The Hanseatic Wharf: Bryggen
Your journey into the heart of Bergen's rich history begins at the iconic

As you stroll along the cobbled corridors, each twist and turn tells its own tale, with charming boutiques and delightful cafés revealing themselves at every step.
Mount Fløyen and the Fløibanen Funicular
One of the can't-miss attractions in Bergen is the spectacular
Mount Fløyen. A ride on the
Fløibanen Funicular will not only provide a quaint ascent into the green-shrouded hills, but it will also gift you a panoramic view of Bergen that will imprint on your memory forever. Atop this serene mount, nature paths and lookout points await eager explorers, and you can even spot some of the city’s soft-eyed, friendly goats.
