Guided Fjord Tours arranges day tours to several destinations in these areas daily from Bergen. We are ready in all seasons to guide you through the most beautiful landscape in the world.

Top-Rated Tours in Bergen

Definitely recommend doing this if you don't have more time to explore the beautiful surroundings of Bregen. Norway is just amazing.

We had a fabulous trip up the fjords crew were lovely and it was managed very well and adjusted according to the weather conditions we thoroughly enjoyed the experience well worth it.

This trip leaves from close to the fish market in the centre of Bergen. The fast catamaran quickly gets you to the narrower part of the fjord where the views are simply breathtaking. We stood outside for much of the trip, but they sell reasonably priced hot drinks on board to warm you up. Highlights are the whirlpools and waterfalls at the far end at Mostraumen.

We had a great time with our tour guide Frode, he was excellent, very knowledgeable and great conversationalist. I highly would recommend this tour for anyone looking to enjoy great views and a delicious lunch.

BERGEN FJORD CRUISE: AN INTRODUCTION

Our review below of Fjordrive AS’s ‘Nærøyfjorden Cruise, Flåm And Stegastein Viewpoint’ guided tour are true and honest reflections of our personal experience of this exact tour that we recently had the joy of taking part in during our 4 days in Bergen itinerary , Norway.

WHEN CAN YOU BOOK THIS BERGEN FJORD CRUISE TOUR?

You can book this full day ‘ Nærøyfjorden Cruise, Flåm And Stegastein Viewpoint ‘ guided tour all year round when visiting Bergen.

It is worth mentioning from our own personal experience, if you book this tour for the cold Winter months, the itinerary order may need to be slightly adapted to accommodate external factors out of Fjordrive AS’s control, such as weather conditions.

For example, when we completed this tour in late November, we still stopped at the Tvindefossen waterfall, however due to the glacial temperatures the waterfall was frozen solid and we were not permitted to get too close due safety reasons. To see a mighty waterfall frozen in its tracks was still pretty cool though!

Likewise, the main fjord cruise that usually departs from Gudvangen village could not due to the water around the area freezing up. Therefore instead, we visited Gudvangen for a food / toilet stop as planned but instead boarded the fjord cruise vessel from a village located 5 minutes up the fjord, called Undredal.

As it turns out, this was a blessing in disguise for us as Undredal is one of the most beautiful and authentic Norwegian villages we’ve ever seen, full of rainbow coloured wooden houses against a mountainous backdrop. We were super happy to visit there, albeit briefly!

Rest assured that Fjordrive AS do their absolute best to make sure customers still get to experience as much as they possibly can despite these kind of external factors they may face.

WHAT TO EXPECT ON THE DAY: THE FULL ITINERARY

Pick-up from bergen centre.

Make your way to the designated pick-up point in central Bergen. When we visited, they lay-by they used was located here just outside of the Tourist Information centre on the Fish Market side of the Vågen harbour. It’s directly opposite the Scandic Torget Bergen hotel.

You’ll know you’re in the right place as there will most likely be your other tour companions there too.

For our tour, the minibus left at 8am sharp, so it is advised to arrive to the meeting point 10-15 minutes beforehand.

In case of any unknown changes since we did this tour, always follow the direction of the pick up information sent to you directly by the tour operator, which is usually a day or so before the tour commences.

After your assigned guide arrives and performs a quick head count, your small group will be welcomed onto the modern Mercedes minibus to begin your epic full-day tour!

STOP 1: TVINDEFOSSEN WATERFALL

The first scenic stop on this ‘ Nærøyfjorden Cruise, Flåm And Stegastein Viewpoint ‘ is Tvindefossen waterfall – a dramatic and mighty waterfall that tumbles fiercely down the rugged 150 metre high cliff face!

This waterfall is also conveniently close to the roadside, so you can easily stand back and appreciate its beauty straight off the minibus if that’s as far as you wanted to go.

Or, during the warmer Spring / Summer months, you have the opportunity to get even closer to feel the sheer power and rush of this natural scenic hotspot.

As mentioned before, note in the colder Winter months this waterfall will be frozen solid and the ability to get too close will be limited due to safety precautions.

STOP 2: STEGASTEIN VIEWPOINT

The next stop on this full-day tour, Stegastein viewpoint, was one of our absolute favourite highlights of this entire trip!

