What an amazing view of Bergen from the top. Cost isn't terribly expensive, around $8 US. The car leaves around every 5 or so minutes, so there is very little waiting. Once at the top, tou get an amazing, unobstructed view of practically all of Bergen. There is a small shop, 2 restaurants, play areas, some trails, and even a lake up there. We chose to walk back down. Its on a wide, gravel road, so its not too bad and there are some cool places to get some other shots of the city. Highly recommend.

One of the best relaxing attractions in Bergen. It took awhile to get up to the park but once we were up there it was very beautiful and nice. 10/10 recommend you definitely need to come here if your visiting Bergen.

The train is amazing. Takes 10 mins to reach the top. On clear days, views would be good too - I was not so lucky. There are walking trails around the top and some of them can take you to foothill too. There is a cozy cafe and some play area for kids. One can spend 2 hours there before wanting to head back. Train ride is a must do. At least one-way!

Beautiful views from top of Bergen city and fjord. Nice restaurant to have a beer 🍺 and enjoy the view. Plus, who knew there were goats on top of the hill !!! 🐐 🐐

Very scenic & beautiful views from the top station. Beautiful nature with natural lake at the top. Very sad & unfortunate experience of shopping malls & soveirigen shops don’t give stamp & proper documents for the refund of tax for foreign national. So be careful to get stamp on the bills & receipts for tax refund.

If you have not seen the city from the top. It’s a nice place to explore. If you are with kids they will enjoy the top. They have lots of play area for kids and sheep’s. Lots of path for hiking with restaurants on the top. It’s only 2.5 km from the top so you can easily walk down while cooking by seeing nice views of the city.

We went on an absolutely beautiful day. Our son loved the playground at the top. We enjoyed the amazing views and hiking to one of the peaceful lakes up top. We paid to take it up and then walked down. It was a very lovely walk through the woods down, although a little steep in some parts.

Atrocious day to go up the funicular, but it was a wonderful experience . You can buy tickets in advance or at the gate, either via a person or machine. It's all very efficient. Wait times were OK though I imagine in summer it could get very busy. Views would be fantastic on clearer days. Up the top is a cafe, shop , toilets childrens play area and various walks for hikers . Adult price is equivalent of £9.50

Going with this small mountain train is a must! From the top of the mountain you’ll see a million dollar view. If you’re fortunate you’ll be in Bergen in a sunny day. Unfortunately the weather during our trip was rainy and cloudy, but we could enjoy the majestic view at the whole city, the sea and the nearby mountains for few minutes before a storm started. It’s extremely satisfying. This place is part of my top 3 attractions in Bergen.

Great views of Bergen! Reasonably priced, we took it up one way and walked back down. Tons of space at the top to get different views. Very kid friendly with a play park and Troll village. Cafe, restaurant and shop up top as well.

I took multiple trips up and down the Fløibanen during my visit to Bergen. It’s about €20 for each return trip, and totally worth the view and experience at the top of Mount Fløyen. Highly recommend to go at least once before sunset and once early morning when it first opens.

This is a wonderful experience for young and old.👶👴👵 It begins with a short train ride to the top. Once there the views are breathtaking. You can see and fall in love with Bergen's true beauty. They've done a great job with the entire setup. They have gift shops, restaurants and a hotel being renovated at the top as well as trails for jogging, walking and just enjoying the beauty of nature. Children will love the goats that roam around freely as well as both locals and tourists walking their dogs. The nature trail is paved but you can go off the trail and enjoy a hike to the bottom instead of returning on the train ride down. Well worth the few bucks to enjoy a quick trip or an all day tour of nature.👍❤

It was great experience to have in Bergen! Round trip is about $12, or you can choose one way if you have time to walking back in the city. It would be amazing view if it’s a sunny day!

