Famous Landmarks
Bryggen
60.3913°N, 5.3221°E
Bryggen is Bergen's Hanseatic quarter, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979. Its colourful wooden houses, rebuilt after the fire of 1702, line the Vågen wharf and bear witness to four centuries of maritime trade between Norway and the Hanseatic League. The narrow alleyways between the wooden warehouses now house artisan workshops, galleries, and shops.
Fløibanen Funicular
60.3913°N, 5.3221°E
The Fløibanen is a funicular railway connecting Bergen's city centre to the summit of Mount Fløyen at 320 metres elevation in just six minutes. Opened in 1918, it offers one of Norway's most spectacular views, embracing the city, the surrounding seven mountains, and the network of fjords stretching to the horizon. The summit is the starting point for numerous hiking trails through the forests.
Fish Market
60.3913°N, 5.3221°E
Bergen's Fish Market (Fisketorget) is one of Norway's most famous outdoor markets, in operation since the 13th century. Located on the Vågen harbourside opposite Bryggen, it offers fresh fish, seafood, and local specialities such as smoked salmon and king prawns daily, in a lively and welcoming atmosphere.

The sky of Bergen
At 60° north latitude, Bergen is famous for its abundant rainfall, but this makes its clear nights all the more spectacular. When the sky parts between the seven mountains, the contrast reveals a starry vault of remarkable intensity. The high latitude allows occasional northern lights sightings in winter — a rare and mesmerising spectacle above the fjords.