Set a staggering 650 metres above the Nærøyfjord, this unique viewing platform juts and cantilevers 30 metres out from the mountainside, allowing for truly undisturbed panoramic views of the Nærøyfjord below, which you will not get anywhere else!

As an added bonus, the mountain road up from Aurland to Stegastein is part of the recognised “National Scenic Routes” in Norway. While a very safe road, it is worth noting those with a fear of heights best not to look out the window, as the sheer drops as you wind up the mountain could be unsettling for you!

STOP 3: GUDVANGEN VILLAGE TO BOARD THE NÆRØYFJORDEN SCENIC CRUISE

Cruise on the scenic E16 highway to the secluded village of Gudvangen, the gateway to the protected and UNESCO World Heritage Listed Nærøyfjord, where your scenic cruise will begin!

First, spend a short while exploring the scenic complex at Gudvangen village, making the most of the toilet, large café and gift shop facilities. We loved that this complex had a really welcoming, Norwegian wood cabin vibe throughout!

When the time comes, board the modern, state of the art luxury cruiser for the main event of this tour – the 2 hour cruise down the idyllic Nærøyfjord in ultimate style and comfort!

Sit back and relax in the warm, modern lounges of the lower deck or venture to the 2 open top decks for epic views of these beautiful, gigantic fjordlands.

STOP 4: FLÅM VILLAGE

This wonderful scenic cruise terminates in the tiny village of Flåm. As you disembark you’ll basically see a cluster of small wooden buildings consisting of a large gift shop, toilet facilities, a café and even a pub lined along the shipping dock, which is the main area you will explore before heading to the minibus.

Here is also the terminating station of Flåm railway, where you are likely to see people boarding and waiting for a train. Directly next to this is the bright yellow building of the Flåm Railway Museum , a small museum which is definitely worth a look round! The museum is free to enter.

Get all comfortable, cosy and even had a little snooze on the direct drive from Flåm village back to Bergen city centre. Drop off is at the same location as this morning’s pick-up.

HOW MUCH DOES THIS FULL-DAY NÆRØYFJORDEN, FLÅM AND STEGASTEIN TOUR COST IN 2024?

The prices for this ‘ Nærøyfjorden Cruise, Flåm And Stegastein Viewpoint ‘ tour start at just under £177 GBP / $223.98 USD per adult, and £101 GBP / $129 USD for children aged 4 to 14 years. Anyone 15+ years qualifies for an adult ticket.

BERGEN FJORD CRUISE TOUR: ADDITIONAL FAQ’S

How many people will be on this tour.

This Bergen fjord cruise tour has a maximum capacity of 20 people, due to the smaller size of the minivan. This makes the tour feel a lot more intimate and less of a ‘mass tourism’ trip.

HOW LONG IS THE DRIVING ON THIS TOUR?

It is important to note that there is a considerable amount of driving on this full day tour, however it is necessary to enable you to see so much and travel to such incredible locations from the convenient pick up location of Bergen city in just one day.

From our personal experience, the guide was very aware of this and ensured we had adequate stops to go to the toilet, stretch your legs, get refreshments every 1.5 / 2 hours, clearly communicating and consulting personally with the group as to how long they wanted to wait for the next one, etc.

The longest driving stint was from Flåm village back to Bergen at the end, which we assume just seemed longer as this was a direct drive back to the city without any additional scenic stops. Nonetheless, by that point our group was super tired and the majority of us just relaxed and snoozed until we returned back!

ARE PREGNANT WOMEN ALLOWED ON THIS TOUR?

Yes, pregnant women are permitted on this full-day Bergen fjord cruise tour. I can personally vouch for this as when we took the tour, I was 30 weeks pregnant with our son!

I contacted Fjordrive AS beforehand and they were extremely accommodating and assured me they would make multiple toilet stops on the way and ensure I was comfortable – which they did.

Once thing I would suggest is, despite the minivan being comfortable, there isn’t an awful lot of legroom and the most we drove without stops is 2.5 hours, which was on the way back. So it all depends on how far along you are and how comfortable you are sitting down for an extended period of time.

I know I was beginning to struggle with that, so I invested in this Emoobin Donut Pain Relief Pillow for Pregnancy , which I had brought to Bergen with me. This subtle addition was a life saver and make me a lot more comfortable on this trip!