Truly a majestic view! The infrastructure is very clean and convenient, but the real wonders are atop of the mountain, splendid nature just a couple km from the city. The round-trip ticket was quit affordable, 12 eur

Bergen tourist attractions. Go up when the weather is nice. There are many restaurants, places to rest, and things to see at the top. Take your time climbing up. I recommend around 11 o'clock. For parking, please use the paid parking lot at a nearby building. I parked here. https://maps.app.goo.gl/Z6LTyHst9XMB6GD48?g_st=ic

Super tired from the other hikes in Norway, I took the Floibanen here in Bergen. Very efficient, it goes every 15 minutes with 5 compartments to take people up. On the way up or down, you see the other car and it's nice to take in the views going up and down. Also cool to see the capacity and sees how many seats are left. Glad we took this because it was raining quite a bit that day and we got to save our energy as well. I believe it was 160 NOK for a round trip ticket and in that instance, it was worth it.

Given that it's freezing now, there was no wait for the funicular. It will take you up to the mountain where there's an excellent view of the area, restaurants, playground and trails to hike. Take the first spot in the funicular, bottom, if you can for the best view.

Other than being a lookout point, you can also hike the trails up there. There’s also a mini playground for kids and few different cafes. Restroom is available. Check the weather before you go up. The route will have several stops throughout the short journey. You can get a single ticket up and hike down.

Well, what can I say- probably the greatest view over Bergen from here. I only regret that i didn't have the time and preparation to do a hike there. I took the funicular which is like super easy and fast and enjoyed one of the most beautiful sunsets ever!

If you want to treat yourself to some excellent food and some good wine, visit this place. The food they serve is the highest quality you can find. We tried the octopus, halibut and the crab legs. Absolutely delicious. Ask for Lucas from Argentina:) he was wonderful.

Great stop on your tour of Bergen. A must see even if just strolling through. Got time for lunch? You’ll find all you need right here. From fish and chips to salmon burgers. Buy fish to take home and prepare or just let them do it and eat in a prepared spot. As the weather changes quickly there is plenty of covered seating for everyone with heaters. There is a great energy in this section of town. Many passing through. Highly recommend a stop here for eating, but bring your wallet it’s not cheap.

Very expensive. no outdoor market when visiting today but plenty to see inside and plenty of sea food items all fresh. You can get local cakes and freshly made baguettes. There is a place just inside the door by the lift for the tourist information which is upstairs to get a lovely cup of tea.

The Market has a lot of local residents selling sea food, fresh fruits and homemade goods. We saw a few performers in the market which made the shopping a bit entertaining. One thing that I found was unique was whale meat which tasted different but delicious.

Unfortunately it's under construction at the moment so the outside isn't as appealing, but inside the market is full of varieties of seafood and multiple restaurants to dine at. We ate at Fish Me and had both the soup and whale for dinner and these dishes were some of the best seafood I've ever had. Great central location and ended up walking past it everyday we were there!

Love the fish market. You can get stone crab claws for a reasonable price. Most of the seafood you get here will be fresh and of course they taste amazing. Highly recommend this place to you when you are in Bergen before you step onto your voyager. Enjoy!

Bergen's Fish Market is a bustling and vibrant hub that brings the city's maritime character to life. Located near the waterfront, it offers a sensory feast with the sights, sounds, and smells of fresh seafood. The stalls showcase a diverse array of fish, shellfish, and other local delicacies, providing a fantastic opportunity to experience Norway's culinary traditions. The market's lively atmosphere, coupled with the friendly vendors, creates an engaging and authentic experience for both locals and visitors. Whether you're a seafood enthusiast or just curious about Bergen's maritime culture, the Fish Market is a must-visit destination.

A place for tourists, but definitely worth it! Sea urchin (taste quite ok, but ... we don't have to eat them), fish soup (excellent) and whale meat (I ate it, but somehow my conscience bit me all the time).

If you are looking for fresh seafood, and Bergen, this is the place to go. The prices are not cheap so be prepared. Quality of food is outstanding.. with fresh fish tanks to an endless ice bar of fresh fish, shellfish and mollusk.

It’s nice experience, lotta fish and seafood to choose from including whales meat. The only reason why I didn’t give it five stars because majority of the food is fry so there is not much options even the grill fish they still use too much oil on the flat grill. And yes very expensive paid over $50 for that small plate.

There is an indoor market all year long. The indoor market is nicely presented and has lots of seating. The fish seemed quite exotic, including the dried haring that are so historically significant to Norway. There are tanks with HUGE crabs and tiny lobsters. Also sea anemone and all sorts of other (to a tourist) exotic creatures. The outdoor market is for the summer only. It is a big dirtier and busier, as you would expect. It also has several eateries with dedicated seating. The outdoor market sells whale fresh and cooked. Whale meat is only sold in a handful of places worldwide. Norway is one of them.

