Activity itinerary

Bergenhus Fortress
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
Bergenhus Fortress, positioned at Bergen harbor's entrance, is one of Norway's oldest and best-preserved stone fortifications. Its structures date back to the 1240s, with later additions, including those from World War II. In medieval times, this site, then known as Holmen, housed Bergen's royal residence, cathedral, churches, the bishop's residence, and a Dominican monastery. Archaeological excavations have uncovered foundations predating 1100, possibly from King Olav Kyrre's era. Bergen was Norway's capital until 1299, with Holmen serving as the primary seat of power. Stone walls encircled the area in the 1240s. Håkon’s Hall, constructed between 1247 and 1261 by King Håkon Håkonsson, was Bergen's largest and most imposing royal residence during the 13th century. This hall, now 750 years old, hosted significant national events, including the drafting of Norway's first comprehensive set of laws, and notably, the 1261 wedding of Magnus Håkonsson Lagabøte to Danish princess Ingeborg.
Bryggen Hanseatic Wharf
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
The iconic Bryggen Hanseatic Wharf is a vibrant and historic area in Bergen, cherished as one of Norway's premier attractions. This site marks the location of Bergen's earliest buildings, and over centuries, it has remained a vital hub within the city. Bryggen holds UNESCO World Heritage status, and Bergen itself is recognised as a World Heritage City. The preserved Hanseatic wharf and buildings represent a significant portion of Norway's medieval urban heritage, making Bryggen a well-known and cherished landmark.
Fish Market
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Bergen's Fish Market is a renowned outdoor market and one of Norway's most popular attractions. Situated in the heart of the city, between the fjords and Bergen's seven mountains, it has been a bustling meeting point for merchants and fishermen since the 1200s. Visitors can purchase a variety of goods, including fresh seafood, local farm produce like fruits, berries, and vegetables, as well as flowers and plants. The market features several restaurants offering a wide selection of seafood dishes. The indoor Fish Market, known as Mathallen, opened in 2012, providing permanent shops and restaurants that operate year-round. Originally located next to Bryggen, the market moved in the 1500s to prevent the Hanseatic League from dominating Bergen's trade. Over the centuries, the Fish Market has expanded and evolved, remaining a vital centre of commerce and community in Bergen's history.
Mount Floyen and the Funicular
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
The Funicular Railway is a top attraction in Norway, starting just 150 metres from the Fish Market and Bryggen in Bergen's city centre. The exhilarating journey up the mountain offers a magnificent experience, ascending to Mount Fløyen at approximately 320 metres above sea level. From Fløyen, visitors can marvel at the stunning views of Bergen's cityscape, surrounding fjords, and coastal scenery. Facilities at Fløyen include a restaurant, cafeteria, souvenir shop, and a play area. The Fløibanen funicular line, established in 1918, spans 844 metres in length and climbs 302 metres in elevation. This single-track railway carries over 1.8 million passengers annually, with each car accommodating up to 100 passengers. The track features a gradient ranging from 15 to 26 degrees and includes 6 stops along the route. The railway is not only a popular tourist attraction but also serves as a convenient mode of transport for locals residing on the mountainside.
Fantoft Stave Church
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
The original church, built in 1150 in Fortun in Sogn, was replaced by the new Fortun Church in 1879. Fantoft Stave Church faced demolition threats, prompting its purchase by Consul Fredrik Georg Gade in 1883. Gade moved the church to Fana near Bergen to save it. Tragically, on June 6, 1992, the church was destroyed by arson, part of a series of church burnings by members of the early Norwegian black metal scene. Reconstruction efforts commenced shortly after the fire and concluded in 1997, with the church restored to its former glory.
Gamlehaugen
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Gamlehaugen, a historic mansion in Bergen, Norway, serves as the residence of the Norwegian Royal Family. Its origins date back to the Middle Ages, and it was once owned by Bergen's wealthiest individuals. Now owned by the Norwegian state, its recent private owner, Christian Michelsen, a prominent politician and shipping magnate, commissioned the construction of the current main building. Originally a medieval farm, Gamlehaugen fell into disuse during the Black Death but resumed as farmland in 1665 within the Fjøsanger manor. It gained independence from Fjøsanger in 1809. Notable owners over the years included Marie Krohn, Schack Stenberg, and Alexander Bull. Anton Mohr, the final owner to farm the estate, sold it in 1890 to Bergen artisans, with his widow retaining use of the main building per the sale contract.
Troldhaugen Edvard Grieg Museum
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
Troldhaugen, situated in Bergen, Norway, was the home of renowned composer Edvard Grieg and his wife Nina. It encompasses the Edvard Grieg Museum, Grieg’s villa, the composer's hut where he composed music, and their final resting place. Now operated as the Edvard Grieg Museum Troldhaugen, it serves as a dedicated memorial to Grieg. In 1995, a museum building was added, housing a permanent exhibition on Grieg's life and music, along with a shop and restaurant. Grieg’s own Steinway grand piano, a gift from 1892, remains in the villa's living room and is used for private concerts and events during the Bergen International Festival. Troldsalen, an elegant concert hall completed in 1985, hosts concert series in summer and autumn, showcasing Grieg's legacy against the backdrop of Lake Nordås and the composer's hut. The hall's floor-to-ceiling windows offer a picturesque view of the surroundings.
St. Mary's Church
  • 15m
  • Admission ticket included
St. Mary's Church is Bergen's oldest existing building, constructed in the mid-1100s. By the end of the Middle Ages, it served as the German church in Bergen. It boasts the most intricate church art among all medieval churches in Norway.