BERGEN FJORD CRUISE TOUR: OUR TOP TIPS

1. If possible, try to book this tour on a day where the weather is not forecast to be a total wash out with rain, as this will make the experiences and scenic stops a lot more enjoyable. This is not always possible with the notorious wet weather of this region, so we advise to pack a light rain poncho or umbrella just in case!

2. Lunch or refreshments are not included in the price of this tour, however there are plenty of opportunities to additional purchase them throughout the day. The majority of the time it is quick sandwiches and snacks on offer, but the Gudvangen village café or Flåm village stops are your best bet for more of a hearty full cooked lunch.

3. As mentioned before, note that the tour itinerary may need to be slightly modified during the colder Winter months due to unforeseeable weather conditions, however Fjordrive AS will do their absolute best to make sure the tour is adapted to still the best it can be.

4. You will be taking lots of photographs throughout the day, so make sure your phone does not lose charge! There are apparently USB charging ports on the minibus, though we didn’t personally see or use them. We recommend potentially taking your own portable battery charger and lead just in case!

CONCLUSION: IS THIS BERGEN FJORD CRUISE TOUR WORTH IT?

In conclusion, we believe that is full day “ Nærøyfjorden Cruise, Flåm And Stegastein Viewpoint “ guided tour absolutely worth the trip.

While we understand it is more on the expensive side, having personally experienced the trip and itinerary we believe the distance covered, guide professionalism, itinerary planned, transport comfort and most importantly – the scenic sights and activities included – are worth the price paid.

As long as you are prepared that it is a long old day (approximately 11 hours) with quite a fair bit of driving with stops, we are confident you will enjoy every moment of this epic adventure exploring the jaw-dropping Nærøyfjord and surrounding Vestland of North West of Norway from Bergen!

A BERGEN FJORD CRUISE ALTERNATIVE

If however, if you are tight for time in Bergen or would just prefer a shorter trip, the very popular Mostraumen Fjord Cruise is a good alternative for you.

This Bergen fjord cruise ventures down the Western fjords easily accessible from Bergen, including the Osterfjord, and is very popular with visitors for a number of reasons.

Firstly, it’s super convenient to get to by yourself, simply make your own way to the main Vågen wharf in Bergen centre and board the vessel from there.

Likewise, it is only a half day tour, lasting just 4 hours from start to finish, leaving port at 10am and returning around 2/2.30pm.

This tour is resultantly a lot cheaper as well, starting at just £60 GBP / $77 USD per adult!

The highlights for us on this Mostraumen Fjord Cruise were actually located near the very end of the Osterfjord, before the boat turned back around for its return journey.

First was the tiny settlement of Mostraumen, accessed by a narrow canal, and the second were the large waterfalls at the end of the Osterfjord. As we visited in November, these were actually frozen solid when we visited!

OUR VERDICT

When we visited Bergen, we were fortunate enough to experience both the Nærøyfjorden to Flåm fjord cruise and Stegastein viewpoint full day tour and the Mostraumen Fjord Cruise, so had the opportunity to compare the two directly.

If you can only do one fjord cruise from Bergen, we would highly suggest the “ Nærøyfjorden to Flåm fjord cruise and Stegastein viewpoint ” full day tour, as here the fjords are miles larger and more impressive, plus you see so much more during the day.

We personally found the pace of the Mostraumen Fjord Cruise quite long winded too, it seemed to take a while to get to the actual fjord itself. However – this may well be because we were directly comparing to the full day tour we had taken first!

However, as mentioned previously, this half-day Mostraumen Fjord Cruise alternative is still very picturesque (particularly as you come to the end of the Osterfjord) and worth the trip if you do not have the time for our recommended full-day tour.

5 BEST Fjord Cruises from Bergen, Norway [A Local’s Guide]

Psst! Some links in my posts may be affiliate links, which means that I get paid a fee if you chose to purchase something through it. This doesn't cost you anything, but makes a huge difference for me! Thanks for your support!

As the “gateway to the fjords”, there are many fjord cruises from Bergen to choose from . It can be a little overwhelming knowing which one is the right fit for you. But I’m here to help!

I have lived in Bergen for more than 7 years now, and grew up just a few hours from here (right by the fjords). As a result, I’m the perfect person to share the best fjord cruises leaving from Bergen!

In the past I have covered some of the great tours and excursions in Bergen , but the ones on this list are focused on just the fjords.

