Fjord Cruises from Bergen

See all the ways you can experience the Norwegian fjords from the charming city of Bergen, from two hours to full days. Explore the fjords in a number of ways, from traditional sailboats to hyper-modern zero-emission vessels. There are many reasons why Bergen is one of Norway’s most popular tourist destinations, the main ones being the historic UNESCO-listed town center with its stunning architecture, and the city’s role as a «gateway to the fjords».

With no shortage of water around, from the Norwegian Sea to the famous fjords of the Vestlandet region; the mighty Sognefjorden, the UNESCO listed Nærøyfjorden, and the attractive Hardangerfjord you can find your fjord adventure around Bergen here!

Fjord Tours offers the «world’s most popular Norway tour», the Norway in a nutshell® tour that brings you from Bergen by train to Myrdal where you board one of the most scenic railways, the Flåm Railway. From the town of Flåm you enjoy a cruise on a silent, low-emission catamaran on the Aurlandsfjord and the unique Nærøyfjord.

The Sognefjord in a nutshell and the Hardangerfjord in a nutshell (without the Flåm Railway) are other variations that offer each its own way to cruise the fjords. If a day trip is not on your schedule, shorter cruises like a 2h sailboat cruise or the popular 3h cruise to Mostraumen from the port of Bergen are great alternatives.

NORWAY IN A NUTSHELL®

Flåm railway (flåmsbana), fjords in norway, aurlandsfjord.

A day-by-day plan to guide your journey.

Day 1: WELCOME TO OSLO

When you arrive at Oslo ‘s Gardermoen Airport, make your way into Oslo‘s city centre. Many travellers opt to take the express train to Oslo Central Station, but we can arrange a private transfer for you (at additional cost). For those arriving early, we recommend exploring Oslo by foot, spending the afternoon at sights including the  Royal Palace , Akershus fortress, Oslo City Hall , Oslo Opera House, and the  Aker Brygge  area. Other notable attractions include the beautiful Vigeland Sculpture Park and Karl Johans street.

Spend the night in Oslo.

Day 2: NORWAY IN A NUTSHELL – THE FLÅM RAILWAY

Get an early start and head to Oslo Central Station, where you’ll begin the Norway in a Nutshell® railway journey towards Bergen, with an overnight stop in Flåm . This train ride takes you over Norway’s “mountainous rooftops”, through charming villages like Gol and  Geilo .

In Myrdal, you’ll switch trains to the famous Flåm Railway (Flåmsbana) for an incredible ride to the beautiful village of Flåm. Enjoy a relaxing day in Flåm, where you can follow one of the many hiking trails in the mountains around the village, or participate in an optional activity, such as kayaking, fjord sightseeing or visiting the Stegastein platform.

Spend the night in Flåm.

We recommend booking our luggage transfer for the travel between Oslo and Bergen.

Day 3: NORWAY IN A NUTSHELL TO BERGEN

This morning, you’ll board a boat to sail through Aurlandsfjord into the World Heritage-listed Nærøyfjord, the narrowest fjord in all of Europe. This is perhaps the most beautiful arm of Sognefjord , with its mighty waterfalls and small farms clinging to the steep mountainsides. The boat docks in Gudvangen, from where you’ll be transported by bus to Voss to board the train for the last stretch of the journey to Bergen .

Spend the night in Bergen.

Day 4: THE CAPITAL OF THE FJORDS

Despite being an international city, Bergen, “The Capital of the Fjords”, has all the charms of a small town. Here you’ll find  Bryggen , a UNESCO World Heritage site, along with remarkably preserved old houses, a lively fish and flower market, cable cars offering stunning views, great museums and more.  We recommend riding the Fløibanen Funicular to Mount Fløyen to enjoy the panoramic view of the city or a cable car up Mt. Ulriken. Bergen is also known for its museums dedicated to history within trade and fisheries, architecture, musical art and contemporary art. 

Spend another night in Bergen.

The first leg of the journey is from Oslo to Flåm. Then you'll be travelling from Flåm to Bergen. The duration of both days will be around 7 hours. 

The connections will be announced and clearly explained in your travel documents. You will receive a ticket with all the information about transfer points and timings with your final travel documents.

You can book an optional luggage transfer for the journey. If you do this, you’ll want a backpack for your daily essentials and one-night stay. Your luggage will be waiting for you at your destination.

If you do not book a luggage transfer, you will have to carry your bags between the train, boat and bus. All connections will be within easy reach and there will be storage available for your luggage during each leg of the journey.

On your Norway tour, you’ll stay in accommodation that’s been hand-picked by our travel experts. We’ve partnered with local businesses and selected hotels and guesthouses based on excellent ratings, comfort and our personal experience. 

During the booking process, you can select whether you want Comfort Plus or Superior accommodation. Comfort Plus usually consists of standard rooms in good quality and comfortable 3-star hotels. Superior is standard rooms in 4-star hotels combined with Superior rooms in premium 3-star hotels.

