactory. The optional tours were also highly recommended. Timings of the schedules throughout the tour were ideal and not rushed.

Julie, United States

Wonders of the norwegian fjords, august 2023, best vacation we ever had.

Our family of 5 (3 adult children) loved our Norway fjord tour. We saw the most beautiful scenery and loved each hotel. The food was delicious. Something for everyone. Our guide Al and driver Chris kept things running smoothly. We will have memories to last a lifetime. Thank you Nordic Visitor. Best vacation we ever had!

Alan, United Kingdom

Norway in a nutshell® express - winter, march 2023, an excellent decision to book with nordic visitor.

Following research, we decided to book with Nordic Visitor. This was an excellent decision. The booking process was easy and informative and Hanna was always available for guidance. The accommodation provided was top class and, importantly, convenient to the train stations from which we travelled. Our tour was amazing throughout with stunning scenery and sights.

Gailmarie, United States

Highlights of norway, july 2022, the tour gives you a fabulous overview of norway.

The tour gives you a fabulous overview of Norway. We did a lot of travel in between sights but this enabled us to have a real breadth of experience, from fjords to mountain passes, railway adventures and small boats. Our tour guide was excellent and the sights and experiences outlined for us were top-notch. The materials provided about our tour were excellent and well thought out.

Fjord Cruises from Bergen

See all the ways you can experience the Norwegian fjords from the charming city of Bergen, from two hours to full days. Explore the fjords in a number of ways, from traditional sailboats to hyper-modern zero-emission vessels. There are many reasons why Bergen is one of Norway’s most popular tourist destinations, the main ones being the historic UNESCO-listed town center with its stunning architecture, and the city’s role as a «gateway to the fjords».

With no shortage of water around, from the Norwegian Sea to the famous fjords of the Vestlandet region; the mighty Sognefjorden, the UNESCO listed Nærøyfjorden, and the attractive Hardangerfjord you can find your fjord adventure around Bergen here!

Fjord Tours offers the «world’s most popular Norway tour», the Norway in a nutshell® tour that brings you from Bergen by train to Myrdal where you board one of the most scenic railways, the Flåm Railway. From the town of Flåm you enjoy a cruise on a silent, low-emission catamaran on the Aurlandsfjord and the unique Nærøyfjord.

The Sognefjord in a nutshell and the Hardangerfjord in a nutshell (without the Flåm Railway) are other variations that offer each its own way to cruise the fjords. If a day trip is not on your schedule, shorter cruises like a 2h sailboat cruise or the popular 3h cruise to Mostraumen from the port of Bergen are great alternatives.

37 Fun Things to Do in Bergen, Norway

things to do in Bergen

  • 2 Pinterest

Jutting out into the water, surrounded by fjords and a famous family of seven mountains that soar upwards as if constructed by some ancient Norse gods, Bergen is one town where you’ll never run out of great visuals.

But of course, there’s more to do than just stare at all the scenery!

For starters, you can get out into some of those beautiful spots, whether you’re biking, sailing, or strolling around.

And if the weather’s not fitting your fancy, you can always head inside, and enjoy your pick of restaurants, museums, and bars – including one made entirely of ice!

But no matter the season, you’ll find such amazing things to do in Bergen that you’ll never want to leave this Norwegian treasure… so let’s get started!

1 – Take a look around Bryggen

Bryggen, Bergen

First and foremost, this is a shipping town; it was once among the biggest shipping ports in Northern Europe!

And it only takes a short stroll to this historic harborside neighborhood – or better yet, a walking tour – to see the impact of this industry.

Row after row of colorful houses beckon visitors to explore showing off a proud history of life and business that has been going strong for nearly 1,000 years.

This was once the main commercial hub of town, with piers and shops filled with merchants busily developing a major fishing trade.

Ironically, this watery spot has suffered through several fires; and while most of the buildings today have been reconstructed after various infernos, the beauty and cheery charm is the same!

  • walking tours in Bergen

2 – Hang out with the creatures of the deep at the Bergen Aquarium

Bergen Aquarium

Now that you’ve gotten acquainted with the main part of the sea, come and meet some of the creatures that live in it… here and around the world!

Tropical treasures and awesome Antarctic animals await you at the Bergen Aquarium , where more than 400 species show off the miraculous details of underwater life.

Gaze at the explosion of color and life in the expansive tropical section, where vivid fish can be seen alongside some of their insect and reptile neighbors, from spiders to crocodiles.

Then wander outside for a glimpse of penguins and sea lions lounging about in the open air… and maybe performing a trick or two!

You won’t need to hold your breath to see these aquatic delights… but they might take your breath away!

3 – Get an equal dose of war and peace at Bergenhus Fortress

Bergenhus Fortress, Bergen

Despite its relatively simple facade, this was once a major defensive structure in the city – although it only got put to use a couple of times!

While it was developed in the 1500s, it wasn’t until 1665 that it received its first attack in the form of a Dutch naval fleet.

Centuries later, it was called back into action during World War II, this time as a base for invading German forces.

And to this day, it still serves as an active office for the local military and civilians alike, as well as a point of interest with commanding views.

It’s also undergone another evolution, becoming a popular venue for concerts and festivals; and whether you’re here for a show or just to take in the rich history of the place, you’re sure to be dazzled!

