We really recommend taking a stroll out to the tip of Nordnes, especially around sunset. The walk only takes about 30 mins, and you’ll pass by traditional wooden houses and the Aquarium on your way.

Great views from the most centrally located mountain in Bergen. Only a short hike away from the city center. There's also a trolly that takes you all the way up to the mountain top if you don't feel like hiking. Bring a snack and enjoy the scenery!

Visit the historic fortress of king Sverre built in 1180. It features great views of the fjord of Bergen, and is a nice "secret" get away from the hustle and bustle of town. Bring some snacks and enjoy the sunset view!
