With its 11th-century origins, Bergen is as rich in history as it is large in size. Its downtown cultural sights are set against a backdrop of mountain scenery, making it a visual treat to explore. Discover Bergen’s beauty, and learn about it, too, while aboard your hop-on hop-off sightseeing bus.
Show your voucher to the driver, and then hop on board at any of the 13 stops around town. Plug in your audio guide to learn about Bergen and its sights, and hop off whenever and wherever you like. If you prefer, stay on board for the full 45-minute loop. Your ticket is valid for 24 hours from the time of first use.
Perhaps take a stroll around Fisketorget, Bergen’s famous fish market that’s home to colorful flowers as well as fish. Have your camera ready to capture photos of the vibrant wood houses that make up the UNESCO World Heritage neighborhood of Bryggen. Or, disembark near the Fløibanen cable car for a panoramic ride to Mt Fløyen where majestic views await.
Other attractions you may want to hop off and visit include St Mary’s Church, Frederiksberg Fortress, and the Edvard Grieg Museum, home to memorabilia about the Bergen composer. Entrance fees to all attractions are at your own expense.