Very fun fish market with locally sourced food. We enjoyed a meal next to the water

Their seafood is so fresh and delicious! The waitress recommend the set menu sincerely and explain to us that the diff between the live and frozen King Crab. No where is better than here.

I went for outdoor fish market. Variety of food & taste. Its wet & Norwegian price of course. For experience wise try some king crab, seafood platter. We have a nice dinner there. Our sitting just beside the harbour. I believe the outdoor market just open in the summer only.

Fascinating Fish Market in the middle of Bergen. Prawns were delicious.

DON"T COME HERE. This is a tourist trap place where they will fleece you. We ordered sea urchin (which looked purple on the outside and didn't resemble the ones from Japan) and couple oysters. Oysters were meh but the sea urchin was so terrible I will never forget the experience! I've never had any sea urchin like this. It was a crime to even call that. It was tiny, watery and disgusting and they charged us quite a lot for the measly meal. The local beer made up for the meal. I would have given it one star except for the fact that we ordered twice from the fish purveyors to cook at our rental and they were legit tasty. Oh and the venison sausage was so good I brought one back home.

Nice place to eat. Went for lunch and had a very good time. Service very good.

it so yummy🥰the whale and snow Crab was to juicy and fresh!! Norwegian oyster are the best!

It is very beautiful even when we visited in the winter time which we experienced all types of weather, we had rain, shower, snow, hail, high winds and a very brief of sunshine within 48 hours while we were here! Many bars, restaurants, coffee shops to enjoy! Those wooden houses show their charms no matter in the day time or night!

If there is no bunch of tourist, it's nice place to visit and to imagine what it was like to live in this area hunderets years ago. The place was destroyed by major fires few times , but fortunately it is fully restored and it still has the original design.

Very picturesque historical area with an amazing story of fires, rebuilds etc. Now housing some great boutique Norwegian touristy shops, many duty free also. Right on the harbour front. Some nice dining too but not cheap.

Very cute and historical part of the city with (some) very well-restored wooden houses, museums, forts, and pretty views over the water - definitely worth a visit when you visit Bergen to just stroll around and enjoy the houses and area

The most visited place in Bergen, the beautiful colourful houses surely look gorgeous on a rare sunny day. The narrow alleys and the vintage stores tell lot of stories! Dates back to 10th century, history of this old Viking market area is pretty amazing!

As you wander through Bryggen's narrow alleys, you'll be enchanted by the colorful wooden houses lining the waterfront. Take your time to explore the nooks and crannies of this UNESCO World Heritage site, popping into local boutiques and cafes along the way. Embrace the "kos" by cozying up with a cup of hot chocolate or a warm cinnamon bun at one of the charming cafes, like Kaffemisjonen or Det Lille Kaffekompaniet. While Bryggen is a must-see, don't miss out on exploring other neighborhoods like Nordnes and Sandviken. Rent a bike and pedal along the waterfront, stopping to admire the colorful houses and scenic views. I would recommend packing a picnic and enjoying it in one of the city's many parks, like Nygårdsparken or Nordnesparken. For a dose of nature, head to Mount Fløyen and take the funicular to the top. The panoramic views of the city and surrounding fjords are breathtaking, especially during sunset. No visit to Bergen is complete without sampling the local cuisine. Head to the Fish Market to feast on freshly caught seafood like salmon, shrimp, and king crab. I'd recommend trying traditional Norwegian restaurant like Enhjørningen or Bryggeloftet & Stuene, where you can indulge in hearty dishes like "fårikål" (lamb stew) or "rømmegrøt" (sour cream porridge).

Just amazing area. Old and unique buildings. My advice if you are photographer or architect get your camera and visit this area 😊

This beautiful medieval wharf brings you back in time. Walking between the wooden building is a very nice experience. If you are visiting Bergen you will definitely need to visit it and I believe you won't regret it.

