The 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.

Bryggen Fodor's Choice

A magnificent view of Bergen and its suburbs can be taken in from the top of Mt. Fløyen, the most accessible of the city's seven mountains. The eight-minute ride on the funicular takes you to the top, 320 meters (1,050 feet) above the sea. A car departs at least every half hour. On the top is a restaurant and café, a shop, and a playground, not to mention friendly mountain goats. Several hiking trails on top of the mountain allow you to explore the scenery. After you visit, you can stroll along the path that goes back to downtown (keep in mind it's a long walk, albeit downhill) or explore the mountains that lead to Ulriken, the highest of the mountains surrounding Bergen.