There are a few fjords within easy reach near Bergen, such as the Hardangerfjord, the Sognefjord (with its arms) and Osterfjorden. Some of these are amongst the best fjords in Norway , in my opinion.

Quick Bergen Travel Guide

Where to stay : Hotel Norge is a centrally located, higher-end hotel that is perfect for any traveler – and my favorite (their scrambled eggs at breakfast are the best in Norway). If you are looking for something in the historic city center, Clarion Havnekontoret is just a stone’s throw from the UNESCO-listed Bryggen. For something more budget-friendly, CityBox and Moxy are great alternatives!

Where to eat : I have so many favourite restaurants in Bergen, and have covered them all in this guide . Don’t miss Bryggeloftet (traditional, Norwegian), Poca Madre (Mexican), Boccone (Italian) and JAJA (International Street Food).

Top activities and tours in Bergen :

• Mostraumen Fjord Cruise from Bergen (check out the best fjord cruises from Bergen in this guide )
• Seeing the UNESCO listed Bryggen (on your own or on a walking tour )
• Viking ship fjord cruise
• Hiking or taking the funicular up Mount Fløyen
• Going on a day trip to Flåm and the Nærøyfjord

Packing for Bergen : My golden rule when packing and dressing for any destination in Norway is layers. Layers, layers, layers – and Bergen is no different. Additionally, Bergen can be quite a rainy city, so a waterproof jacket such as this one is ideal. Good shoes for walking around the city is a must too (the city is very walkable).

Getting to Bergen : I have covered how to get from the airport to the city center in detail here .

Getting Around : Skyss is the official public transportation system in Bergen. Download the app Skyss Billett (ticket) to have tickets on your phone.

What is a fjord cruise?

In my Norway travel guide I have explained in detail what a fjord is, so I won’t spend too much time on that here. In short, a fjord is a body of water connected to the ocean , that was created by the glaciers of the last ice age.

There are over 1700 named fjords in Norway, which is quite insane to think about. It is not hard to understand why Norway is the official land of the fjords.

So, what is a fjord cruise ?

There are two types of fjord cruises. One type of fjord cruise is a large cruise ship going on a several days long trip along the Norwegian coastline and into the fjords. Cruise lines like P&O , Costa , MCS and Viking Cruises all have cruises to the Norwegian fjords.

However, the Bergen fjord cruises we are focusing on today are slightly different. They are also what most people think about when they hear the term.

A fjord cruise is a fancy name for a boat trip on the fjord . It has gotten its name because you are cruising silently on a fjord – and probably to make it sound a little more inviting than just “boat trip”.

But, basically, these are the Norwegian equivalent of the party boats in Punta Cana or the catamaran cruises in Cancun .

The cruises can take any shape or size, from large electric vessels to small, fast-paced ones. All though the latter is often called a “Fjord Safari” instead.

No matter where in Norway you go, you are likely to come across a fjord cruise. Whether that’s Flåm , Geiranger, Stavanger or even Oslo .

And of course Bergen. Which is the focus of this article.

5 Best Fjord Cruises from Bergen

With Bergen being the largest city in western Norway, and within easy reach of several of the best fjords, it’s only natural that there are loads of fjord cruises to choose from.

That being said, which one should you choose?

Below I have outlined the best fjord cruises from Bergen – and highlighted details about each of them. That way, you can decide which is the perfect one for you!

Going on a fjord cruise is one of the most popular things to do in Bergen , and an absolute must when you visit. All of these start from the docks in the center of Bergen, and are round trip cruises. Unless otherwise specified.

#1 Fjord Cruise Bergen to Mostraumen

The fjord cruise from Bergen to Mostraumen is amongst the most popular ones leaving from the city . This is mainly because it is the shortest and easiest way to see the fjords from Bergen.

If you are spending a day in Bergen and are short on time – and don’t have plans to travel from Bergen to Flåm – this is a good choice.

This 3-hour fjord cruise takes you from the Bergen docks through the Mostraumen strait. Along the way you will see the Osterfjord, one of the fjords closest to the city.

I will say, these fjords aren’t the most dramatic in the region, but it is the best option for anyone wanting to see the fjords from Bergen in a day (and don’t have a rental car).

You’ll stay nice and warm inside the boat, which departs year-round. This fjord cruise is beautiful no matter what time of year you visit.

There is also a private option available for this tour, which might be a little pricy for most, but perfect for groups of friends and families.