A nice place to visit. You can reach here by walk from the city center and also enjoy a city view by walking around before you go to hang around by boat from nearby pier. There are a lot of nearby seafood market that you should not miss

Amazing historical site. We loved the architecture, the shopping, the food. We came here many times during our vacation. We took a boat tour a got some good views of Bryggen.

Beautifull place one of must to visit while in Bergen. Lots of suvenier shops, restaurants and the heart of city. All familie enjoyed the walk. Some of buildings are now under restauration, but it was lots of to see anyway. Try a walk around these old wooden buildings and feel the spirit of the place. You may find some hiden bars and treasures. Enjoy.

Settled in the heart of Bergen, the old unique buildings called Bryggen. Unfortunately right now, there are a lot of buildings under restoration but I was here six years ago and it is super cool to see the different colors and the history of the buildings. There are a ton of tourist shops selling souvenirs and one of the companies turned this into a hotel, I think the Radisson. Cool to see but it defintely lost its timely touch.

It’s one of the most important tourist attractions in Bergen. It was built by German traders of Hanseatic age in 14th century century. It was destroyed by fire many times but rebuilt again. It’s worth going inside small lanes to see the old buildings, some of which are more than 300 years old. The outside area facing port has got a lot of restaurants and shops which are very popular with tourists and locals. Worth seeing.

Bryggen, the old wharf of Bergen, is a reminder of the town’s importance as part of the Hanseatic League’s trading empire from the 14th to the mid-16th century. Many fires, the last in 1955, have ravaged the characteristic wooden houses of Bryggen. Its rebuilding has traditionally followed old patterns and methods, thus leaving its main structure preserved, which is a relic of an ancient wooden urban structure once common in Northern Europe. Today, some 62 buildings remain of this former townscape. It is a lovely place to walk around, have a coffee or spend some times in the shops. A must see when visiting Bergin.

Beautiful Bergen. You can just walk around the city and will find somethings to do.

Amazing place to go for a stroll. Nice and cozy shops, also interesting for buying souvenirs. I suggest to walk in the small streets between the wooden houses, they open into more houses, shops, gardens and wonderful settings. I suggest to visit the place in the morning and in the evening too. It’s very stunning. A great idea is to take a cruise on one of the fjords easily reached from Bergen and watch Bryggen while going away. A visit here is a must do when in Bergen!

The area of Bryggen in Bergen is a must see and very close to the city center. The old, historical wharf has lots to offer and is great to visit in the early morning or late evening. It’s usually very busy during the day. Little shops and restaurants are located here with tons of local goods to try out or buy. Most of the shops are also tax free (you can claim your tax back at the airport).

This was our emergency stop on our Northern Lights cruise, what a lovely place to stop off, bought some pastries to take on board.

It’s located upstairs, you can take the elevator or stairs. Plenty of information and brochures available for you to choose from. Clean visitor center. Staff was helpful too.

Pleasant staff but trainee gave us completely wrong recommendations about visiting the Hanseatic museum (opposite the office but closed until 2026), distance to a destination (half the time he told us) and telling us to download an app to buy local transport tickets but neglected to mention that if you buy tickets you have to use them immediately (absolutely not necessary as there are handy machines at the stops).

It is located in the heart of Bergen next to famous Fish Market. It was very spacious with enough seating place The staff was very very helpful and courteous. Beside all tourist information, they also sell the tickets for all tours. Another highlight was that they exchange foreign currency. Please note to exchange foreign currency from bank is a big headache in Norway.

Good place to get detailed information about Bergen must see places and to buy Bergen card. Amazing card including tones of museums and discounts.

Very smart and well done out office, enough staff to see to all enquiries and mostly helpful. Good array of gifts, especially fridge magnets and little models of Bryggen, which were of a high quality. You can also buy tickets for various attractions also.

Excellent. The team is very helpful, provides detailed information and advices the most suitable activities depending on stay and preferences. Mrs. Ploy assisted and provided the best recommendations and tours and she booked them; also she explained about the bergen card and all the visits to do within and outside Bergen reachable by bus.

Helpful place for Bergen and environs questions. However, they have virtually nothing about all of Norway. Yeah, I get that they are all about Bergen, but Bergen visitors also go other places on their Norway visit and would remember fondly a place that at least offered literature for the rest of the country. Just IMHO.