4 – Admire every aspect of Rosenkrantz Tower

Rosenkrantz Tower, Bergen

And going even further back in time, there’s this marvelous Renaissance relic, where you can step straight into the days of yore.

In the 1270s, King Magnus the Lawmender had the fortified structure built as his private residence, and you can still visit the original chapel and bedroom from his time there.

But it’s also been rebuilt several times over the years, as various nobles used it for defensive and political purposes.

And today, you can still see all of the key points of a hip and happening castle, including cannons, royal halls, and even a dungeon for rowdy guests!

But of course, the tower is still the main attraction, and a striking testament to the societal shifts of the city, from political battles to a brief period of Danish rule.

5 – Ride the Fløibanen Funicular up to explore Mount Fløyen

Mount Fløyen, Bergen

The only thing better than a nice view is an adventure to the top… especially if you can take an unusual vehicle to get there!

Mount Fløyen is one of the closest peaks to town, with some spectacular views and a series of trails perfect for an invigorating hike in the fresh air.

But if you want to save your legs (or just try an iconic attraction), you can take a load off your feet with a ride on Fløibanen , the popular funicular that cruises right up the side of the slope.

Ever since it opened in 1918, this charming mode of transit has carried millions of adventurers up to the peak in a lovely, leisurely fashion, where you can slowly watch the views shift from outside your window.

And once you’ve enjoyed all of the trekking, downtime in the cafe, or taken a peek at the resident goats , you can see the gorgeous terrain in reverse with an equally lovely ride back down!

6 – Take in the town in an unusual form with some segway tours

segway tours in Bergen

At any hour of the day, you can enjoy the thrills of a segway tour… all you need is a sense of balance and a sense of adventure!

These zippy vehicles will make it easier than ever to explore all the coolest corners of town; one minute you’ll be nibbling on the unusual offerings of the fish market (see #7), and the next, you’ll be puttering past the harbor or traversing old, winding streets.

And if you want to really make the most of your time in town, you can even take on an evening excursion, and watch the lingering colors of dusk and nighttime shift the whole perspective of the town!

  • segway tours in Bergen

7 – Shop around at the Fish Market

Fish Market, Bergen

You may smell this place before you see it… but just wait until you taste what’s in store!

After all, a visit to this bustling hub of fresh seafood is one of the most beloved things to do in Bergen for a reason; it’s got some of the best snacks in town!

For roughly 800 years, this has been the place to go to evaluate the best specimens pulled from the sea; and it only takes a short stroll between the stalls to get caught up in the excitement!

Amidst the joyful clamor of vendors and fishers hawking their wares, you can try classics like lobster, crab legs, and fish cakes, plus some more unusual offerings like cod tongue.

And if you want to savor the experience a little more, settle in at one of the nearby restaurants and work your way through some of the expertly prepared dishes.

This is one place that’s a little fishy in the best possible way!

8 – Enjoy the visuals of St. Mary’s Church

St. Mary's Church, Bergen

As both the city’s oldest building and one of its most beautiful, the church has long been a place of reflection and worship… and even some excitement!

It was built some time in the early 1100s, and stayed a stalwart house of worship through fires, refurbishments, and more, with its massive basilica and stunning altar showing off hundreds of years of artwork.

Along with its impressive age, there are tons of little details that reward the curious traveler; check out the lovingly preserved gravestones of clergy and sailors that once lived here, or the impressive sculpted figures of Moses, Paul, John the Baptist, and the Twelve Disciples.

And when the notes start bellowing from the resident organ, you’ll feel as though you’re transported to another realm entirely!

9 – Make the world your laboratory at VilVite – Bergen Science Center

VilVite, Bergen

Bring out your sense of wonder, and tell your curious spirit to come along – you’ll need them both at VilVite !

In this amazing, hyper-interactive museum, you’ll find endlessly fascinating exhibits covering all the excitement of the universe, from the depths of the sea and the natural riches of the planet to the ever-changing wonders of energy and technology.

Explore the wonderful weirdness of the human body, tinker with the different parts of various ecosystems, or play engineer and try out small-scale versions of hydroelectric power.

And throughout your visit, you’ll be encouraged to touch, pull, push, and fully explore every exhibit… that’s half the fun!

10 – Soak up endless artistic goodies at the KODE Museums

KODE Museums, Bergen

Creativity is very much a part of the city’s infrastructure – after all, this is the birthplace of the composer Edvard Grieg, and the home of many other geniuses of art and music.

And at the KODE Museums , you can really experience this legacy in-depth…. and at length!

This magnificent complex is made up of three composer’s homes and four unique art galleries, providing an amazing insight into both the minds of geniuses and the works they produce.

Step into the minds of Harald Sæverud and Edvard Grieg as you explore the rooms in which they lived and worked, then step into the art galleries and admire paintings, fine crafts, and even pieces of furniture.

From the portraits of Edvard Munch and an astounding collection of silver pieces, it’s a wonderful celebration of culture in all its forms!

11 – Meet the man behind the tunes at Troldhaugen

Troldhaugen, Bergen

And if you want to focus more on Grieg specifically, spend some time exploring his house at length – and his musical legacy!

For 22 years, this lovely residence was where the musician lived and worked, producing many of his greatest hits, including “In The Hall Of The Mountain King” and several concertos.

And during your visit, you won’t just get to see the simple hut and walk in the footsteps of a genius… you might get to hear some of his works!

