1 Best Sight in Bergen, Norway

Background Illustration for Sights

The heart of Bergen is Torgallmenningen, the city's central square, which runs from Ole Bulls plass to Fisketorget on the harbor, facing Bryggen. From here, the rest of Bergen spreads up the sides of the seven mountains that surround it, with some sights concentrated near the university and others near a small lake called Lille Lungegårdsvann. Fløyen, the mountain to the east of the harbor, is the most accessible for day-trippers. Before you begin your walking tour, you can take the funicular (cable car) up to the mountaintop for a particularly fabulous overview of the city.

Musikkpaviljongen

Sentrum
Erected in 1888, this cast-iron bandstand sits in the middle of a surprisingly quiet park. The bandstand itself reflects the Moorish design popular at the time.