• Duration : 3-4 hours
• Fjords : Osterfjord
• Max travellers : 85
• Advance booking needed : Yes

#2 Sognefjord Cruise from Bergen

The Sognefjord is known as the “king of the fjords”, and with good reason. It is the longest fjord in the world (with the exception of one in Greenland that is frozen – so it doesn’t count, in my opinion). It is also the deepest.

In addition to this, it has some pretty famous fjord arms. Fjord arms are basically smaller fjords that “stick out” of the bigger fjord.

If you imagine your arm and hand being the main fjord (i.e. the Sognefjord in this case), your fingers would be the fjord arms. This is how I usually explain the fjords and fjord arms when I guide for Adventures by Disney (I work as a Disney Adventure Guide in Norway every summer, and it’s the best job in the world, after travel blogging!).

At the end of the Sognefjord you will find the Aurlandsfjord and Nærøyfjord, both world heritage fjords and a world heritage site. The latter is listed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List together with the Geirangerfjord (further north).

This is also where I grew up (in Aurland)!

Therefore, traveling through the Sognefjord from Bergen is a great way to see the length of the world’s biggest fjord. However, it is a full-day trip – so expect to leave Bergen early (at 8 in the morning), and to get back late (around 9 in the evening).

This includes a 2-hour stop in Flåm. I recommend having lunch at the bakery and going on a stroll along the fjord during your time there.

Basically, this is a return ticket on the express boat from Bergen to Flåm. It runs only in the summer months. Many locals don’t consider it a fjord cruise, but a mode of transportation. But, as we established above, a fjord cruise is simply a boat on the fjord – so you’re good to go!

You can also consider getting a return ticket for the next day, and spend the night in Flåm! There are some great hotels in Flåm to choose from, and this would give you a chance to explore the village and region more. Note that accommodation is not included in the boat ticket.

• Duration : 13 hours
• Fjords : Sognefjord, Aurlandsfjord
• Max travellers : 150
• Cost : $244 (round trip) / $144 (one way)

#3 The Nærøyfjord Fjord Cruise (including train & bus)

As mentioned, the Nærøyfjord is a fjord arm of the Sognefjord and perhaps the most important destination for fjord tours near Bergen.

On this full day trip, you’ll get to not only experience a fjord cruise on the Nærøyfjord, but also the famous Flåm Railway (one of the world’s most scenic rail journeys).

Thus, this is not just a fjord cruise from Bergen, but a round trip excursion taking you from Bergen to the fjords and back using train, bus and cruise. The Oslo-Bergen railway is also included on this trip.

It is very similar to the Norway in a Nutshell tour , so it is possible to book each leg of the journey individually. If you have more than just a day, I also recommend looking at some of my itineraries , that take you from Bergen to the fjords for a night or two.

Sights along the way on this cruise not only include the Nærøyfjord, but also picturesque fjord villages, waterfalls and of course the Flåm Valley (where the Flåm Railway goes).

• Duration : 10 hours
• Fjords : Nærøyfjord, Aurlandsfjord
• Max travellers : 99
• Cost : from $308

#4 Viking Ship Fjord Cruise

If you want a more unique, and exclusive experience, this might be the cruise for you.

Sailing on an authentic Viking ship with just 12 travellers on board is a great way to explore the harbour and sights outside of Bergen. Whilst it doesn’t take you far from the city, and thus not into any of the more dramatic fjords, this can still be worthwhile if you want to go off the beaten path.

During this 1,5-hour sailing you’ll be treated to a hot drink, and some lovely views of the city. Definitely a must for families or Viking enthusiasts!

If you consider yourself the latter, I hope you’ll head on over to read my guides to Nordic symbols and their meanings , Norse Goddesses and of course the most famous Vikings of all time !

• Duration : 1,5 hours
• Fjords : Bergen harbour, Puddefjorden
• Max travellers : 12

#5 Private Fjord Cruises from Bergen

Last, but not least, going on a private Bergen fjord cruise might be more your style. These options are perfect for those traveling in a big group or with a rowdy family.

Or just for a couple wanting a truly exclusive experience on the fjords.

There are several options for private tours from Bergen, taking you through Osterfjorden by private yacht or in a fast-paced RIB boat.

Basically, you can choose your own adventure here, and since it’s just you onboard, you get the full attention of your captain and crew.