In a fitting tribute to this musical mastermind, the on-site concert hall frequently hosts productions of his greatest pieces… and there’s nothing quite like hearing them live!

12 – See the city your own way with some hop on hop off bus tours

bus tours in Bergen

This is certainly a city that doesn’t skimp on the beauty, and there’s nothing like a bus tour to see it all… especially one where you can choose which stops to linger at! NOPE

As you putter past all of the best museums and scenic spots, you can disembark at any stops that appeal to you, explore at length, and then catch the next bus that comes by.

With guided commentary on-board and flexible schedules, you can always count on a great excursion!

  • bus tours in Bergen

13 – Take another memorable mountain trip aboard the Ulriken cablecar….

Ulriken, Bergen

There’s more than one way to reach the top… and that’s a literal statement in this town!

Much like the funicular (see #5), the Ulriken cable car takes you on a scenic ride up a peak – in this case, the picturesque Mount Ulriken.

But you’ll get to go even higher this time, because rather than running upwards on the ground, your vehicle will soar through the air – 643 meters (2,109 feet) in the air, in fact!

See the terrain evolving below you, then disembark on the top and do a bit of hiking or eating – and spend plenty of time looking out at the world below!

14 – … Or stick to the water with some boat tours

boat tours in Bergen

In a town as water-loving as this one, you’ll want to get out and explore the nautical way – and there are certainly plenty of boat tours to get you started!

Sail through the breathtaking Mostraumen Fjord (see #16), surrounded on every side by mountains and cascading waterfalls.

Or stay closer to town with a quirky historical cruise, where you’ll climb aboard a traditional-style sailing vessel and enjoy a scenic tour of the harbor… and a taste of Viking life!

You can even up the adrenaline with some jet boat tours , where you’ll bounce through the fjords at top speed… and still see lots!

These are especially fun options for getting out into the wilderness, as you whoosh through the rugged, watery paths of the fjords, and enjoy a real up-close experience of the land around you.

  • boat tours in Bergen

15 – Savor the legacy of the Fantoft Stave Church

Fantoft Stave Church, Bergen

With a distinctive style and a perfect dose of Nordic charm, this church is more than just a religious site… it’s a vibrant piece of a past world!

Stave churches were one of the earliest architectural methods, and this intricately layered building, which was originally created in 1170, is a prime example.

For centuries, it served both as a religious institution and a relic of one of the oldest eras of construction in the region; but unfortunately, it also fell victim to the same fate as many of the other wooden buildings in town, when it burned to the ground in 1992.

This loving reconstruction pays exact homage to the original, offering the chance to see how some of the area’s earliest worshippers created their refuges.

16 – Marvel at the Mostraumen Fjord

Mostraumen Fjord, Norway

And speaking of those natural wonders….

Mostraumen Fjord is one of the most spectacular natural sights in town – and that’s saying something!

Just a short boat ride from town, it’s the perfect spot for a scenic cruise, and every second of that trip is defined by the stark beauty of nature… even before you reach the fjord itself!

Wind your way through stunning cliffs, watching the scenery shift around you, one dazzling view at a time.

And at the end, you’ll get a particularly memorable souvenir: a blast of refreshing Arctic water from the nearby falls!

  • Mostraumen Fjord tours

17 – Get a taste of the sailor’s world at the Bergen Maritime Museum

Bergen Maritime Museum

Getting back to seafaring life, we have the boats, battles, and businesses of the Bergen Maritime Museum … not to mention the stories of the sailors that plied these waters!

For two thousand years, the waters around town have been the home of triumph and tragedy, with all the major economic moments of human history mapped out on their waves.

Watch a reenactment of a Viking burial, admire every angle of an ancient Oseberg ship, and enjoy the intricacy of several little models… then stroll through some larger versions of the cabins!

You’ll also get plenty of opportunities to celebrate the many sailors that ran these vessels, including deep dives into LGBTQ identities and other marginalized groups that made a life on the sea.

18 – Nosh to your heart’s content on some food tours

food tours in Bergen

Norwegian cuisine may not be as commonly known, but you’ll certainly be singing its praises after a few food tours!

Nutrition and culture go hand in hand here, and each jaunt offers a different perspective into both – but all of them are equally delicious!

Of course, seafood is the big excitement here; whether you’re getting it fresh from the stalls at the fish market (see #7) or trying out one of the many little restaurants around town, you’ll get a heaping helping of oceanic treats.

But there are all sorts of other delicacies to try, from scrumptious goat cheese to mouthwatering desserts.

The hardest part will be leaving room for it all!

  • food tours in Bergen

19 – Enjoy a historic hangout at the Hanseatic Museum

Hanseatic Museum, Bergen

When we talk about “old town” here, we mean really old!

After all, people have been doing business here for hundreds of years, and at the Hanseatic Museum , you’ll get to see that process that up close!

The streets that you’re strolling here may look a little unusual, but that’s probably because they’re a perfect reconstruction of the trading quarter of town, where much of the commerce took place from the 1300s to the 1700s.

This was the heyday of the Hanseatic League, a prominent group of German traders who ran the show when it came to shipping goods.

As you wander into various buildings, you can see exactly how merchants ran their businesses, trading fish, grains, and other goods in the rapidly growing economy of Northern Europe.

There are few better ways to enjoy an immersive look at the past!

