Travelling to Norway is synonymous with unforgettable memories. It's a fascinating country, where wilderness meets captivating history. From the fjords to the bewitching northern lights, not forgetting...
Going solo in Bergen? Start your day with a kaffe by the Bryggen quay, then rent a sykkel (bicycle) to explore the cobbled streets. Bergeners love to pedal, even in the rain! The tourist office offers detailed maps of the city's bike paths, so don't hesitate to ask.
For lunch, try a smørbrød, a typical tartine filled with fresh produce. In the evening, try a klubbmusikk and dance to the local music in a bar in the center of town.
But Bergen's magic also lies in its surroundings. Go hiking in the mountains surrounding the city. Well-marked trails make the experience accessible even to novices. Travelling alone in Bergen gives you the freedom to discover this Norwegian gem at your own pace.
Getting lost in Bergen's cobbled streets , smelling the fresh air coming off the fjords, it's all very charming. With a turleder (local guide) on a Bergen package tour, it's even better! You'll discover not only iconic sites like Bryggen quay or Fisketorget market, but also hidden gems. Local organizers, with their in-depth kjennskap, or knowledge, often highlight ancestral traditions, family recipes and anecdotes from old Bergen.
The major advantage? No need to juggle ferry schedules to explore the fjords or find the best spot to enjoyrakfisk (fermented fish). It's all planned, but with free time for personal discovery.
So, if you're dreaming of a rich and authentic Norwegian adventure, embark on a Bergen package tour. Let us guide you and enjoy every øyeblikk (moment)!
Bergen, with its winding streets and majestic mountains, offers a variety of transport options to explore every corner. The Bybanen, or streetcar, is a modern marvel that links the airport to the city center in the blink of an eye. But for those who want to breathe in the fresh air, nothing beats a good old-fashioned sykkel(bicycle). Bergeners are crazy about it!
If you're looking for a bit of elevation, take the Fløibanen funicular to the top of Mount Fløyen. The view from the top is breathtaking! And, for undeniable charm, nothing beats a boat trip along the harbor, with a stopover at Bryggen, those emblematic historic wooden houses.
But watch out! Bergen is also known as Byen mellom de syv fjell, or the city between the seven mountains. If you feel like it, put on your hiking boots and set off to conquer the peaks.