You will also be able to choose between single, double or triple rooms. Please note that in Norway room types are based on European standard sizes, which means they are smaller than in North America. 

For example, a double bed often consists of 2 single beds pushed together. Twin rooms are 2 separate single beds. Triple rooms include a double bed along with an extra single bed, rollaway or sofa bed. And single rooms are often smaller than the standard double.

If you have a passport from Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia or New Zealand, you won’t need a visa to visit Norway. This visa-free entry is valid for up to 90 days.

Visiting from another country? You can find out whether you require a visa to enter Norway on the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs website. Select your home country to view details. If you do require a visa, you will be directed to your local embassy website to learn about the visa requirements.

Your passport must also be valid for at least 3 months from your departure from Norway. It’s good to check your passport expiry date early in case you need to renew it.

Travelling with your kids? No problem! You'll be able to enter your children’s ages during the booking process.

For infants (0 to 2 years old), please let us know in the details if you’d like a baby cot.

For kids 3-11 years old, we’ll automatically book an extra bed for your trip.

Only you can pick the best time to visit Norway for your trip. It’ll depend on how much time you have to explore and what you want to see and do in Norway.

During the summer months, June , July and August , you’ll have the warmest temperatures and longest daylight hours of the year. This is ideal for outdoor excursions and taking full advantage of your days for sightseeing.

If you’d like to experience the top attractions with fewer visitors around then you could book a summer itinerary in May or September . These shoulder season months generally have more tour and attraction availability.

Please note that if you travel in spring, end of March through April , you’ll find that many attractions and museums are operating on reduced winter hours. 

The winter months are also popular, but generally quieter. Travel to Norway at this time of year to see snowy mountains, cruise along frosty fjords and chase the magnificent northern lights. 

If you head north in December and January , you could experience the polar night. At this time of year, the conditions are also ideal for winter activities such as dog sledding, snowmobiling and more.

Read more about the best time to visit Norway on our blog.

From Oslo in the south, Norway stretches hundreds of kilometres into the Arctic Circle. The country is so long that it spans the latitudes of 58°N to 81°N. For that reason, daylight hours vary greatly depending on where you’ll be visiting. That said, summer in Norway brings long days with plenty of daylight. 

In the south, around Oslo, Bergen and Stavanger, you’ll experience 15–20 hours of daylight. If you visit the north, including locations such as Tromsø and Kirkenes, you can expect 20–24 hours of daylight. 

In fact, within the Arctic Circle, from mid-May to late July, you’ll experience the midnight sun. This is when the sun never fully sets. 

Norway’s long summer days give you plenty of time to explore. That said, you may want to pack a sleeping mask if you are a light sleeper or tend to wake up at dawn. 

Find out what the daylight hours will be during the month of your visit in this guide to time and daylight in Norway .

During the summer months, you can expect fairly stable weather in Norway. That said, because the country spans such a large distance from north to south, temperatures are likely to vary depending on your location.

For example, the west coast is usually warmer thanks to the Gulf Stream, while the far north is usually cooler.

The months of June, July and August boast the warmest weather of the year. In Oslo, you can expect average temperatures around 16°C (61°F), with potential highs of 20–25°C (68–77°F). In Bergen, it is closer to 13°C (55°F) and in the north, around Tromsø, you can expect temperatures around 10°C (41-50°F) 

It’s also good to know that weather conditions are often changeable in Northern Europe, so you should come ready for sun, rain and wind. For more information on the local climate, read the page Norway weather conditions . 

Please note that sightseeing is dependent on weather and road conditions. This means that your itinerary might need to be altered if these conditions are not favourable during your visit. 

Summertime is the most stable time of year in Norway. That said, you should still be ready to experience all seasons in one day. Especially if you will be spending a lot of time outdoors, you’ll want to pack for a combination of weather conditions.

Bring lighter clothes for the warmer, sunny days, and extra layers for chilly nights in the mountains or for taking in the view from cruise ship decks.

Here is an essential summer packing list for your trip to Norway:

  • Shorts and trousers
  • Short and long sleeve tops
  • At least one warm jumper or fleece
  • Waterproof jacket and trousers
  • Light gloves, hat and scarf
  • Comfortable walking or hiking shoes
  • Sunglasses, sun hat and sunscreen
  • Eye mask to sleep despite the long daylight hours
  • Electronic gear such as smartphone, external powerpack, and travel adapters
  • A backpack for easy access to daily essentials
  • and don’t forget your camera!

An umbrella can also come in handy. If you are a wildlife watcher, you may wish to bring binoculars. 

For more information, check out this Norway packing list .

When you travel with Nordic Visitor, breakfast at your Norway accommodation is always included.  For the rest of your meals, the amount of spending money you need will depend on the standard of restaurants you decide to go to. 