20 – Stroll around Festplassen

Festplassen, Bergen

This is a town that certainly knows how to party… in the traditional way, that is!

Right in the middle of town, this cheery public square is best known as one of the main forums for festivals, celebrations, and all sorts of events throughout the year; you never know when you’ll catch a beautiful public art project or an energetic concert filling the air with tunes!

And even if you arrive between major events, you can always count on this place to offer up some fun; from shows in the marvelous outdoor theater to gorgeous views of the nearby lake, this is a public venue for the masses.

21 – Go kayaking

kayaking near Bergen

Let’s face it: many of the best things to do in Bergen involve the water. So why not take the reins yourself…. Or rather, the paddle?

If you want to get even more into the wilderness and get to know the water along the way, then kayaking tours are the way to go!

Float along on the open sea, visiting little islands and enjoying new perspectives on the dazzling mountains. Or swap out the waves for some whitewater, and bounce along winding river currents, adding a bit of adrenaline to your journey.

This is one excursion that really makes a “splash”!

  • kayaking near Bergen

22 – Frolic in Flåm

Flåm, Norway

Head a little bit outside of town, and you’ll find a serene hamlet that shows off the very best of rural Norwegian life… with plenty of charm all its own!

With sights worthy of any picture book and a charming atmosphere, Flåm is perhaps most famous for its scenic railway; but whether you’re traveling by train, boat, car, or foot, you’ll be totally dazzled by the sights around you!

Stroll through the lovely little village and gaze out at mountains and fjords, or stop by the museum that covers the fascinating story of the beautiful trains and steep tracks that have helped determine the fortunes of the town.

You may just be tempted to go house-hunting as you wander through this quaint hamlet!

  • Flåm tours from Bergen

23 – Get a little awestruck at Sognefjord

Sognefjord, Norway

And while you’re in the neighborhood, you can’t miss out on one of the most famous natural views around: Sognefjord!

As both the longest and deepest fjord in the nation, this spot is an unmissable stunner, and the perfect place to enjoy the epic landscapes (and seascapes) that have made the region so famous.

You’ll also get to pay a visit to some of the earliest settlements around here, including Gudvangen , a village of grassy roofs and lovely little homes tha dates all the way back to the Viking era.

You’ll get a hearty dose of all the things that make this area so beloved – past and present!

  • Sognefjord tours from Bergen

24 – Roll your way to some gorgeous spots on a few bike tours

bike tours near Bergen

Out on the road or deep in the forest, you’ll get to enjoy the fresh air and remarkable sights of bike tours!

When you’re pedaling around, you can enjoy a whole new range of delightful adventures, especially as you head a little ways out of town to enjoy the rural areas.

And if you really want to get into nature, grab a mountain bike and get acquainted with the stark beauty of the Voss Forest!

Winding paths, dense groves of rustling trees, and even some secret swimming holes lie in wait, making every turn an adventure… and you’ll quickly see how this sport became so popular!

  • bike tours near Bergen

25 – Learn more about the sea (and the humans that work there) at the Norway Fisheries Museum

Norway Fisheries Museum, Bergen

It’s one thing to taste great seafood – it’s another thing to learn about what goes into producing it!

You can more or less trace the entire history of Norway through its aquatic activities, and what makes this institution one of the coolest things to do in Bergen is the way in which it lets you interact with every aspect of the business.

You’ll get right into the thick of one of the country’s most exciting industries, learning all about the ships and technology involved in the process,  and exploring unique habitats of the many diverse species that eventually end up in the net.

You can even try a little bit of (simulated) fishing yourself!

And in between immersive peeks onto boats or beneath the waves, you can learn all about the unique human experiences tied into this popular business, from the controversial practice of seal hunting to the exciting process of raising salmon… some of which you can even feed!

26 – Take a peek into politics at Gamlehaugen

Gamlehaugen, Bergen

If ritzy residences are more your style, then don’t miss out on this place – after all, it’s literally fit for a king!

Norway’s monarch calls this splendid castle home when he’s in town, and from its lavish staterooms to the gorgeous gardens on the outside, every part of it is focused on beauty; but it’s also been the home of some pretty significant national events!

While it came on the scene in 1899, the building is modeled after older Renaissance works, with a little bit of Art Nouveau thrown in.

The result is a striking palace that has been the site of many important political moments, and hosted Prime Ministers and royals… and plenty of visiting guests!

Take a look at the former office of Prime Minister Christen Michelsen, who helped guide the nation into an independent form as it separated from Sweden; then head out to the park to enjoy a bit of swimming or sauntering around!

27 – Enjoy another memorable slice of the great outdoors at Hardangerfjord

Hardangerfjord, Norway

Never mind what the song said… on a trip to Hardangerfjord, you can go chasing waterfalls!

In fact, that’s part of the whole idea, because the path to this stunning monument is filled with gorgeous cascades and patches of woodland that create an utterly charming adventure.

And of course, you’ll feel even more rewarded once you reach the fjord yourself, the third-longest in the world… and certainly one of the most stunning!

If the cliffs and the water don’t enchant you, the glistening glacier certainly will – not to mention the splendid farms and fruit orchards that add depth and charm to the area.

Be sure to sample some of that environmental richness with a refreshing glass of the famous local cider!

