Experience Bergen’s highlights on your most comprehensive private Bergen tour. Explore the UNESCO-listed Bryggen waterfront, relax on a sightseeing cruise, and enjoy views from both Mount Fløyen and Mount Ulriken—all in one day.

Start with a guided walk through Bryggen, the Fish Market and the city centre. Then sit back aboard a 90-minute Bergen cruise and watch the historic waterfront pass by. After the boat trip, stop for lunch at Søstrene Hagelin, known for traditional Norwegian fish dishes.

From there, continue in a private vehicle to Fantoft Stave Church and learn about Norway’s viking era. Visit the grounds of Gamlehaugen, Bergen’s royal residence, before finishing with a gondola ride up Mount Ulriken.

The day combines short, guided walks with plenty of time to sit back and enjoy the journey by boat, funicular, private vehicle and gondola.
