There are several guided tours of the city. You can join Martin on a guided walk and see the sights of Bergen including the fortress Bergenhus, the Hanseatic quarter (Bryggen), St.Mary´s Church to name just a few. You can book "Martin´s City Walking Tour - Bergen on Foot" online.

During the summer you can join one of the regular guided walking tours of Bryggen. To stroll through Bryggen’s narrow alleyways and overhanging galleries is to step back into the mists of time and a bygone era. Bryggen is very much a living part of the cultural heritage that is still in active use in this historical area of the city. The tour "Guided tours at Schøtstuene and Bryggen" is offered in several languages.

If you would like to explore the city on your own, this map will show you some interesting sites to visit.

Guided tours of the fjords:

A lot of fjord tours and cruises from Bergen are self-guided. They are quite easy to follow, but on some tours you have to be on the alert when changing from one form of transport to another. Some visitors might prefer to travel on a guided fjord tour and there is a few options available. To experience the UNESCO World Heritage Site Nærøyfjorden, you can join a Guided full day tour from Bergen - including Nærøyfjord Cruise & Flåm Railway. This tour is a day trip from Bergen and provides you with a great fjord experience as well as some great viewpoints along the way. 

Another great option is the active from Norway Active. On these tours you travel parts of the journey on your own and then meet up with a guide along the way. Tours like Standard Extra fjord tour from Bergen included train from Bergen, Flåm Railway, biking and kayaking. A great way to experience the best of the best in the fjord Norway region.

Book your own personal guide:

You can also book a guide from one of the guide companies that can guide you or your group at Bryggen or on a city tour. The traditional Fish Market and Bryggen with its interesting history are considered a must to visit for most visitors to Bergen. At Bryggen you will experience and touch the exciting history of the Hanseatic period in Bergen.

Bergen is more than Bryggen and the Fish Market - come along and discover charming streets and narrow alleyways. Bergen’s small wooden houses add to the city’s charm and uniqueness. Many of these old wooden buildings date back to the 18th and 19th centuries and have been respectfully restored and refurbished in recent years.

Great areas for the charming neighborhoods are areas such as Nordnes, Nøstet and Sandviken where narrow alleyways and cobbled streets dominate. People have lived in these areas for centuries, and they are well worth exploring for their charm. To experience Bergen on foot at a comfortable pace gives a whole new impression of the city.

Bergen has a large variety of things to do and guided tours are popular. Especially during peak season we recommend you book your trip in advance to guarantee your space on.