28 – See the world like a diorama on a seaplane tour

seaplane tours in Bergen

It’s great to see all of these natural wonders up close, but there’s also something to be said for enjoying the whole big picture. And with the high-elevation thrills of a seaplane tour, you’ll really get some jaw-dropping perspectives!

The best part of these flights is their hybrid nature; along with the standard joys of soaring through the air, you’ll also be able to get some good views from the water, where you’ll take off and land.

And what views they are! Gaze down at the mighty glaciers and fjords, seeing their angles and beautiful details in a whole new way.

It’s one of the most thrilling things to do in Bergen!

29 – Enjoy some winter chic all year round at the Magic Ice bar

Magic Ice bar, Bergen

There’s nothing quite like the joy of a night out in a new town… and there’s one spot that’s cool in more than a metaphorical sense!

Zip up your parkas and pick your favorite chilled cocktail, because Magic Ice bar brings a suitably wintry spin on your drinking experience – with a lot of style thrown in!

Everything here, from the glasses and the walls to the bar itself, is made of the frozen stuff, and there’s even a full-fledged art gallery with plenty of chiseled masterpieces.

With colorful lights and festive music, it’s one of the liveliest spots in town… and it certainly provides a happy hour you won’t soon forget!

  • magic ice bar tickets

30 – Spend the day in a long-gone world at the Old Bergen Museum

Old Bergen Museum

Time for another stroll into the past…. and a termite’s paradise!

You may have spotted some of the lovely old buildings around town, and they actually hearken back to the 1800s, when Bergen was one of the largest wooden cities in all of Europe.

And as you amble down these streets, you’ll find yourself transported right back to that era, with some contributions from the 1700s and 1900s thrown in.

This is your chance to explore the neighborhood as though it were brand-new; step into homes and businesses that still stand as they did hundreds of years ago, and watch a cross-section of the town going about its business.

You might even get to talk to some locals… or at least, their costumed counterparts!

Chat with families of traders and local politicians, and learn about their daily lives; then stop by the square to see the latest play, where you’ll get to peek into even more of the lives and dreams of Bergen’s residents – from over 120 years ago, that is.

History has rarely been so absorbing… or so deeply entertaining!

31 – Take a jaunt to Oslo

Oslo, Norway

Switch things up a bit with a trip to the big city, a hotbed of culture and style… and plenty of quirks, of course.

As the capital of Norway, Oslo is certainly a place worth taking in, and it has the sort of adventures that can thrill every type of traveler.

From sculpture gardens to chic buildings and ancient Viking sites, you’ll find an incredible mix of eras and ideas, all wrapped up in a cosmopolitan package that showcases the best of Scandinavia!

  • Oslo tours from Bergen

32 – Relax and explore the little world of Nygårdsparken

Nygårdsparken, Bergen

Perhaps you’re looking for a somewhat more relaxed way to enjoy some nature while you’re in town… well, this park certainly doesn’t disappoint!

This is the largest urban green space in town, and while its influences come from a hodgepodge of European aesthetics – garden designs of the Danes, the elegant layout of the English -, it’s very much a fixture of the community, just as it has been since 1880.

The scenery here is so pleasant the you can happily spend a whole day strolling, no matter the season; with gorgeous flowers in the spring and summer, trees bursting into color in the fall, thick blankets of snow in the winter, and the beauty of the lake anchoring the space all year round, it’s truly a piece of paradise!

33 – Enjoy a summer paradise with a trip to Lysoen Island/Ole Bull’s Villa

Ole Bull Museum Lysøen, Norway

If you’re doing a bit of island-hopping while you’re here (and it’s well worth the time, given all the neat little spots out on the water), you can’t miss this lovely spot – after all, it’s been charming locals since the late 1800s!

Unsurprisingly, outdoor recreation is the big draw here; you could easily spend a whole trip just trying out all of the different hiking trails.

But there’s also a particularly interesting piece of architecture to explore here: a beautiful house that once belonged to one of the nation’s most famous musicians.

Ole Bull was a master violinist and a dynamic personality, and his summer residence was often home to visiting creative types, bringing a bit of art and culture to the island.

Even after he passed away in 1880, the house – and the gorgeous grounds – remained, an ongoing testament to the area he loved so much.

Take a look at its beauty, then enjoy some of the greatest legacies he left behind: the charming pathways in the heart of nature!

34 – Take to the open air with an unforgettable helicopter tour

helicopter tours in Bergen

There’s another great way to enjoy the world from up high… and you’ll have your pick of scenery!

Helicopter tours show you just about every version of the Norwegian landscape, each vista more beautiful than the last; and while you’re high enough to see it all, you’re still low enough to enjoy the individual details!

Choose between the coast or the mountains (or both!), the shifting ice of glaciers, or the wonders of the fjords and rock formations spread out below you.

You’ll even get a great glimpse of your host city, as you hover dizzyingly high above it!

  • Helicopter tours in Bergen

35 – Go on an adventure to Trolltunga

Trolltunga, Norway

An epic hike, a dramatic stone formation jutting out into the open air, and views that feel too beautiful to be real… every part of the Trolltunga experience is entrancing!

One of the most beautiful rocks in the whole country – whose name delightfully translates to “Troll Tongue” -, it stands watch over Ringedalsvatnet Lake, with commanding views that are often the backdrop for photoshoots… and even a wedding or two!

