Højdepunkter

Discover the story of Bergen on this one-hour self-guided audio walking, at your own pace, tour through the city centre. Once Norway's medieval capital and Scandinavia's busiest trading port, Bergen tells its history through its statues, squares and old streets – bringing each one to life as you walk. Starting at the steel sculpture of King Olav Kyrre, the city's founder, you'll meet Bergen's heroes: composer Edvard Grieg, violinist Ole Bull, playwright Henrik Ibsen and statesman Christian Michelsen. Hear how Norway won its independence, how Bergen lived through Nazi occupation, and the lighter local tales in between. Walk at your own pace, pause for coffee and pick up where you left off – ideal for a cruise stop or your first hours in the city. Highlights: - Find the 17th-century cannonball still lodged in the wall of Bergen Cathedral. - Stand before the Sailor's Monument and hear how the sea shaped Bergen. - Hear daring wartime escape stories outside the Gestapo Museum.

About Bergen

Bergen is Norway's rainy fjord capital, a harbour city of colourful wooden wharf houses, mountain funiculars, a fish market and the gateway to the fjords.

Bergen sits between seven hills and the sea on Norway's west coast, with the wooden buildings of Bryggen, once the Hanseatic League's trading wharf and now a World Heritage site, lined along the harbour. The steep gabled houses stand in rows with narrow passages between them. Bergenhus Fortress, with the medieval Haakon's Hall, guards the harbour mouth, and Bergen was a capital of Norway in the 13th century.

Top-ranked sights in Bergen: Mt. Floyen (Floyfjellet), Hardangerfjord, Fantoft Stave Church.
