This morning after breakfast, at 10am, your private biking guide will meet you at the lobby of your hotel. From here, you’ll start an easy city bike tour.
You’ll visit the main sights of the city and traveling by bike means you may see the best of Bergen in just 4 hours.
The Bryggen Wharf was established here in Bergen in the 12th century. Starting in 1360 the Hanseatic League, a guild of German merchants who dominated trade in Europe from the 13th to 17th centuries founded a Kontor (trading post) here and gradually came to control the Bryggen area until 1754. Though the buildings you see here today date from after the great fire of 1702, the architectural style has remained the same over time and is much older than the buildings themselves.
You could also stop and admire St. Mary’s Church, dating back to 1170, and one of the finest examples of Romanesque architecture in Norway. Pass by Koengen, which was once an army depot, and see the medieval Bergenhus Fortress.
During your tour (or after), you may also ride the Fløibanen Funicular Railway to the top of Mt- Fløien. This is one of Norway’s best-known attractions. Fløibanen can be found in the heart of Bergen, close to the fish market and the Bryggen wharf. The journey up to Fløyen Mountain (320 m above sea level) takes 5–8 minutes. The journey is an experience in itself and at the top, you can enjoy fantastic views over Bergen.
Your tour will end back at your accommodation. Thereafter, you may spend the rest of the day exploring Bergen at your own peace. Please dress in layers and bring comfortable shoes and clothes.