That said, we recommend budgeting between 100–400 NOK for lunch per person, each day. Dinners at casual restaurants might cost between 500–1,000 NOK. Meanwhile, at upscale restaurants, you can expect to pay 1,500 NOK or more. This does not include the cost of alcoholic beverages. 

It’s best to book as soon as you can to secure your preferred travel dates. Once you have picked your tour, check the availability calendar to see which months are open for booking. Then, select the date you want and complete your booking. 

We recommend waiting for a confirmation from your travel consultant to ensure your travel dates are available. You’ll then be able to purchase your flights with confidence.

If you like to plan well ahead, you’ll find that it’s possible to book many tours for the following year. And if you have any questions or need advice, you can always contact us . 

After booking your tour package online, you will be contacted within 2 business days by your own dedicated travel consultant. They will be your point of contact for all your travel needs before, during and even after your trip. 

We aim to complete bookings within a few weeks. During this time we take care of booking your accommodation, activities, and transport, confirming all parts of your journey. Once this is done, your travel consultant will provide you with all the details of your trip. 

When we get back to you might depend slightly on how far ahead you’ve booked your travels and other tours running at the time. 

No need! Nordic Visitor is already working on offsetting the estimated carbon footprint of your package. We’ve partnered with an environmental fund in Iceland to carbon offset all our tours.

Carbon offsetting your international flights is not included, but we highly recommend you look into possibilities with your airline or directly through a local environment fund. 

If you have any questions before your trip, you can get in touch with our Norway travel experts. The live chat option is useful for getting a quick reply as someone answers live every day during office opening hours.

Once you’ve booked, we’ll provide you with a travel guide packed full of local tips and top attractions for your visit. You can also check out our online Norway Travel Guide where we’ve compiled useful information about topics, including:

  • Which currency is used in Norway and which credit cards are widely accepted
  • What kind of electric adapters or converters you’ll need
  • Which languages do Norwegian speak (yes, English is one of them!)
  • How to get a refund on tax-free shopping
  • As well as tipping, buying snacks, and other useful information

After you have booked your tour, it will only take a few days to confirm its availability. But it may take a few weeks to create your itinerary and book everything. 

Once your trip details are finalised, we’ll send you e-copies of your travel documents. This will include your personalised itinerary, our Norway Travel Guide and your service vouchers. We recommend printing your tickets and vouchers to bring with you to Norway.

When you depart may depend on the time of your return flight. Check out early if you’re heading to the airport for a morning flight. On the other hand, if you’re flying home later in the day, you might like to enjoy a leisurely day or visit one more attraction.

You will usually need to check out from your room around 10–11 AM. If you’re staying in town longer, you will be able to store your luggage at the hotel reception. Simply return later to collect your bags before making your way to the airport.

All bookings are billed in Euro (EUR). Prices displayed in other currencies are indicative only and based on the daily exchange rate. This means conversions from EUR to other currencies will fluctuate from day to day.

These pictures may be small, but Norway’s mountains & fjords are massive.

3 Days in Bergen Itinerary: Best Things to Do & See in Bergen

If you’re planning to spend 3 days in Bergen, Norway, then you’re in for a treat! (And you’re in the right place too, as you’ve just stumbled upon the ultimate 3-Day Bergen itinerary and guide!)

Situated in Western Norway, between seven mountains and two of Norway’s most stunning fjords, Bergen is one of the most breathtaking cities, in one of the most beautiful countries on the planet.

More than just a pretty setting though, Bergen is packed with things to do. From insanely beautiful hikes, fascinating museums, and the old Hanseatic wharf, to fjord cruises, waterfront wine-sipping, kayaking, fishing, and simply lapping up the views, your 3 days in Bergen will be well spent!

Despite being the second-largest city in Norway (with a population of almost 300,000), Bergen exudes endless small-town charm and character. For nature lovers and history buffs alike, Bergen is the ultimate Scandinavian destination. Armed with the best Bergen itinerary, I know you’ll fall in love with Bergen, just like l did.

Here’s the ultimate guide and itinerary for 3 days in Bergen, including where to stay, the best things to do, where to eat and drink, and how to stay on budget (because Norway ain’t cheap, my friends).

Before we get into all the best things to do in Bergen, let’s talk logistics. What’s the best way to get to Bergen, you ask?

View of the fjords in the Sognefjord dotted with red and white houses and covered in clouds

After spending 2 days in Oslo , I opted to travel to Bergen via the Norway in a Nutshell Tour , and let me tell you, it was the most amazing journey!

Highlights of the trip include riding the historic Flåm Railway (one of the world’s most beautiful train journeys), the stunning Bergen Railway route, and cruising through the dramatic Nærøyfjorden and Aurlandsfjorden by boat.

