About Bergen

Take a stroll through Bryggen, Bergen’s UNESCO-listed historic waterfront, where colorful wooden buildings house artisan shops, galleries, and cafés. 

Ride the Fløibanen funicular to the top of Mount Fløyen for panoramic views of the city, fjords, and surrounding mountains. The hiking trails are especially beautiful in May. 

Visit the Fish Market to sample fresh Norwegian seafood and local specialties. The outdoor market reopens for the summer season in May. 

Explore Bergen’s museums, including the Hanseatic Museum, where you can learn about the city’s trading history, and KODE Art Museums home to one of the largest art collections in the Nordic region.

Families with children can enjoy the playgrounds and easy walking trails on Mount Fløyen, visit the Bergen Aquarium to see seals, penguins, and marine life, or take a boat trip around the harbor and nearby fjords. The combination of outdoor activities and child-friendly attractions makes Bergen an excellent destination for families in spring.

For a memorable day trip, join a fjord cruise from Strandkaien 16, just a short walk from Bryggen and the Fish Market. From here, you can experience spectacular fjords, waterfalls, and snow-capped mountains at their springtime best.