I went to the place and it was a great experience if you are a tourist. You can get any information regarding your travel dates and time accordingly. To me they really explained well and got to know if you're with a kid what you can do and which place can be really nice to visit according to your plan... So to me nice experience overall.

We came here to exchange the local currency on a rainy morning! The exchange rate is 1 euro to 9.38 Kn, not the most favorite exchange rate. The staffs are friendly, the location are nice and clean!

All the area is being design with information centre on the first floor with big open space with information desks and big dividing exhibition panels. On one side office and conference room on the aether big Windows for all the length with magnificent scenarios of Bergen old buildings reflected on sea.worth visit staffs well informed and amazing helpfully. Lift take you dawn were restaurants and fisheries .locals products , fruits and vegetables. You have the choice to buy fish and take home or eats on the veranda with sea front.

So helpful! The woman who served us was really great at helping us make sense of all the actives that were available and which ones matched our wants and budget. She organised and sold us a four day fjord-kayak-hiking tour and we left quite satisfied. Warning: the wait for serve was long! And in the end we felt the 'Norway in a Nutshell' tour was over priced (but, to be fair, we didn't have ideal weather). However, the kayaking and hiking made our trip.

I must say I went there to ask what to do on my last extra day, and the lady working there was very helpful, patient, and professional. She offered me all different options and let me choose slowly (I waited aside, and some people took turns). Then when I wanted to book a cruise the system wasn't working and the employee had to call the agents so it took some time. When a passive-aggressive lady said Im holding the line and asked to see if I had the number, the employee told her off and said it's my business only. I loved that, thank you! I ended up booking online the next day.

Very helpful staff. Would recommend taking the cruise to Fjords at 10am. 3 hour round trip with the most heavency scenery ever

Great view - you can either hike up or get the cable car. There is a small restaurant at the top. The walk from the top to Floyen is about 15km and takes 5 hours if you are not an experienced mountain top walker. The first part of the trek is a bit confusing to follow as it is only signposted by small poles and you're going away from the end destination. Once you're along the ridge, it's easier to follow the tors. The terrain is quite rocky and lots of small ups and downs - you want waterproof, sturdy walking shoes and even then, it's not an easy walk. However, many locals will race past you and make the walk (or they might be running) look a breeze!

A great place to visit with stunning views of all of Bergen and more! We took the cable car up, which was great!

We did a hike late March. We took a rather long one. It was amaaaaazing though kinda hard at some point. We may have lost the path so we just tried to go up. There was some snow (well, when you don't have the adequate gear, it can seem a lot) which made the hike harder than it should've been. Still, it was amazing and I would totally recommend going up mount Ulriken in the longest and hardest way possible ^^ it's more fun 😊

Absolutely amazing place. Can recommend hiking up to this mountain instead of using a cable-car, especially if the weather is nice. Even as fat person as me could climb to the mountain in 1.5 hours without any issues. The views are rewarding.

Hiked up via the stairs. Took me 60min from Montana to the top. The view along the hike is beautiful in sunny day.

Very much different from Alpen hiking , Epic view in good weather ! and perfect training location for trail running !

I was hiking to Ulriken from Blåmanen, yes I gotta admit it was a bit too much to go and took a lot of time and energy. But still I have no regret to hike here, it was beautiful and fun.

1400 stairs to the top. It is steep but worth the effort. It connects to a few other trails which can all be done in one day.

Wonderful place especially in summer 🌞⛱️. The hike is a bit long if it starts from the bottom (2-2.5 hours). From Montana it is around 60-70 minutes but worth it. Cable lift 🚠 is bit expensive though.

If you want a pleasure hike, it’s not. I don’t know, if there is any other safe way up, other then stone stairs. Marks on the trail are not clear so accidentaly we find ourselfs on a bike road. Cable car is expensive. Views are nice, also we met few sheeps.

It is one of the major tourist attraction in Bergen. There is a special bus leaves from near Tourist Information Office for this attraction every half an hour. Their charges include to and fro transport and the ticket for cable car. It takes about 7/8 minutes in cable car to reach top. The view from top in all direction was just too good. On a clear sunny days one can see miles ahead. One could see entire Bergen city below. We saw few people going for a hike from here on top of adjoining hills. The zipline on top of another hill was very daring. There was a restaurant serving tea/coffee/beer and snacks. Don't miss it...