Traveling on the Flam Railway through dramatic mountain scenes in Norway

Yes, the Norway in a Nutshell Tour is pricey . (Ha, what isn’t in Norway?) But where else will you see such incredible views?

Truth be told, you can book all of the different legs of the journey yourself and save a bit of cash. But it is a lot easier to just book your Norway in a Nutshell Tour from Oslo to Bergen here .

I can’t recommend booking the Norway in a Nutshell trip enough. It was one of the best things I did on my entire Scandinavia trip!

If you want a no-fuss, 6.5-hour train journey from Oslo to Bergen, then simply take the Bergen Line (Bergensbanen).

The train journey is still incredibly scenic and claims the title of Northern Europe’s highest railway line – climbing to 1,222 meters above sea level at the Finse train station. You will arrive at the train station in Bergen Sentrum. From there, you’ll have a quick walk to your hotel (it’s 13 mins to Clarion Hotel Admiral ) or you can take a taxi.

Flying to Bergen? Once you arrive at the Bergen airport, getting to the city center is quick and easy. You have two great transport options to choose from:

  • The Light Rail train, which takes 45 minutes and will drop you off at the Bergen city center station. If you buy the Bergen Card, the Light Rail is free.
  • The Flybussen bus, which takes 30 minutes to reach the center and has many convenient and central stops, including Bryggen. Overall, the Flybussen is more expensive and you only receive 20% off with the Bergen Card.

Where to Stay in Bergen, Norway

To make the most of your limited time in Bergen, make sure to book a hotel with a central location , close to the city center, waterfront, and Bryggen wharf. My top picks for accommodation are below, and they all offer amazing locations!

My favorite place to stay in Bergen is right on the Vågen Harbor, at the Clarion Hotel Admiral – and honestly, I can’t recommend it enough. The hotel itself is modern, clean, and very comfortable, and the staff members are so kind!

But perhaps the best part of staying at the Clarion Hotel Admiral was waking up to stunning views of the old, colorful Bryggen houses, gleaming seawater, and the surrounding mountains! It’s located right where the action is, in Bergen city center – exactly where you want to be.

  • Opus 16 : A beautiful, luxurious hotel perfectly situated in central Bergen, Opus 16 is housed in a historic building from 1876. Offers an amazing breakfast spread and an exhibition of local artists’ work.
  • Bergen Børs Hotel : One of the most luxurious hotels in Bergen in a historic stock exchange building from 1862. Choose Bergen Børs Hotel when only the best will do.
  • Thon Hotel Orion : If you love a colorful design hotel with epic views, choose the Thon Hotel Orion . It’s situated close to Bryggen Wharf District.
  • Clarion Hotel Admiral : As I mentioned above, I love everything about Clarion Hotel Admiral … Especially the views! Also, the breakfast spread is pretty amazing.
  • City Hostel Bergen : An impressive location for a hostel, this accommodation is only a few minutes’ walk away from the center.

From hotels and B&Bs to hostels and apartments, Booking.com always has the best deals on accommodation. You can find other great deals on Bergen accommodation here .

To make the most of 3 days in Bergen, Norway for less, consider purchasing the Visit Bergen tourism office’s Bergen Card.

With the Bergen Card , you will receive free or discounted admission to Bergen attractions, museums, events, and sightseeing tours. Regional bus travel and transportation on the Light Rail to/from the airport (a 45-minute journey) are also included for free.

Spending only a fraction of the price I would’ve paid for all the activities I packed into my 3 days in Bergen, the card turned out to be a wise and worthy investment.

You can purchase your card online or once you arrive.

Things to Do in Bergen in 3 Days: The Perfect Itinerary

On your first day in Bergen, I recommend exploring the city itself.

Check out the scenery, museums, historic sights (like the fish market and Bryggen wharf), restaurants, cafés, and shops. Just roam around, see what you find, and get a vibe for Bergen.

If you’re up for it, squeeze in some kayaking too.

#1 Coffee & Brunch

Norway’s cities take coffee culture pretty seriously, and Bergen is no different. I don’t know about you, but for me, the best trips start with an excellent coffee! So kick off Day 1 at one of Bergen’s best spots for a cuppa and a pastry.

My top three picks for Bergen cafés are Blom , Det Lille Kaffe Kompaniet , and Kaffemisjonen .

Toward the bottom of this article, you’ll find all of my top picks for cafés, restaurants, and bars to try during 3 days in Bergen!

#2 Kayak Around Bergen’s Magnificent Coastline & Islands

If it’s summertime (when the days are long!), you may want to get out into nature straight away, before exploring Bergen. If that’s the case, then this guided kayaking tour is the perfect place to start.

On this kayaking excursion around Øygarden, you’ll explore the magnificent seas and island chains in the region. As you kayak between islands and reefs, you’ll see some breathtaking scenery and sea life, and your guide will share Bergen’s interesting history.

