You are here: Home Ideas & Inspiration Weekend trips to Bergen Romantic Weekend in Bergen
Surprise your loved one with a weekend to Bergen or plan your weekend together. Enjoy a holiday filled with unique experiences that will bring you closer together and fill your hearts with happiness in years to come.
Start your weekend with a stroll through Bryggen and feel that you traveling back in time. Smell the wood and hear the creak of the woodwork as you walk in the narrow passageways. Bryggen is part of UNESCO's World Heritage List. Pop into one of the many galleries and small shops and buy a painting or souvenir to take home.
Continue the walk out to the Nordnes-area. Here you will find both the charming Nordnespark, which is perfect for a romantic walk, and Bergen Aquarium. At the Aquarium there is a lot to experience, but since you are on a romantic trip, make sure you visit the penguin pond. Penguins find a mate which they keep for life, what is more romantic than that?
For lunch try Cornelius Seafood Restaurant, one of Norway's best seafood restaurants situated right by the sea on a small island with spectacular views of the fjord, mountains, skerries, and passing boats and ships. It is truly magical, the food as well as the surroundings. The island can only be reached by boat and the trip takes about 25 minutes from the city center and you can book in advance. Scheduled departures every day from middle of May to late August. For other times of the year the boat leaves on demand.

When you’re going for dinner there is a large selection of restaurants to choose from in Bergen. If you looking for a gourmet experience then BARE Restaurant (got Bergen's first Michelin star in the spring of 2020) and Lysverket are good options. But there are also a number of other nice restaurants in different genres.
Back in the city centre; take a stroll to Fløibanen Funicular that takes you up to the top of Mount Fløyen. Seeing the city from above gives you that great feeling of freedom and being on top of the world! Ask someone to take your photo with the amazing view as a backdrop. This is the perfect spot for that Facebook photo! If you follow the trail to the left you will see a few nice secluded benches where you can watch the sunset and just enjoy being together.

All venues in Bergen have adjusted and found safe solutions for infection control, both in relation to the distance between participants, the number of participants and other measures to be able to conduct safe concerts.
