Bergen Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)

Bryggen comercial Buildings

Bryggen, also known as Tyskebryggen, is a series of Hanseatic heritage commercial buildings lining up the eastern side of the Vågen harbour in the city of Bergen, Norway. Bryggen has been on the UNESCO list for World Cultural Heritage sites since 1979. The city of Bergen was founded around 1070 within the boundaries of Tyskebryggen. Around 1350 a Kontor of the Hanseatic League was established there, and Tyskebryggen became the centre of the Hanseatic commercial activities in Norway. Today, Bryggen houses museums, shops, restaurants and pubs. Bergen was established before 1070 AD. In the Middle Ages, the Bryggen area encompassed all buildings between the sea and the Stretet (Øvregaten) road, from Holmen in the north to Vågsbunnen in the south. According to the Sagas, the city was founded within this area. #familytravel

Norway Europe

Tourist attraction: Bergen, Europe Attraction introduction: Norway is full of fairy-tale-like miniatures. I personally feel that small towns are more charming than bustling big cities. If you have a day in Bergen, you must leave it to Mount Fløyen! Although everyone will take the cable car to watch the sunset, strolling slowly on the mountain makes people feel worthwhile, with a dreamy forest and a lake like an oil painting Daily

Top Of Mount Fløyen

#2024wish I got the chance to visit Bergen and one of the places I visited was Mount Fløyen. I took the tram to go to the top of Mount Fløyen and it was a spectacular sight of the city from up there. After admiring the city, I strolled on top where there was lake and forest. In 2024,i hope to have the chance to go to a snow mountain in Europe. I love the sight of snow mountain in Winter.

Bergen, Norway | A colorful fairy tale town in winter

Bergen, Norway, a small town seemingly sprinkled with vibrant colors by God, leaves a deep impression. From the colorful wooden houses of Bryggen to the seafood feast, and the musical atmosphere of the Edvard Grieg Museum, every place is refreshing. ✨ Morning Magic: The colorful wooden houses of Bryggen The first ray of morning sun shines on the colorful wooden houses of Bryggen, as if time stands still. These houses seem to be buildings from fairy tales, each window and door tells a story of history. I found a souvenir shop here, the goods there are really unique. ✨ Noon Carnival: Seafood feast at Fisketorget Fish Market For foodies, Fisketorget Fish Market is undoubtedly a paradise. Fresh fish, shrimp, crab, each one is mouth-watering. Here, I tasted the local seafood dishes, each bite is a carnival of taste buds. 😋 ✨ Afternoon Melody: Musical experience at the Edvard Grieg Museum In the afternoon, I came to the Edvard Grieg Museum, which is full of music. After enjoying a seafood feast, listening to a melodious concert is just right. 🎶 ✨ Romantic Dusk: Panoramic tour on the Fløibanen funicular When the afterglow of the sunset shines on every corner of Bergen, I took the Fløibanen funicular. In just 6 minutes, I seemed to have seen the beauty of the entire city, every corner is like a painting. 🌅 ✨ Comfort under the night: A drink at the rooftop bar At night, I chose to spend at the Taket bar. This bar located on the top floor of the Zachariasbryggen building is really a perfect viewing point. The 360-degree view made me feel the beauty of Bergen's night view. A glass of wine in hand, Bergen under the night is more comfortable. 🍷 ✨ Rainy walk: Bergen's misty rain 🌧️ Despite being winter, it often rains in Bergen, but this does not reduce my love for this city. Bergen in the rain is more peaceful and beautiful, every street corner has a different story. Bergen, Norway gave me an unforgettable travel experience. Every corner here is full of stories and charm. If you also want to find a place away from the hustle and bustle, it is definitely worth a visit! 🎻🌊

Seafood in Fishmarket Bergen

#2024wish Ever since I have planned my trip to Bergen Norway, one of the places that I looked forward to was the Fishmarket. Thus, when I was there, I was so excited. The reason was that I can get to eat delicious seafood. I ordered the fish and it was so fresh and very tasty. I am craving for the dish now as I am typing. In 2024, I hope to try other food in other countries.