The tour leaves every day at 9:30 AM. It’s 5 hours long, so you’ll have plenty more time to enjoy the day on land! Make sure to book in advance! Click here to book it now.

#3 Roam around Bergen City Center

After breakfast, start to get to know Bergen by exploring the modern city center and the Vågen Harbor on foot. Roam the streets, see the parks, mosey in and out of shops, people watch, and enjoy the fresh air.

When the weather’s good, there is nothing better than an early morning stroll through Bergen’s charming streets, surrounded by so much natural beauty – tall trees, soaring mountains, and endless ocean.

the famous and iconic fish market in bergen, norway - a must-see during your 72 hours in bergen

#4 Savor Seafood at the Bergen Fish Market (Fisketorget)

Just underneath the Visit Bergen tourism office (where you can pick up your Bergen Card), you’ll find the Fisketorget – or Bergen’s fish market – in all its glory.

Providing the people of Bergen with freshly caught seafood since 1276, this historically important and iconic market is definitely worth a visit.

(And no, I did not mistype: 1276! Can you believe that?)

the outdoor fish market in bergen, open during the summer - it's always busy and the food is delicious

In the summer, the market sprawls outdoors with fresh fish and seafood, fruit, and vegetable stands, as well as restaurants serving up the freshest regional delicacies. Meanwhile, there’s an indoor portion that’s open year-round.

If you’re a seafood fan, the fish market is sure to send your taste buds into a frenzy! You’ll never see such a wide range of options. It’s literal seafood heaven.

Colorful wooden buildings of Bryggen

#5 Explore Bryggen: The Historic Hanseatic Wharf

Just a few steps from Fisketorget lies Bergen’s most famous and historic site, Bryggen , which also happens to be a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

From a sheer visual standpoint, Bryggen is stunning. Along the wharf, old, wooden colorful buildings stand tall in varied shades of yellow, orange, and red, reminiscent of times when German merchants dominated the area with trade .

Historic fact: As old as the Hansa buildings of Bryggen may look, they were actually rebuilt after 1702, when the Great Fire devastated the entire city, reducing it to nothing but ash. Flames have ravaged through Bryggen time and again, yet its foundation and history date back all the way to the 11th century.

Mossy roof tiles of Bryggen buildings

Bryggen, the gem of Bergen, deserves a leisurely stroll or two… As you meander through the narrow alleyways, in and out of little shops and historic buildings, and underneath the charming old wooden overhangs, you’ll transport yourself back in time several hundred years.

With so much beauty to take in, so many lovely locals to talk to, and some great museums to peruse, Bryggen won’t disappoint.

The Hanseatic Museum in Bergen

#6 The Hanseatic Museum

At The Hanseatic Museum, you’ll glimpse into the lives of Germanic traders and merchants of the Hanseatic League, who lived and worked in Bergen for hundreds of years and put Bergen on the map.

At the museum, you’ll understand the impact they had, see how they worked and lived (in their actual living quarters!), and witness many of their personal artifacts.

If you are to visit just one Bergen museum, let this be it, so you can learn about Bergen’s cultural roots and discover how the city evolved into what it is today.

HOT TIP: Want a printable copy of this Bergen itinerary? Grab yours here!

Cobblestone walkway of the Bergenhus Fortress

#7 Visit the Bergenhus Fortress

As you explore the harbor, you will stumble upon the imposing Bergenhus Fortress, which is one of Norway’s oldest and best-preserved fortresses .

The only time the fortress actually came in handy in battle was in 1665, when a large Dutch fleet took refuge in Bergen as they were pursued by English warships. The fortress strongly opposed the British attacks in what is now known as The Battle of Vågen. During World War II, the German occupying forces also used the fortress as their western headquarters.

There’s a free museum on-site too, whose exhibitions include women’s roles in Norway’s defense, Bergen’s resistance during World War II, the illegal press from 1940-45, and the Bergen media in times of crisis.

No doubt, the fortress and museum are worth a quick visit during your three days in Bergen.

Bergen view at night from the top of Mt. Floyen

#8 Fløibanen Funicular for Sunset

After an amazing first day of kayaking, exploring the city center, eating delicious food, and perusing museums, why not finish it off with an amazing view?

Right before night falls, ascend up, up, up to the top of Mount Fløyen on the Fløibanen Funicular cable car!

Just as the sun kisses the horizon, you’ll be rewarded with the most spectacular view of city lights, ocean blues, mountain peaks, and dimming skies with hues of orange, pink, and lavender.

In that moment, you’ll feel completely content. (Or maybe you’ll feel that the moment would be even better if you had brought a sneaky bottle of wine – and perhaps some other snacky, picnicky bits. Just helping you think ahead, friend!)

The Fløibanen Funicular cable car operates until 23:00 every day, so you’ll have no excuse not to experience the views of Bergen from Mount Fløyen at night.

