Itinerary
1
Strandgaten
We stroll down Strandgaten, the historic main street for the Norwegian merchants. But we won't just walk down here - we'll veer off-the-beaten path for some unique views of Bergen.
2
Nykirken
We stop outside Nykirken, the church built for the merchants in the 17th century. Edvard Grieg was baptised here. But we'll also discuss the Archbishops Residence that used to be there.
3
Nordnes Sjobad
After taking some secret streets in Nordnes (you'll have to take the tour to learn about them!), we end up at the halfway point, the Nordnes Park.
4
USF Arts Center (Verftet)
As we make our way back to the city, we enter one of the best-preserved neighbourhoods in Bergen. Here we'll see the culture house and surrounds.
5
Knøsesmauet
We stop outside what has been voted the most beautiful street in Bergen.
6
Nøstegaten
For the last part of the tour, we head into the well-preserved sailors neighbourhood of Nostet.
7
Den Nationale Scene
Heading back into the city, we pass by Bergen's theatre.
