Con
Bergen has a Coastal climate, and it rains a lot in periods.
In a nutshell
A must see in Norway. (And it's close to the most beautiful fjords.)
73 Reviews Skomakerdiket (means Shoemaker lake) is just one kilometer from the funicular top station. A fine destination on days where you want an easy hike. You can make it longer by walking up the gravel road instead of the funicular, or continue on one of the many trails up in to the mountains. At...
42 Reviews Bergen remains tied to the sea, and this is obvious in the stalls of the fish market. Walk about and check out the vendor's products, some of which can be sample. It is an easy stroll from the Bryggen warehouse area, so the two can be combined easily into one outing. Note that there is an artisan...
50 Reviews By the time I reached to city center its almost evening.I had just 3 hours in hand so I was literally on run to see whatever comes in front of me.I reached this place without asking any direction.After reading on internet I came to know this building history is as old as 900 years,my god cant even...

6 Reviews and 336 Opinions We have chosen that hotel because the price was much smaller than the others and it was available...
9 Reviews Went there for the birthday of a friend working there, on Sunday. Good points: Gnocchis were good, quite cheap (89kr) Bad: Close at 11PM, and quantity is far to be suffisiant... same thing for all what my freinds took (calzone, pizza, pasta...). In this case I prefer to pay 200kr for a **big**...
4 Reviews >>Enhjorningen / Bryggen - directly at the habour & close to the fishmarkt<< I was invited by local colleagues to the Enhjorningen in Oct 2008. Wonderful fish restaurant in the city of Bergen. Located in an old wodden building (18th / 19th century (?)) with a view to the habour. The...
14 Reviews Landmark is a club located in the art museum building. Accordingly the program is rather "artsy" and creative. An urban crowd is gathering there for uncommon parties in an uncommon setting. I went to the monthly "Stagediving" party (every last Friday of the month) and it was one of the best parties...
8 Reviews Cafe Ugla is a somewhat bizarre cross between a cafe, a restaurant, a pub and a nightclub. The sign out front refers to the venue as a restaurant/night club. One website refers to it as a student bar with "cheap beer and occasional concerts". To me, it was a cross between a pub and a working men's...
25 Reviews I recommend that you make arrangements with a travel agency package. All of your arrangements can be taken care off in one call. . We started the trip to Bergen with a train ride from Oslo to Bergen on the Bergenbanen NSB AS
11 Reviews Boats run daily Sogndal to and from Bergen (via Balestrand), more often June-August. Additionally, from June - August, boat service continues to Flåm with connections to Gudvangen sometimes possible. In 2009, One-way fare from Flåm to Bergen is NOK 645 for a single adult, NOK 968 "miniprice" for a...
11 Reviews When you're in Bergen you have to know what this song's about. it's a Must for all visitors.Brann means fire in Norwegian. Yahoo Heia Brann, Heia Brann Blod e tjukkere enn vann. Heia Brann Helt fra Kniksen til Paldan Har mitt hjerte stått i Brann (my translation) come on Brann, Come on...
5 Reviews It is said of the Bergensers that they are born with Wellies on their feet. It might be true actually. I have never before been to a place where rubber boots were actually an item of fashion and available not only in all colours and sizes but also as ankle, knee-high, girly, flower-power, posh,...
5 Reviews Otherwise Bergen is extremely pleasant and safe town, except for one thing... Yes, the prices! What ever stories you have heard about the huge prices in Norway, they all are true ;) Well, if you stay in Bergen you'll just get used to it, but for a visitor it might come as a surprise. How does more...
10 Reviews Rain, rain, rain... Fortunately, the Sun was on rendez-vous, when I was in Bergen. I was suprised to see an umbrella distributor machine in the street (I read that it was the world's first umbrella vending machine)??? But it seems useful in case of... Bergen is Europes rainiest city. The yearly...
3 Reviews There are many places to purchase sweaters in Bergen and the Fish market is actually the best place. Be careful of the shop at the end of the wharf that sells windstop sweaters. These are designed in Norway and made in Singapore. They are not authentic. There is no law on labeling source like in the...
3 Reviews Not a single Norwegian has survived among the tenants of the stalls in the fish market. Spaniards, Italians, Japanese peddle their seafood to you in your native tongue. Tons of tourists probably buy the stuff. No poetry, not even fake folklore. Very sad.
20 Reviews If you're planning to go on a hike or long walk, women, take a waterproof bag. Good walking shoes. Some of the streets are steep AND cobbled so no slippery shoes. The paths up Floyen are wild so hiking or running shoes. The weather does not seem to be particularly windy, so I would say you can...
9 Reviews If you can, take the "Norway in a Nutshell" day trip from Bergen and experience the beauty of the Nordic fjords from the Bergen Railway line and the bloody steep Flam Railway line. Along the way, you'll see beautiful waterfalls like this. I did the trip from the reverse as I travelled from Oslo to...
6 Reviews A good trip outside (well, uphill, actually) Bergen is Mount Floyen, which can be reached either on foot or by funicular. it's an excellent viewpoint over the city and a great place to hike the local woods - weather permitting of course (meaning: watch out for the infamous Bergen rain). if the...
19 Reviews I found the old building beautiful and interesting. They are all around, in the city centre, in the Brygeen and even when getting further up the hill to the Floyen direction. So I added here few examples.
11 Reviews An important part of Bergen's identity is the old wooden warf buildings called "Bryggen" Bryggen was placed on UNESCO's World Heritage list in 1979 and is now one of 4 sites on that list from Norway. These old warf buildings date back to the 14th century when Bergen was part of the Hanseatic...
