Highlights
-
Bergen - Part 1 - A walk through the city
In the first part of the tour, we go for a walk through the lively centre of Bergen. On our way past the fish market, the theatre and the old fire station, we encounter personalities such as Edvard Grieg and Henrik Ibsen. On our tour, however, I don’t only want to bring you closer to the historical sides of the city, but also to the people of Bergen and their life in the here and now.

Recommended Bergen walking tour - Martin was very knowledgeable about Bergen and its history. We learned a lot in 2 hours. Though it was raining most of the time, he was oblivious to it and kept on pushing us on.

Two Hours of Bergen Highlights - There was just the two of us with our tour guide Neal, as he took us on a 2 hour walk around Bergen giving us the history of the city and showing us the buildings and sites of importance.
If you have a list of the places to see in Bergen then they are pretty much all covered on this tour from the start at the Fish Market to the Kings Hall at Bergenhus Fortress.
A great tour equal parts light hearted and informative, highly recommended.