Known as the “Gateway to the Fjords,” Bergen is situated between the Sognefjord – the deepest and longest fjord in Norway – and the jaw-droppingly beautiful Hardangerfjord. So it’s only natural that you should pack in plenty of outdoor activities during your stay.

That’s what Day 2 of your 3 days in Bergen is all about.

#9 Vidden Hike from Ulriken to Fløyen

I kicked off my second day in Bergen with a scrumptious breakfast at the Clarion Hotel Admiral (where I also pilfered bread, charcuterie, cheese, and fruit for my lunch picnic) – ready for an unforgettable hike from Mount Ulriken, all the way to Mount Fløyen.

Stretching 11 miles (or about 18 kilometers), this hike is one of the most amazing hikes I have ever done in my life… And from New Zealand to Peru to Belize , I have hiked a lot, so that’s saying something!

I promise, hiking in Bergen, No r way will be an unforgettable adventure and the absolute highlight of your 3 days in Bergen. With constantly changing, stunning landscapes, the beautiful cities below, ocean blues stretching as far as the eye can see, deepest fjord trenches, gleaming lakes, countless mountain peaks, and even views of the Folgefonna Glacier if you’re lucky, these are some of the most spectacular views ever.

Vidden Hike Details

I did this hike in April and there was still quite a lot of snow on the ground! (Late May through early October is ideal for hiking in Bergen. April is okay. Throughout the winter months, hiking isn’t possible; cross-country skiing or snow-shoeing is the way to go.)

Through the snow and sludge in April, the hike took about 5.5 hours.

To begin the hike, I rode the Ulriken643 cable car up to the top of Mount Ulriken, and then took the Fløibanen Funicular back down Mount Fløyen after. I recommend you do the same!

And as with any mountain hiking, check the conditions before you go and be prepared for anything .

Read my post about Hiking in Bergen, Norway for more information about this hike!

And if you’re visiting in the winter, consider booking this Snowshoe Hiking Tour !

#10 Try Traditional Norwegian Food

After your big hike, you’ll surely have worked up an appetite! So tonight, why not treat yourself to traditional Norwegian cuisine – perhaps at Norway’s best fjord-to-table seafood restaurant?

Toward the bottom of this article, you’ll find all of my top picks for cafés, restaurants, and bars to try during 72 hours in Bergen!

A funicular by a mountainside in Bergen

Hopefully, you’re well-rested after your massive hike… and ready for another day exploring Bergen’s great outdoors on Day 3!

#11 Nature Walk to Revurtjern Lake

I couldn’t get enough of Bergen’s fresh mountain air, unbelievable views, and fun hiking trails, so on Day 3, I decided to ascend Floyen again (via the funicular) for a super easy walk to Revurtjern Lake .

There are also plenty of other easy trails to explore – many complete with trolls staring down you from the trees and signs stating that “witches are forbidden.” And that’s just Norwegian culture for you!

Hiking up at Mount Floyen is as much of a cultural experience as it is a fun outdoor activity! Mostly, you’ll find locals out hiking and enjoying the sunshine, because as a whole, Norwegians are extremely active, nature-loving people.

Motorized boat cruising on a fjord

#12 Fjord Cruise to Mostraumen

They don’t call Bergen the “Gateway to the Norwegian Fjords” for nothing, do they?

Even after the Nutshell Tour, I had NOT had enough of Norway’s fjords. And my hunch is, you’ll feel the same. So what’s the obvious thing to do? Another fjord tour! IMO, your trip to Bergen wouldn’t be complete without one.

So on Day 3, book yourself in for this Mostraumen Fjord Cruise .

This fjord cruise through the narrow Mostraumen straits and the dramatic Osterfjord to a beautiful waterfall is absolutely stunning! It’s also only 3.5 hours long, so you can easily fit some other Bergen experiences into your day.

The cruise operates year-round and leaves Bergen every day at 2 PM from the harbor in Bergen. It will sell out, so book in advance! Click here to book your cruise now.

And by the way, I haven’t done this personally, but I imagine that this private yacht cruise of the fjords would be amazing if you have a decent-sized group of friends or family to split it with! Another quirky choice, a little more budget-friendly friendly than a private yacht is this Viking ship experience , there are very few of these still in use so this is a great nod to Norway’s Viking heritage.

#13 Shopping in Bergen, Norway

As an American, I feel like there’s nothing quite as cool as Scandinavian design. Do you agree?

During the weekend, shopping in the “new city” area of Bergen seems like the thing to do among locals. The streets in Bergen’s main shopping area are flooded with people streaming in and out of shops, chatting in the streets, listening to live music, having a grand ol’ time.

You will discover many Scandinavian stores that you’ve never heard of – and a lot of really beautiful clothes and homewares. (Wallet, beware!)