Of course, great things take time, and this is certainly one of the most strenuous hikes in the region;  it’s an all-day trek that runs 13.5 kilometers (8.4 miles) each way through continual elevation gain and strenuous paths.

But of course, you’ll get serious bragging rights at the end – and those remarkable sights! There are also plenty of excellent Trolltunga tours when you’re ready to really get a feel for the place!

36 – Give your tastebuds a holiday too at the best restaurants

best restaurants in Bergen

Eat your way through town in some more formal settings, where the ambience and the food go hand in hand – after all, this is a world-class food city!

With fresh ingredients and innovative presentation methods, each of these spots caters to a different culinary sensibility… and you’ll have a great time sampling the results!

You can try the chic, globally-focused meals of Allmuen Bistro , or the ultra-fresh meals at 26 North Restaurant & Social Club, where all of the ingredients come straight from the lush environment… land and sea!

Tuck into some fresh Italian eats at Bien Centro , or enjoy decadent dishes like duck confit or wienerschnitzel at Bien Basar .

And if you’re still jonesing for more seafood, grab a seat at Bernard Torghandel, where the finest shellfish and standard fish await you… with the ocean itself as the perfect backdrop!

37 – Indulge in a bit of holiday cheer at Pepperkakebyen

Pepperkakebyen, Bergen

There are lots of lovely things to do in Bergen when the holidays roll around – but who could resist a record-breaking bit of Yuletide cheer?

Each year, the town comes together to create a detailed diorama of the city, complete with trains, boats, and little houses with charming streets running past them.

But here’s the kicker: every inch of this little city is made entirely out of gingerbread!

In fact, this is the largest gingerbread city in the world, and a perfect place to celebrate the Yuletide – charming, creative, and oh so sweet!

How to get to Bergen?

Whether you’re flying or sailing, there are plenty of convenient ways to reach town… and we can make it even easier!

You can fly straight to the city, then book some of the airport transfers in Bergen to get to and from town – no need to wait on taxis or buses!

And if you’re traveling through the area on a cruise, there are also some fabulous shore excursions , where you can get out and explore all of the area’s highlights, then hop right back on the vessel.

Where to stay in Bergen?

Bergen Børs Hotel spoils you rotten with its elaborate gym and upscale bar, and with a historic stock exchange building as its framework, you even get a little bit of history thrown in!

And if you want to focus on the sea, Radisson Blu Royal Hotel provides a colorful, charming residence right beside the wharf, plus its own restaurant and nightclub for all your dining and dancing needs!

Zander K Hotel combines stylistic flair with close proximity to some of the coolest places in town, including the aquarium and Bergen University… plus its own wine bar!

And at Citybox Bergen City , you’ll be living your best cosmopolitan life; open the door and walk straight into the bustling heart of town, with Byparken, the Bergen Art Museum, and other treasures right in the neighborhood.

You can also live it up at Augustin Hotel , whether you’re sipping some vino in the 400-year old wine cellar, enjoying the works by Norwegian artists decorating the walls, or puttering around the nearby fish market.

  • best hotels in Bergen

Visiting Bergen on a budget?

As we’ve established, you can explore this town by pretty much every mode of transit imaginable – and that includes your own two feet!

The free walking tours in Bergen make it easier than ever to get to know the town, from its iconic mountains and distinctive neighborhoods to its many industries and vibrant local culture.

And of course, you get the added bonus of hanging out with a local guide that knows all the ins and outs of the town, and can provide their own unique insights.

Be sure to bring some cash to tip them!

Where to go next?

From the big city to the charming hamlet, there are plenty of other Norwegian treasures to explore once you’ve wrapped up in Bergen… for now, at least!

Of course, Oslo is perfect for the full urban experience, home to vibrant museums, public art, and all of the music, theater, and fine drinking and dining options you’d expect from such a dynamic town.

Or get a real taste of the Arctic with a trip to Tromso , a charming little town where dog sleds, surreal cathedrals, and even a troll or two populate the scene.

And of course, there are tons of other places to visit in Scandinavia, from big cities to mountains, little towns to open wilderness … you’ll quickly see why this region has become so beloved by visitors and residents in equal measure!

The Three Absolute Best Day Trips from Bergen

April 6, 2023 by Silvia 5 Comments

I’m always telling people to check if they can fly into Bergen instead of Oslo because Bergen is beautiful and tourists are often a bit underwhelmed by Oslo. But maybe my favorite thing about Bergen is the city’s stunning surroundings. In fact while I love the city, one of the main reasons I moved to Bergen was because it’s near some of Norway’s most incredible fjords, waterfalls, and mountains. For visitors this means that even if you’re only here for a short time you can still get out and see what Norwegian nature is all about. 

There are so many different day trips from Bergen you could take, and I know all the options can be overwhelming. So I thought I would narrow down the list for you with my top three choices for Bergen day trips. And of course if you’d like you can always extend your trip for a bit and spend a night or two in these places.

As for your time in Bergen, here’s my full guide for to things to do in Bergen – from a local who lives here!

And here’s my guide for the best roads trip from Bergen , from a day trip to 2 or more weeks.

