Barnstorming Bergen
The first rule of Bergen is… you do not talk about Bergen. Secret bars and clubs are what take this average Norwegian city and turn it into a traveller’s paradise. So befriend a local and get the lowdown on life in the city. ... Read more »
The underground music scene is bustling and visitors can hear the sounds spilling onto the streets. There are lots of sights to see by day as well, with a visit to the two University Museums,theBergen Cathedral and theWaterfront Fish Marketa definite must.
The dark sends band members and foodies into their hidey-holes, where they’ll wait until you delight in finding them. Get out of the main blocks of the city and you’ll find the best indie bands and local produce in Bergen, and feel very in the know that you did.
BERGEN’S TOP 10
10. Bergen Aquarium Seals and penguins chill out in the outdoor tank. Push in that annoying tourist in front of you who’s blocking your view! |
5. Railway Museum Take the steam train out to get the whole package! |
9. Rosenkrantz Tower Worth it for the great harbour views and sexy spiral staircases. |
4. Fantoft Stave Church Burned down by a Satanist in the ’90s, this landmark has now been beautifully reconstructed. |
8. Bryggens Museum With 800-year-old foundations, it’s best not to do too much jumping up and down. Consider skipping lunch before you test it out… |
3. Hanseatic Museum Explore the world of the Hanseatic traders. Take a peek into the summer bedroom (dirty burghers!). |
7. Håkonshallen During the summer, take the worthwhile guided tours. They run every hour. |
2. Siljustøl The old home of Norwegian composer famous for his protest songs against the Nazi occupation in WWII. |
6. Damsgård Manor Check out the Baroque garden, which includes sculptures, ponds and plants that were common 200 years ago. |
1. Lysøen Estate 20km outside of Bergen lies Lysøen Island. Take a ferry out and see what the fuss is about. |
