Once the capital city of Norway, Bergen was home to the Norwegian kings, and many historic events took place in this old port city. It owed its wealth and prominence to the fish export trade, which has been at the heart of the town since the Middle Ages. Hear fascinating stories from your guide about Bergen's colorful past as you travel by electric minibus to traverse both secret streets and prominent avenues.
Founded in AD 1070, Bergen features many historic sites, including the medieval King Haakon's Hall, the Rosenkrantz Tower, and the picturesque wooden buildings at Bryggen -- a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Nearby is the bustling fish market and the Nordnes Peninsula, with its 19th-century white-painted wooden houses. Take photos at Nordnes Park and admire the views over Bergen Harbor.
Driving through Nøstet offers a glimpse of one of Bergen's most popular and scenic residential areas. The student campus, with its botanic garden, is a visual treat. You will also catch stunning views of the city from Skansen (a retired fire station) on Mt Fløien.
Note:
Tour sequence may vary. Some seats on the minibus face backward.