Our last stop on the Norway trip was Bergen, the second largest city in Norway. Many of the fjords near Bergen are also very beautiful.

Bergen Fish Market, a double feast of sight and taste Whether during the Viking or Hanseatic League, Norwegian quality seafood is transported from Bergen to the rest of the world, not only for the locals Food is a link between fisheries in European countries. So come to Bergen, naturally go to see the fish market. It was on the other side of the Bryggen Wharf and walked into the gate as if it had entered another world - it was so lively. In the fish market, large pieces of salmon, arctic shrimp, lobster, king crab, squid and other seafood are not frozen, fresh and attractive! And all the products are presented in a row. When the whole big counter is filled with fresh seafood, it is really a great visual shock! Here, all the seafood can be cooked to order. Everyone is crammed into a small table and chairs, and it is very good for the stalls. The price will be more expensive than the supermarket, but it is still within the acceptable range. If you just want to feel the atmosphere of the fish market, it is also very good to try it.

Trip to Norway 🇳🇴

It was a vacation with family to Norway. Just to share some of the places and restaurants that I’ve visited and enjoyed the most. Norway was truly a beautiful country. We were in a group of 4 and we visited many places. One of our most favorite place to visit was Mount Floyen. We took the Fløibanen funicular up all the way to the top and walk to central Bergen. It is definitely worth to go up to the top as you can see very amazing view 💯 If you were given a chance, do remember to pick the front seat so that you can capture best pictures without having people blocking in the front 🤣 They opened from 8am to 11pm everyday. Instead of buying the ticket online, we bought the ticket on spot via the kiosk machine. One way journey took about 15 minutes and it was around 85Krone, return costs about 160Krone. It is definitely worth to visit 🥰 Mount Floyen 📍5014 Bergen, Norway Our second favorite spot to visit in Norway was Kode Museum. This museum really amazed us! It is one of the biggest museum in Nordic region. The museum was made up of 4 different buildings and there were a lot of things to see, from art and crafts to music etc. We spent half days walking around the museum and we have learned and understand many history behind all the objects and Norway. They opened on Tuesday to Sunday from 11am to 4pm. Our tickets were 480Krones (for 4pax). We really enjoy visiting Kode Museum 🥰 Kode Musuem 📍 Nordahl Bruns gate 9, 5014 Bergen, Norway Just to share my favorite restaurant in Norway before I wrap up this post. I really enjoyed eating the Norwegian local cuisine. my favorite shop in Bergen was Pingvinen. The restaurant itself is small and menu were very limited. But all the items that we tried were very delicious. P/s: the portion is very big as well. Every dish came with their unique sauce. We visited the restaurant two times in a row 🤣The price was considered affordable. We ordered all the seafood items available from the menu and all were delicious, especially their fish 💯Please check it out if you’re around Bergen area. (Their service was very good too 🥰) Pingvinen 📍 Vaskerelven 14, 5014 Bergen, Norway #Holiday #vacation #Relax

Scenic Fløibanen Tram

#2024wish It is always fun to take tram up to the top of the mountain as you get to enjoy the scenic view as you ascend to the top of the mountain. That's why I got to enjoy this year when I visited Bergen. I took the Floibanen to go up to the top of Mount Fløyen where I have a spectacular of the city below from up there. In 2024, I hope to have a chance again to take tram up to the top of a mountain but in winter. I love to see snow mountains.

Skomakerdiket At Floibanen

#2024wish I took the tram up to the top of Mount Floibanen when I was holidaying in Bergen Norway. It was a spectacular view looking down at the city and the nearby sea from up there. I took the chance to walk around at the top and found out there was lake called Skomakerdiket. It was a beautiful lake with the trees surrounding it. In 2024, I hope to have the chance to tour another city in Scandinavia with my wife.

Girls' weekend getaway

We had an amazing roadtrip last weekend this September 2022. First, was to see the beautiful town of Geiranger down to the city of Trondheim. It was really a great adventure because of the beautiful sceneries we have seen. Another thing was the road that was really a bit scary, looked like we were inside a chicken intestine.🤣lol.