A random fact, but maybe useful, nonetheless: My favorite shop, by far, was Illums Bolighus , a Danish store selling some of the chicest clothing I’ve seen, as well as beautiful décor items and furniture.

Where to Eat & Drink in Bergen, Norway

Though it may not seem likely to you, Bergen is an international port city. And you know what that means! Bergen is filled with all kinds of tantalizing cuisines for you, my foodie friends.

A great way to experience the amazing food in Bergen is on a food tour, which is always one of my favorite ways to experience local cuisine! This tour takes you through some of Bergen’s best culinary specialties, including spots within the fish market and Bryggen Hanseatic Wharf.

Here are my top picks for places to eat and drink during your three days in Bergen!

  • Blom : A must for amazing coffee while visiting Bergen! Super cute, cozy, great pastries, and obvious care for crafting a fabulous cuppa.
  • Kaffemisjonen : Known as the best café in Bergen, and for good reason! The coffee and food are top-notch.
  • Det Lille Kaffe Kompaniet : Really good coffee, amazing cakes, and situated next to the funicular entrance. (Perfect right before a morning nature walk!)
  • BOD 24 SANDVIKEN : A hidden gem outside of the typical tourist zones. You can’t beat the ocean views!
  • Daily Pot : Soup is my favorite thing ever. If you’re with me, go to Daily Pot. There, you’ll find delicious soups (perfect for a rainy day lunch!), hearty salad bowls, and sandwiches!
  • Marg & Bein : This restaurant is all about sustainability and showcasing local Norwegian ingredients – from the fjords and farms, to the table. Book in for dinner and you won’t be disappointed!
  • Amici Mei : A cozy, warm atmosphere, great for wine and some pasta. Possibly some of the most authentic Italian food you’ll find in Norway. A gem.
  • MOON : MOON is the dream restaurant of two French brothers who fell in love with Norway and Norwegian ingredients. Beautiful, imaginative, yummy food.
  • Savanna Restaurant : Like eating with your hands? After something a bit different? Why not try out traditional Ethiopian & Eritrean food in a colorful setting?
  • Cornelius Seafood Restaurant : Regarded as one of Norway’s best (and most idyllic) fjord-to-table seafood restaurants, Cornelius Sjømatrestaurant is a must during your 3 days in Bergen! To get to the restaurant, you’ll take a scenic 25-minute boat ride to a nearby island, and then relax into amazing views of the fjords, wine, and seafood for the rest of the evening!

From cocktail bars to craft beer taprooms, these are the best places to drink in Bergen. Why not hop from one to the next? Especially if it’s raining!

  • LAST monkey
  • Lampemannen Bar

We absolutely loved our time in Bergen, and we know that you will, too. This guide includes the best things to do in and around Bergen, from hiking to fjord cruising. Enjoy!

  • Wool coat: During the colder months a beautiful wool coat is essential for style and practicality. You will fit in with the locals with this one . For your time in the mountains, a more practical hiking jacket will be better.
  • Comfortable boots: As expected, you’ll walk a lot in Bergen, so opt for a comfortable but stylish boot that you’ve worn in. You can’t go wrong with a smart Chelsea boot, like these . For hiking in the mountains bring a good pair of hiking boots .
  • Daypack: Make sure you are prepared with essentials when snowshoeing and hiking, a decent backpack will be needed for your water bottle, snacks, and extra layers. This one is great and the perfect size for a day hike.
  • Hat and gloves: When you go into the mountains it will be much colder so prepare with a good warm hat and gloves to take that chill away.
  • Sunscreen: Nothing spoils your trip (and your photos!) more than sunburn, and snow glare is no joke. Remember to prepare with a good, natural sunscreen and stay protected.
  • Reusable water bottle: Remember to keep hydrated during your adventures; it can’t all be wine and coffee all the time! Bring a reusable water bottle so you can keep topped up, you will especially need this when hiking and snowshoeing.
  • Travel insurance : As with any trip, you should ALWAYS purchase travel insurance in case anything goes wrong. I’ve had my fair share of travel mishaps!

  • VACATION RENTAL : I use this site to find the perfect vacation rental for an unforgettable getaway.

Looking for some Norway travel tips? Spending 3 days in Bergen, Norway soon? With some of the friendliest locals on the planet, amazing architecture to marvel at, outdoor activities galore, and cultural festivals throughout the year, Bergen, Norway has something exciting to offer everyone. We absolutely loved our time in Bergen, and we know that you will, too. This guide includes the best things to do in and around Bergen, from hiking to fjord cruising. Enjoy!

You need 3 days to explore the best that Bergen, Norway has to offer! In three days, you’ll have enough time for hiking, exploring the fjords, seeing the historic sites (like the fish market, wharf, and fortress), checking out some of the best museums, and enjoying the delicious restaurants – all without feeling rushed. Of course, if you have more time, you can always add on additional activities and take some day trips to more of the surrounding areas!