Excellent views of the city, and higher than the ones you get from the Fløyen, true, BUT, the fact that there are not many things to do nor places to visit once you're up there makes you have to focus on the views, which are excellent, yes, but... for how long? Also, the round trip with the funicular is not cheap at all, NOK365/per person, and it takes 5min each way (you can do it by foot via the stairs route or the hike).⁷

Very beautiful hike. A little bit challenging but totally worth it.

It’s a beautiful place there. You have a good view over Bergen. A one way ticket cost 20 nok. On the mountain is a lovely cafe/restaurant and restrooms. You have a free water refill. Everything is very clean so place take your waste with you and don’t throw it into the nature.

Extremly beautiful view from the top of the mountain, we took the cable car up the mountain and hiked to Fløyen, this is a 13 km hike and is very beautiful. I would really recommend doing this hike, and you can always take the Fløibanen down if you are to tired to walk down.

Cable car is very expensive, but driving in it is great experience. View from the top is awesome, and I am not sorry that I go up, climb, for 3 hours. I was exhausted, but content.

Incredible, panoramic views of the whole of Bergen can be experienced at the top of Ulriken. You can either hike to the top, or take a quick 5 minutes cable car that costs around €30 for a return trip. There is also a restaurant and cafe up there, and many walking paths to explore further.

Very interesting museum showing exhibits from the Hanse time. How did the people (only males) live, what did they trade with and what were the rules of living together. I recommend it.

(Translated by Google) The museum is located in the Bryggen district, the best known of Bergen. Visiting it you find yourself taking a step back in time: many furnishings of these rooms have been recovered after the various fires that have occurred and many have been faithfully reconstructed. It is a historical cross-section that allows us to understand how the population of Bergen lived at the time of the Hanseatic League ... from the windows you can also glimpse the nearby church of Santa Maria, a very beautiful building that unfortunately we could not visit at the internal. The visit is worth the ticket price ... (Original) Il museo si trova nel quartiere Bryggen, il più conosciuto di Bergen. Visitando ci si ritrova a fare un salto nel tempo: molti arredi di queste stanze sono stati recuperati dopo i vari incendi che si sono succeduti e molti sono stati fedelmente ricostruiti. Si tratta di uno spaccato storico che ci permette di capire come viveva la popolazione di Bergen all'epoca della Lega Anseatica...dalle finestre si intravede anche la vicina chiesa di Santa Maria, un edificio molto bello che purtroppo non abbiamo potuto visitare all'interno. La visita vale il prezzo del biglietto...

Excellent museum detailing the history of the Bryggen. Informative and good displays of what it used to be like. The building itself is one of the oldest in the area and gives you a real sense of what it was like living and working here. Reasonable entrance fee for a worthwhile visit. Staff were friendly and the exhibits were all well done and laid out. Spans 3 floors. Recommended.

Closed until 2026! The museum offers a tour through some other parts, which I wouldn’t recommend to anyone, as you’re just paying to see 5 rooms with nothing in it. It’s always just tables and benches. The exhibition didn’t move to the new area of the museum.

Well worthwhile doing the guided tour as you learn so much about the Hanseats and their way of life. The long rows of wooden buildings are beautiful and also the assembly room which is now the museum. Interesting to learn about their trading routes and the trade in Stockfish in Bergen.

Small but well preserved little museum showing how the early settlers of Bergen were conducting their business in this little home. Shows some nifty inventions of those days and how they spent their time working and sleeping there. Got a bundle deal of entry to 3 museums (Hanseatic, fishery) including this, plus a bus that takes you around them.

Nice place to visit. How great is the guide depends on your luck. We got Hilde and she was amazing

A small museum, you won't spend much time there but it is interesting to visit.

The Hanseatic Museum is closed for renovation and expansion, but the Schoetstuene is open and we caught the last tour of the day. The guide provided a lot of the information we might have gotten from the museum. The history of the Hanseatic League is fascinating, and the original buildings on the tour were very interesting. The guide was enthusiastic and engaging.

Thanks Lina for the great English tour 😊
