2024 Bergen Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in September)

The Royal Residence 🇳🇴

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

Norway, the lake is always calm, hiding the memories you don't want to lose

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

Trip to Norway 🇳🇴

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

Norway Europe

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

Recently, I have visited Bergen again and I found out there’s more things to see than I imagine! For example, the colourful house located in the city centre , some apartment house on the hill which was covered with snow. They are just gorgeous! #境外遊 #nature #tripcom #landscape

#fallingseason Bergen is the second largest city in Norway and the view in here is amazing and spectacular! There’s some reasons why I fall in love with Bergen!

Bergen 🇳🇴 Norway

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

Amazing City, Amazing Food, Amazing Time

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

From the mountains to the Sea

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

Fish market in Bergen 🇳🇴

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

Bergen 🇳🇴 Norway

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

Beautiful Bergen!

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

The Bergen line 🇳🇴🚃

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

1,300 steps to the highest view in Bergen

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

Christmas Market 🎡

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

Getting There - Public transport from airport easy and quick Attractions - Fish Market, cruise, general sightseeing Hotels - Scandic was awesome, clean and a wonderful breakfast. Food & Restaurants - Fish Market fave Shopping - touristy but good fun Bergen is absolutely beautiful and the people are so friendly. Eating at the Fish market is a fantastic way to sample the freshest seafood you will ever eat. Take the furnicular to the top of Mt Floyen for the best views of Bergen and enjoy the bonus of seeing the goats. A wonderful city to wander the streets and feel like you are stepping back in time. take a cruise on the fjords for a relaxing few hours. would visit over and over just for the simple beauty.

Exploring Bergen, Norway- heart of the fjords

Getting There - by flight Attractions - Bryggen Wharf (a UNESCO World Heritage site), narrow cobblestone alleys, Fløyen Mountain Hotels - various Food & Restaurants - various (had the best Thai food and yummy fish and chip during the trip) Shopping - fish market, souvenirs Whilst in Europe for holiday, we specially flew to visit Bergen for a few days. Bergen has a lot of popular sites like Bryggen Wharf (first photo) and the Floyen Mountain and a lot of fresh seafood restaurant and fish market. It has a small town feel with a urban charm at the same time. One can spend a lot of times exploring the many cobblestone alleys and you never know what you might discover. One can also explore Western Norway (which include country’s best fjords) from Bergen. #unforgettableexperiences #scenicspotguide #norway #bergen

Bryggen comercial Buildings

Bryggen, also known as Tyskebryggen, is a series of Hanseatic heritage commercial buildings lining up the eastern side of the Vågen harbour in the city of Bergen, Norway. Bryggen has been on the UNESCO list for World Cultural Heritage sites since 1979. The city of Bergen was founded around 1070 within the boundaries of Tyskebryggen. Around 1350 a Kontor of the Hanseatic League was established there, and Tyskebryggen became the centre of the Hanseatic commercial activities in Norway. Today, Bryggen houses museums, shops, restaurants and pubs. Bergen was established before 1070 AD. In the Middle Ages, the Bryggen area encompassed all buildings between the sea and the Stretet (Øvregaten) road, from Holmen in the north to Vågsbunnen in the south. According to the Sagas, the city was founded within this area. #familytravel

Bergen, Norway

Surrounded by seven hills and seven fjords, Bergen is a beguiling city. During the early Middle Ages, it was an important seaport and a member of the Hanseatic League, as well as Norway's capital – a heritage that can still be glimpsed in the beautifully preserved wooden buildings of Bryggen, now protected as a Unesco World Heritage site. Chocolate-box, clapperboard houses creep up the hillsides, ferries flit around the fjords, and a cluster of excellent art museums provide a welcome detour, and not only in case Bergen's notoriously fickle weather sets in. Meanwhile, a large student population ensures the city has a buzzy bar scene and nightlife, and easy access to nature means you're minutes away from complete tranquillity. #city #cityoverlook #citytopics #cityvacation #cityneversleeps #village #architecture #tripinspired #tripaway #tripinspired #bestislandtraveltowns#naturalwonders

Bergen-Norway

Bergen -Norway! one of the most beautiful places on earth! #summervacation#hikingtrails

Gudvangen只是Aurland的一個小村落，卻是個旅遊勝地，畢竟它是Nærøyfjord的終點，也是之後冰川河郵輪之旅的起點。小村落不大，卻有一家很大的手信店，並相連餐廳，可以坐下喝杯咖啡吃個餐點。如果沒有吃過飯，一定要在這裡吃點東西，不然會又冷又餓，船上沒有餐廳。 #norway #gudvangen #norwayinanutshell #挪威

Heading back to city, we love walking between the narrow alleys, streets and houses. Enjoy exploring, we even chanced upon a hidden local stall that sell fresh ingredients where we did our grocery shopping during our stay there 😁 #tripaway #city #bergen #cook #tripaway