And if you want more tips for planning your trip through southern Norway, I’ve gathered all my best advice in a 95-page ebook covering my top recommendations for places to visit (both on and off the beaten path), the best times of year to visit, how long to visit for, the best accommodation choices, transportation, what to eat, what to pack, and a sample itinerary that covers my personal favorite route through the south. You can purchase The Southern Norway Travel Guide here .

best day trips from Bergen Norway, including Hardanger, Sognefjord, and Voss

Hardangerfjord

hardangerfjord norway

The second longest fjord in Norway, Hardangerfjord is probably best known for its beautiful springtime views when the fruit trees are in bloom, which usually happens in May. But this fjord is beautiful anytime of year, and just two hours from Bergen, making for a wonderful day trip from the city.

Bergen to Hardangefjord day tours

If you won’t be renting a car, or if you want to see the fjord by boat, there are lots of guided trips of Hardangerfjord on offer, including this small cruise from Bergen to Rosendal , a village at the mouth of Hardangerfjord. And if you want to extend your stay here, you can spend the night at the beautiful Rosendal Fjordhotel right on the fjord. 

Or you could even take  this epic day trip from Bergen to both Hardangefjord and Folgefonna Glacier , Norway’s third largest glacier.

Sea kayaking on Hardangerfjord

One of the best ways to experience the quiet majesty of the Norwegian fjords is by kayak, and this sea kayak tour leaving from Jondal looks incredible. 

Helicopter tour over Hardangerfjord and Trolltunga

Or if you want a truly epic experience, you can take this helicopter tour from Bergen over Hardangerfjord, glaciers, waterfalls, and Trolltunga (Troll’s Tongue), Norway’s most famous cliff. Or a cheaper option is this fjord and mountain helicopter tour from Bergen . 

And if you decide to rent a car you can make lots of stops along the way, or even spend a night along the fjord. You can book your rental car here , and read all my tips for driving in Norway here .

Hiking Trolltunga

You could also carry on to Odda and then hike Trolltunga the next day, though be aware that Trolltunga is an expert level hike. Even if you’re an experienced hiker I’d recommend doing this hike with a guide, and if you want to avoid the crowds (Trolltunga is one of the most popular hikes in Norway), this guided Trolltunga hike with an overnight in a glamping dome would be such a unique experience! If you have a guide you can also hike Trolltunga in the winter. 

Hardangerfjord accommodation

My favorite accommodation on Hardangerfjord is probably Ullensvang Gjesteheim . It’s set on a farm right by the water and one of the prettiest spots along the fjord. It’s super cosy, with the sweetest owners and a delicious breakfast. Check current rates here .

I also love Rosendal Fjordhotel , which is especially convenient if you’ll be taking the Hardangerfjord boat from Bergen, which ends in Rosendal.  Check current rates and availability here . 

Or if you wanted to stay on the other side of the fjord, this vacation home looks gorgeous. And then of course there is the famous Hardanger Panorama Lodge treehouse , which I haven’t stayed at yet but is definitely on my bucket list! Check current rates and availability here

aurlandsfjell view sognefjord bergen norway

Sognefjord will definitely make an appearance on anyone’s list of the best fjords in Norway . Sognefjord is Norway’s longest and deepest fjord, and the second longest and second deepest in the world, stretching over 200 kilometers and 1,000 meters deep at its deepest points. Several of its branches are probably the most popular fjords for tourists to visit, both because of the beautiful views and their relative easy accessibility from Bergen.

As Norway’s longest fjord, there are of course so many different places along the fjord that you could visit on your Bergen fjord day trip, as close as a couple of hours by train or 2.5 hours by car from Bergen. 

You could take the express boat from Bergen into Sognefjord stopping at Aurland, Flåm, or Balestrand, among other places, or do the popular Norway in a Nutshell public transportation route. I’ve made a detailed guide for Norway in a Nutshell here .

But if you want the freedom to explore on your own, stopping for all the photos you want, explore Sognefjord by car. 

If you’re driving from Bergen you’ll definitely want to drive down the Aurlandsfjellet and Sognefjellet National Scenic Routes , both of which take you along the prettiest fjord and mountain views.  

Sognefjord has a lot of branches, and my two favorites are probably Aurlandsfjord and Nærøyfjord. The village of Aurland is absolutely stunning, and as it’s on the popular Norway in a Nutshell route there’s a lot to do here, including the famous Stegastein viewing platform , which offers incredible views over the fjord. 

Stegastein viewing platform Aurland, Norway

And then Nærøyfjord is super narrow and dramatic. My friends and I spent the night at the Gudvangen Fjordtell on Nærøyfjord, which is quite cheap and right by the famous Viking village of Njardarheimr .

In Njardarheimr you can visit people of all ages who have chosen to live as the Vikings did a thousand years ago. This is the perfect place to learn more about the Vikings, from people who still live that way today. Adult tickets cost 205 NOK. 

viking village gudvangen norway

Sognefjord accommodation

While you can easily see some of Sognefjord on a day trip from Bergen, if you want to really explore the different branches of the fjord you may want to spend a night or two along the fjord. 

