Mount Floyen and Fløybanen (the Funicular)

For a superb view of the city, take the Funicular from the city center up to the top of Mount Floyen. The view is amazing from the top; it’s no surprise that this is one of Bergen’s most popular tourist sites! The Funicular departs on the hour and half hour from early morning to 11 PM throughout most of the year, running till midnight from May to August.

Bergen Aquarium 

The Bergen Aquarium is one of the largest aquariums in Europe. With over 50 tanks, this is a sight not to be missed, and one that the entire family can enjoy.

Fresco Hall 

Fresco Hall has been deemed a national treasure. The murals on the walls were painted by Axel Revold (1887-1962). Two sections of the mural focus on the fishing industry that is so much a part of Norway’s history. In addition, another area shows the busyness of life during the modern machine age. Young and old alike will be entranced by the beauty of these murals.
