Bergen

After the funicular we go on an excursion drive to the main sights, like the medieval Bergenhus fortress, Bryggen embankment, the Hanseatic quarters, the Fish market, the National Theatre, which are all located in the centre of Bergen and are worth stopping by and learning their history. On the second part of this tour, you have several options to choose from, depending on your interests and preferences. During a 5-hour tour we can offer following choices: 1. Edvard Grieg’s museum and villa Troldhaugen, Fantoft stave church and the Royal residence in Bergen – Gamlehaugen. 2. The Old Bergen museum and Edvard Grieg’s museum and villa Troldhaugen. 3. The Old Bergen museum and Fantoft stave church with a short stop at the Royal residence in Bergen – Gamlehaugen, if we have time left. 4. None of the above and something special.
