Food Scene

Our neighbourhood bar, cafe and restaurant, housed in a former public bathhouse. Great athmosphere and good, simple food based on local ingredients. The shrimp platter is especially recommended.

Tucked away in a narrow street lined by old wooden houses and right next to the Fløybanen funicular main station. Well worth the 10 minute walk!

Drinks & Nightlife

For those who really appreciate their cocktails mixed with loving care by experts in stylish and tasteful surroundings. Also a fine dining restaurant if you're up for a splurge.

One of the several nice bars in the Skostredet area, which has become a sort of mini-Latin Quarter of Bergen over the last decade. A great neighbourhood for bar-hopping!

Bergen's first and so far only gay bar, which has faithfully been serving the city's LGBT community for 22 years and counting. Cosy, open-minded and inclusive, and not least, smack in the middle of Nygårdsgaten which (along with Skostredet) is a great street for bar-hopping.

Parks & Nature

We live at the foot of Fløyfjellet (Mount Fløyen), which is the Westernmost edge of a mountain range that stretches almost to Oslo. A quick (5 minutes) or more laidback (10 minutes) uphill stroll and you're already in Fjellveien. From there, there are several good alternatives for continuing further up to the top.

What others call bragging, we Bergeners call honesty. So we'll be honest with you: if you know of a more beautiful and easily accessible walking route with a similar view over a city centre anywhere, please tell us about it!

Right next to Krohnengen skole is the idyllic and spacious park Fredens Bolig ("the Home of Calm") which is just as great as its smaller cousin Meyermarken nearby for picnicing in summer and tobogganning in winter (if snow is provided).

Ulriken is, like Mount Fløyen, among the seven mountains that surround Bergen town. A gondola lift (not for the vertiginous!) will take you from the foot of the mountain to the TV tower at its summit, offering magnificent views of the whole Bergen region as well as a fine cafe and restaurant. From there, you can also make it into an approx 3-4 hour walk across "Vidden" ("The Plateau") to Mount Fløyen along well-marked hiking trails.

Time-travel to the period of the medieval Hanseatic League, which established Bergen as a Hansa City and Germanized its name ("Bergen" means "mountains" in German). To this day, most of the town's venerable old families have German surnames (Rieber, Mohn, Mowinckel, Kroepelien to mention a few).

The medieval UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Bergen's definitive landmarks. Can be a bit tourist-heavy in the high season, but understandably so.

As a monument to the glory days when Bergen was both the cultural AND political capital of Norway stands the Bergenhus Fortress and the stately Håkonshallen (named after its first occupant King Håkon, son of Håkon). Also a nice area for strolling.

Getting Around

Bus no. 10 stops here, right across the street. Third stop from it is Fisketorget (The Fish Market), fourth is Olav Kyrres gate, both right in the middle of town. Basically all you need in terms of transport to and from downtown, if you don't feel like walking which is almost as quick.
