About
This tour suggestion starts at the Tourist Information at the Fish Market. It takes you through Bergen city center on sidewalks/walkways, past the Music Pavilion, and to the lake Lille Lungegårdsvannet. From there you follow a dedicated bike path.
The bike path goes around the lake Store Lungegårdsvannet and through the 475-meter-long Kronstad tunnel under the hospital area. After the tunnel, you get to Kronstad light rail stop followed by Kristianborg and the bike tunnel.
The Fyllingsdalen bike tunnel goes from Kristianborg and is 3000 meters long. In the middle of the tunnel, there are art installations, a digital sundial, and benches. When you come out of the tunnel, you're in Fyllingsdalen at the Oasen shopping center, where this suggested trip ends. Enjoy some lunch or shopping before cycling or taking the light rail back to the city center.
