Bergen is one of the most charming summer destinations in Norway. Small but fascinating, Bergen offers a combination of fjords, architectural charm and art, as well as a good variety of quality restaurants and cafés. We pick the best spots here for a light bite.
* The Fløibanen Funicular
The Fløibanen Funicular is the perfect introduction to Bergen. It only takes a short 5-8 minute trip to reach Mount Fløyen (320m above sea level) and enjoy some of the most spectacular views of the city. Once you reach the top you can also visit Fløien Folkerestaurant, a restaurant at a great location where you can enjoy a beer or a snack while you admire Bergen’s panorama.
* Bryggen Hanseatic Wharf
With its characteristic wooden old houses that make visitors feel like they have stepped onto a film set, Bryggen is one of the primary reasons why people visit Bergen. The cobblestone alleys around the wharf are also worth exploring, with old-fashioned little shops, cafés and characteristic Scandinavian charm.
* Brunch at Bastant Stolegaten
This delicious gastro-pub is one of Bergen’s best brunch places, a great spot for a light gourmet meal and a glass of wine or beer. Home made soups and hearty sandwich combos, fresh salads, rich cakes and desserts are some of the treats that have made Bastant Stolegaten a popular culinary destination for locals and visitors.
* VilVite Bergen’s Science Centre
Bergen’s Science Centre is one of the most fascinating places in Bergen. This learning centre for technology and natural sciences offers physically interactive exhibitions to convey the thrill of scientific work and experiments, as it invites its guests to discover the world themselves.
* Aksdal i Muren
Scandinavia is known for its top quality rainwear and winter gear. If you have some money to spend during your stay in Bergen why not invest in a rain jacket that will last for many winters to come? Aksdal i Muren is the place to find the best Scandinavian brands that will keep you warm and dry such as Didriksons and Aalesund Oljeklede.
