 | Bergen Mount Fløien Reviews | 1 - 10 of 71 |  |
The funicular from Bergen city centre to the top of mount Fløyen (320 m above sea level) is one of Norway's most popular attractions - the ride takes around 6 minutes, and both while you're on board and once at the top you'll have great views of central Bergen, with surrounding fjords and islands.
Enjoy the views, buy yourself an ice cream (or a troll...:-) in the kiosk, or have dinner in the restaurant - before strolling around Fløyen's many marked paths. The walk back down to town is very pleasant, and will take around 30-45 minutes - both through woods and old parts of Bergen. Check out the maps on signposts by the funicular station, or buy a map in the kiosk.
The funicular operates every 15 minutes (and more frequently when it's busy) - from early morning until 23.30 weekdays and 23 Sundays. (Until midnight in summer). When the ticket office is closed, get your ticket from ticket vending machines at the stations.
Prices:
Adult return 70 NOK
Adult single 35 NOK
Children (4-16 years) half price
Family (2 adults + 2 children) 175 NOK return

 Mount Floien and the funicular

In my opinion, one "must-do," even on the shortest visit, is to go to the top of Mount Fløyen. You can walk up if you like, but the most fun way is to take the Fløybanen funicular. Atop the mountain, you are rewarded with excellent views of Bergen and the sea. Facilities at the top include a cafeteria (only open weekends in Winter), a souvenir shop, a playground, and several walking paths.
The funicular opens at 7:30 Monday-Friday, 8:00 Saturday, and 9:00 Sunday. Last trip down is midnight May-August, 11:30PM Semptember-April. Departures are every 15 minutes, but will run more frequently if demand is high.
Fares are NOK 35 1-way, NOK 70 return. Children 4-16 years old pay half price. Children under 4 ride free. A new "Family Card" for 2 adults and 2 children costs NOK 175 for a round-trip to the summit.
10-ride cards cost NOK 280. 20, 40, and 60-ride cards are also available, but offer no additional discount to the 10-ride cards. A day card costs NOK 140. If you have a Bergen Card, you can get one free round-trip journey on the funicular. Address: Vertrlidsallmenning 21, N-5014 BergenPhone: +47 55 33 68 00Directions: From the fish market, walk up Vertrlidsallmenning. You will see a large white building with the "Fløibanen" logo.Website: http://www.floibanen.no/visartikkel.asp?art=309 Other Contact: info@floibanen.no

Mount Floyen is probably one of the most famous tourist attractions in Norway and Scandinavia as well. Tourists from all over the world coming here and taking the unique funicular to the mountaintop. But it is not only the view or the funicular but also the nature around, for more details check my Off The Beaten Path tips.

 View from Mt Floyen by aah_stone
The day we went up was a clear if a little cold kind of a day.
From the top we went for a lovely walk through pretty woodland and came across a lake which we went all the way around. Found an old broken bridge that I tried to cross and feel through, no damage done though!
Souvenier and gift shop open at the top.
Also a restaurant open in the summer at the top. Leave a Comment Address: Vetrlidsallmenningen 21Phone: 55 33 68 00Directions: Lower station is around 150m from the fish market.

Fløyen is one of the seven mountains surrounding Bergen. It is easy to reach the top, you can walk up in about 30 minutes slow walk or you can take the cable cars.
Fløyen provides you with a good view over Bergen, the ocean and there is also a cafe, a big map and lots of tracking paths up there.
A bit touristy but it is nice. When I got visitors to Bergen, I always brought them here. Address: Close to the fish marketDirections: Near Bryggen
