Walking Tour in Bergen of the Past and Present

Free booking, free cancelation.   Don't lose your place.

Join authorised, local guides for an authentic, small-group experience around Bergen - both the city and off-the-beaten path.

The first half of our tour focuses on Bergen's history. We wander the fortress complex, covering Bergen’s medieval history and short period as Norway's capital. After this crash course in Norwegian history, we make our way to Bryggen, Bergen’s UNESCO Site. Here, you learn about 1,000 years of trade history and the reason for Bergen’s founding and growth.

The second half of our tour is about life in Bergen. We leave the ‘touristy’ part behind and wander into the neighbourhood surrounding Bryggen. As you explore Bergen’s best kept secret, you’ll learn about everyday life. The tour ends by passing by our top picks for restaurants.

We consider this a moderate walk with stairs. The walk is approximately 3km (2 miles).

Once you book, you’ll receive a confirmation email with all the details — including where to meet, what to wear, and our contact info.