The best time of year to visit Bergen depends on what you want to do while you’re in the city. If you’re looking to take part in outdoor activities like hiking and kayaking, the best time to spend three days in Bergen is between May through September. June through August offer the best weather, but this time is also the busiest and most expensive. I visited in late April and it was a little chilly and there was still a bit of snow in the mountains – but not enough to deter me from plenty of hiking. If you’re interested in snow sports, like ski touring, then, of course, visit during the winter months! Otherwise, I’d avoid it – as the days are short and dark, and the weather is not the best!

Of course, Bergen is worth visiting. A trip to Norway would not be complete without spending 3 days in Bergen. Bergen is an incredibly charming and picturesque city with so much to offer! From its stunning natural scenery, amazing hiking, and easy access to the fjords, to its delicious restaurants, vibrant nightlife, rich culture, and fascinating historical sites, there’s something for everyone in Bergen. Highlights include cruising the fjords, hiking through the steep mountains, exploring Bryggen on foot, eating fresh seafood, and kayaking around nearby islands!

3 days is the perfect amount of time to spend in Bergen. 3 days gives you enough time to get a taste of everything this beautiful city has to offer! If you’re not into outdoor activities, like hiking or kayaking, I think 2 days would be sufficient. On the other side of the spectrum, if you can’t wait to get out into Bergen’s surrounding fjords and mountains, you might like to stay longer than 3 days. Generally speaking, though, three days is the perfect amount of time to spend in Bergen.

Yes, Bergen is very walkable! While it’s surrounded by mountains, Bergen downtown is flat. I enjoyed walking around the center and exploring all of the different neighborhoods. If you book a hotel in the Sentrum, Bergenhus, or Bryggen areas, all of the main points of interest will be within short walking distance.

No, you do not need a car in Bergen. The public transportation system is excellent and getting around by bus, taxi, or on foot is very easy. Traveling from the airport, train station, and bus station is also easy; I’ve detailed the best transportation options to the city center above. Plus, if you book a central hotel near downtown and Bryggen, most everything will be within a 15-minute walk

When you visit Norway, you’ll find that it’s generally more expensive than most other countries! And Bergen is no exception. While Bergen is expensive, there are ways that you can cut down costs. Between the city tourism board’s discount card, booking mid-range accommodation , and enjoying free activities (like hiking and other outdoor activities), you can easily visit Bergen without blowing your budget! Read this guide for everything you need to know!

I found Bergen to be cheaper than Oslo, but not by a lot. Generally speaking, both cities are expensive – but no doubt, both cities are 100% worth visiting, and there are ways to make your trip affordable! My guide for 2 Days in Oslo details the best (and free) things to do in Oslo, while my 3-Day Bergen Itinerary above offers activities for every budget!

Hi, with the Bergen card, will the fjord cruise to monstraumem be free? The original price stated on FjordTours is 550 NOK per adult. Thank you!

July 11, 2017 at 7:02 am

Bad info in this post for 2017. Funicular to Floyen is NOT free. It is half price. And all buses in Bergen are free anyway! The Bergen card is good for free entry to most museums but not all and many activities that they say are discounted are but they are way over-priced to. Shin with. Well ed Bergen but get your wallet out!!5:

July 11, 2017 at 10:27 am

Thanks for letting us know that the funicular is now 50% off with the Bergen Card. We’ve updated our post to reflect that. We’ve also added in a list ( https://en.visitbergen.com/dbimgs/Bergenkortet_folder_2017_web.pdf ) of all of the Bergen Card’s benefits for 2017. However, the buses in Bergen are not free — perhaps you got lucky and no bus employees inspected if you had purchased a ticket or not. If they had, and you didn’t have a ticket, you would have had to pay a fine. (Here is Bergen’s bus website if you’re interested in finding out more information on that matter: https://www.skyss.no/en/ ) However, bus tickets are free with the Bergen Card. Also, yes, Bergen is an expensive place — but we believe it’s worth it (and the Bergen Card definitely helps). Again, thank you for letting us know to update our article. :)

Hi there, love this article.

Could you please advise on whether late September would be a bad time to go to Bergen? We want to do your hikes and the other outdoorsy activities mentioned. Thanks, Sam

May 7, 2022 at 7:52 pm

Hi Sam, this reply is obviously too late for you (sorry!). But for others reading, generally speaking, late Sept. should be fine for hiking! It will be getting colder. Whether the weather will be optimal is purely circumstancial. With a bit of luck, you’ll have an amazing time in Sept hiking in Bergen!

June 17, 2023 at 1:39 pm

Hi Manzar! In Bergen, you can take the Fløibanen Funicular to the top of Mt Fløyen or the Ulriken Cable Car up to the top of Mt Ulriken. Of course, you can take them back down again rather than walking :)
