Bergen city breaks
Bergen is a charming city where colourful wooden houses line the waterfront, and scenic cobbled streets invite you to explore. Head to the historic Bryggen district to find streets brimming with cosy cafés and boutique shops. Fancy a taste of local life? Nothing says Bergen like tucking into fresh seafood at the famous fish market, then sipping the local tipple as evening falls, with buzzing bars and live music venues that really bring this Scandi city to life. Beyond Bergen, breathtaking fjords and dramatic mountains await – you can take a scenic boat trip or ride the Fløibanen funicular for panoramic views you’ll never forget.Popular Hotels in Bergen