• Duration : 4-11 hours (depending on what you book)
• Max travellers : Private
• Cost : from $500
• BOOK PRIVATE RIB HERE / BOOK PRIVATE YACHT HERE

Of course, the best way to experience the fjords is by boat and nobody out there is offering a better way to do this than ‘See the Fjords’ and their Fjord experience. Yes, this is a luxury experience, but you won’t forget it and it could very well be the most memorable part of your experience here.

This was one of our favorite days in Norway! The yacht is beautiful, and the captain was friendly and made us feel completely comfortable and safe the entire time. Since the trip is private, you’re really able to do what you want at the speed you want. We enjoyed a leisurely day on the water and the fjords were absolutely beautiful!

Photo tips: 14 historical landmarks in bergen, how to best explore the fjords from bergen, bryggen in bergen – a big piece of history in a small place, famous statues in bergen.

Bergen is sheltered from the North Sea only by a number of islands. It is situated 60 degrees north – the same latitude as Saint Petersburg. The city is known to be the most hilly and mountainous in all of Norway – meaning a view of the city is always close by.

During the Middle Ages, Bergen held an important seat in the Hanseatic League as well as being the capital city, a heritage that still is visible in the beautifully preserved and iconic wooden houses of Bryggen, the undisputed king of motifs in the city centre. Almost equally famous is the fish market – a mere stone throw from the Hanseatic wharf.

Bergen was designated European City of Culture in year 2000, and for good reasons. The city has fostered famous composers like Edvard Grieg, Ole Bull and Harald Sæverud. In modern times Kygo and Alan Walker continue to put the city on the international map. 

Thanks to the fact that 10 percent of the people who live here are students, you can be sure there is always lots happening.

Once you break the spell cast by Bergen, scores of adventures and attractions are waiting at its doorstep. It is after all the gateway to the fjords. Both the Sognefjord (the world’s longest and deepest fjord) and the Hardangerfjord can be reached within hours departing from the city centre. 

If Bergen is on your travel itinerary, you have come to the right place. Stick with us and have fun adventuring!

Join us on a 3-3,5 hours sustainable fjord cruise  through beautiful and varied western Norway fjord landscapes. This round trip departs from Zachariasbryggen wharf by Bergen’s famous fish market all year. It’s fun for young and old alike.

The captain steers the boat so close to one of these waterfalls that you risk feeling its refreshing mist!

The beautiful fjord landscape is rich in bird and animal life, and, with a little luck, we might see seals sunbathing on the rocky shore or even eagles soaring over us.

Tour Highlights

The Nærøyfjord

The Nærøyfjord is the narrowest and best-known of the many arms of the Sognefjord. Surrounded by towering mountains up to 1,700 meters high, this arm of the Sognefjord is amazingly beautiful. With its steep mountainsides, hanging valleys, towering peaks, waterfalls, and small hamlets, this fjord is perhaps the most outstanding natural attraction in Norway. The Nærøyfjord is 20 km long, only 250 meters across at its narrowest and a mere 12 meters at its shallowest. The surrounding mountains reach heights of 1,660 meters, and the fjord is one of the multiple highlights on several of our tours.

The Aurlandsfjord

The Aurlandsfjord is a 17-kilometer arm of the world’s second-longest fjord, the Sognefjord, and starts in Flåm and ends at the mountain Beitelen, which separates the Aurlandsfjord from the Nærøyfjord. Together with the Nærøyfjord, the Aurlandsfjord is one of the most picturesque fjords in the world. This stunning fjord is a part of the World Heritage area and is surrounded by high mountains that reach heights of over 1,400 meters.

The Flåmsbana Railway

Flåmsbana or Flåm Railway  is a spectacular train journey that offers a panoramic view of some of the wildest and most magnificent nature in the Norwegian fjord landscape. The 20 km-long train ride took 20 years to build and is one of the steepest standard gauge railway lines in the world. On the train ride that operates between Myrdal and Flåm, you can see rivers cutting through deep ravines, waterfalls cascading down the side of steep, snow-capped mountains, and mountain farms clinging dizzily to sheer slopes. 

The Bergen Railway

The Bergen Railway is the 500-kilometer-long railway line between Bergen and Oslo. It has several times been named one of the world's best railway experiences.

The Bergen Railway is Northern Europe's highest stretch of railway and crosses both the Langfjellene mountains and the Hardangervidda mountain plateau, with Finse as the highest station at 1222 meters.