I’ve compiled a list of incredible accommodation spots along Sognefjord here , but my personal favorites are: 

Fjærland Fjordstue Hotel in Fjærland dates back to the 1930s and sits right on the fjord. It even has a private beach! This is my favorite place I’ve stayed on Sognefjord, as the views are incredible. Plus there’s a super cute little book town down the street from the hotel, which is home to over four kilometers of books! There is the giant Tusund og ei natt bookstore, as well as small outdoor Sjølvplukk (pick-your-own) shelves calling themselves “the country’s most honest bookstore” where you leave a bit of money for each book you take.  Check current rates and availability here 

fjærland hotel norway

Fretheim Hotel in Flåm is a beautifully decorated, refurbished 1800s manor house, with luxurious rooms all with mountain or fjord views. Flåm isn’t the most picturesque part of Sognefjord, however it is the most convenient, as the railway station and ferry port are both an easy 5-minute walk from the hotel. And the hotel really is special! If you stay here, be sure to book a session at the floating sauna just a short walk from the hotel (you can see my TikTok from the sauna here ).  Check current rates and availability here

fjord sauna flåm norway

The Walaker Hotel in Svolvorn, Lustrafjord is Norway’s oldest hotel, dating all the way back to 1640! The hotel is located in the quiet village of Svolvorn right by the beach. The hotel is also nearby the 12th century Urnes Stave Church and Jostedalsbreen Glacier. Check current rates and availability here

The Gudvangen Fjordtell on Nærøyfjord  is budget friendly and right by the Viking village. There’s also a Viking style restaurant at the hotel. Check current rates and availability here

Gudvangen Nærøyfjord Norway

Voss is known as Norway’s adrenaline capital and is only 1 hour 45 minutes from Bergen by car, or just a little over an hour by train, making it an easy day trip from Bergen. 

The town itself doesn’t look that special, but some of Norway’s best outdoor adventure activities are based out of Voss. From river rafting to rock climbing to skiing to sky diving, Voss really has it all.

And if you’re visiting in the winter you’ll definitely want to hit the slopes in Voss. Voss has two ski resorts, Myrkdalen Fjellandsby and Voss Resort. Many of Norway’s world champion and Olympic athletes have trained in Voss and Voss apparently has more medals per capita than any other place in the world!

While you can definitely fit in some outdoor adventures on a day trip to Voss from Bergen, Voss would be a great place to spend a night or two, if you have the time. In fact I would say while Hardangerfjord and Sognefjord are perfect day trips from Bergen, Voss really would be best if you have a night (or longer!) to spend here. 

You can read my full guide for things to do in Voss here , but some of my favorite activities include:

Guided sea kayaking through the Nærøyfjord from Voss

There’s seriously no better way to experience a fjord than from a kayak, and from Voss you can take a guided sea kayaking tour through Nærøyfjord, which is one of the prettiest branches of Sognefjord. Fjord kayaking is very calm, so you don’t need any prior kayaking experience.  Check current prices and availability here

kayaking Nærøyfjord Norway

Whitewater rafting through the Raundal valley

Voss is famous for rafting, and a whitewater rafting tour along the Raundal River takes you through a number of Grade III rapids, while being suitable for beginner and experienced rafters alike.  Check current prices and availability here

River kayaking courses

Voss is the perfect place to learn the whitewater kayaking, or level up your skills if you already have experience. You can choose an introductory, novice, or intermediate course based on your level.  Check current prices and availability here

Rock climbing 

Lønahorgi mountain and Uskedalen, a fjord valley outside of Voss, offer Western Norway’s best climbing from beginner to expert levels. You can  book guided rock climbing to fit your level here .

Voss accommodation

Staying at a mountain hytte , or cabin, is just about the most Norwegian thing you can do, and Voss is a great place to get that experience. This Voss cabin is located in Skulestadmo, 100 meters from Bavalls ski lift at Voss Resortand will give you that typical Norwegian experience of going to the hytte. Check current rates and availability here

Otherwise you could stay downtown by the train station at either the brand new Scandic Voss or the historic Fleischer’s Hotel .

Hi Silvia, If I were to make Bergen my base in August and do day trips from Bergen, or even an overnight or 2 somewhere then back to Bergen, how many days would I need to visit the most beautiful sights. Which ones would you recommend? I shall be using public transport as I assume this would be a lot cheaper than hiring a car? Thank you Silvia

April 14, 2023 at 6:39 pm

We want to do the Fjord Naeroyfjord crusie – what I can’t figure out is which itinerary is the better/preferred route:

A: Bergen-Myrdal-Flam-Gudvangen-Voss-Bergen OR B: Bergen-Voss-Gudvangen-Flam-Myrdal-Bergen?

The routes of course are similar but is there an optimal (prettier view / route) of A or B? Not sure which is the best one to select?

Silvia says

The routes are exactly the same except in reverse, so you the views will be the same!

Oslo - Bergen road trip:

Driving from Oslo to Bergen takes about 7-8 hours. However, we recommend allowing at least a full day for this journey, due to the fact that there is a lot of scenic places along the road where you definately don't want to miss. There is also several routes, some longer than others. Read more about driving from Oslo to Bergen and tips on where to stop along route.

Bergen - Trondheim road trip:

The distance between Bergen and Trondheim is about 700 kilometers. In Norway the landscape is mountanous and the coast rugged, meaning that travel times are often longer than what visitors from other countries are used to. From Bergen to Trondheim it will take you around 11 hours, not including all the stops you definately would like to make along route! We therefore recommend to take an overnight stay or two along the way and really take your time to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the western coast of Norway. Read more about driving from Bergen to Trondheim here.

Skyss operates all the buses in Bergen and the region called Vestland. If you have a Bergen Card, you get free transport with all buses operated by Skyss. It also includes free travel on the Bergen Light Rail to the airport.