Bergen is Norway's second largest city with a population of roughly 270,000. King Olav Kyrre founded the city of Bergen in 1070, and it was the country's capital from 1110 until 1299.

Also known as the entrance to the kingdom of the fjords, the city between the seven mountains or the capital of Western Norway? The country's second largest city has a lot to offer both its inhabitants and visitors.

Bergen was founded almost a thousand years ago in 1070 by Olav Kyrre. The town was then called Bjørgvin, which means "the green meadow between the mountains". You will still find green lungs all over the city and on the seven mountains that surround Bergen you will find activities and hiking experiences for everyone.

The seven mountains

The inhabitants of Bergen are known to be loud and maybe a bit quarrelsome. For this reason it is not so strange that there might be some disagreement on which mountains that actually are included in the «seven». We should not interfer with this discussion but we want to mention that the 7 – mountain tour that is organized each year by DNT – Norwegian hiking association includes the following mountains: Lyderhorn, Damsgårdsfjellet, Løvstakken, Ulriken, Fløyfjellet, Rundemanen og Sandviksfjellet.

Ulriken is the highest one with its 643 metres and you might easily access the top using the gondola. Fløyfjellet is perhaps the most known and if you take the Fløibanen funicular to the top you are awarded with a fantastic view of Bergen.

Bryggen i Bergen

Bryggen in Bergen is one of the most famous attractions in the city and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This was the first place in the city where there were buildings, and almost 1000 years later there is still a lot of life and movement here.

As a trade center for the Hanseatic League, former outlets, offices, trade and housing dominated Bryggen. Today you will find several cozy shops, nightclubs, cafes, galleries, studios and art outlets instead. A stroll on Bryggen on a lovely sunny day is highly recommended!

Cultural city of Bergen

For several hundred years, Bergen has has fostered well-known cultural personalities. Previously, it was perhaps Edvard Grieg, Ludvig Holberg and Ole Bull who were most famous, while today it is names like Lars Vaular, Gabrielle, Kygo and Kurt Nilsen we recognize.

The city has always been a good place for musicians, artists and performers, and the creative environment in the city has resulted in what we know as the «Bergen wave». The Bergen wave is a term for popular musical currents from the region and there have been several waves that have hit the Norwegian cultural fauna!

The first "wave" in the 80's produced names like The Aller Værste, Elektrisk Regn and Hole in the Wall, while the 90`s brought up names like Pogo Pops, Ephemra and Sondre Lerche. Turning over to the next millienium artist like Kings of Convenience, Röyksopp, Razika, Annie, Datarock, Lars Vaular og John Olav Nilsen & Gjengen has been washed up on the shore.

Discovering Bergen

Each year several large cultural events are arranged in Bergen. Festspillene, Bergenfest, Bergen Matfestival and Nattjazz are just a few and there are regularly concerts at well-known venues such as Grieghallen, Hulen, Koengen, Ole Bull Scene, Ricks and Studenthuset Kvarteret. You might also go to the theater on Den Nasjonale Scene, see performances by the Norwegian National Company for Contemporary Dance - Carte Blanche, watch films at the Bergen International Film Festival Biff, or experience the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra, a European high level symphony orchestra.

In addition to regular annual events, there is a lot to choose from for those who are looking for activities to do . As mentioned, there are several great hikes in the mountains around Bergen, and with proximity to the sea and fjord you will also find several water-based activities. Bergen also serves as the "gateway to the fjords" and from the city you can easily reach beautiful fjords of Western Norway, for example on one of our trips .

Calling this city "the heart of the fjords", an excerpt from Visit Bergen reads: "Bergen is surrounded by one of the world's most spectacular tourist attractions - the fjords, which have now been included on UNESCO's World Heritage List."

Jet2 continued: "Over the next few weeks, Jet2.com and Jet2CityBreaks will be expanding their programme to Bergen even further, when their new flights and city breaks start operating in May from Leeds Bradford Airport and Birmingham Airport.

"As well as giving customers easy access to stunning Fjords such as Aurlandsfjord and Nærøyfjord, the city of Bergen itself boasts a backdrop of spectacular mountains which are wrapped around a picturesque harbour lined with a variety of fashionable restaurants and bars."

Discover More experience-based city breaks and holidays that have been designed to appeal to those with a sense of adventure, whether that involves ticking off historic sights, delving into local cultures, or soaking up knockout scenery.
