Bergen: Segway Tour to Mt. Fløyen Views & Historic Streets

Summary

Segway up Bergen’s hills for city views and old street stories

You’ll roll through Bergen’s UNESCO-listed streets on a Segway, hear local stories from your guide as you pass parks and historic corners, then climb halfway up Mt. Fløyen for sweeping city views you’ll want to remember long after you’re home.

What’s the experience like?

Right off the bat, I nearly toppled over trying to balance on the Segway — not my smoothest start in Bergen. Our guide, Erik, just grinned and said everyone wobbles at first (he wasn’t lying). We zipped out from the meeting spot and suddenly we were weaving through those tight cobbled streets that make Bergen so famous — you know, the ones with the crooked wooden houses? The air smelled faintly of seaweed, even though we weren’t right by the harbor yet. Kids in bright rain jackets darted past us, yelling something I couldn’t catch.

We rolled past a park where locals lounged on benches, coffee cups in hand. Erik pointed out a statue — I forget the name now — and told us about how the city rebuilt itself after one of its fires. He had this way of making history sound like neighborhood gossip. Then came the climb up towards Mount Fløyen. Halfway up, my hands were cold from gripping the handlebars but I didn’t care because suddenly there was this wide view over Bergen’s rooftops and fjord beyond. I tried to take a photo but honestly it didn’t do it justice (does it ever?).

I think what stuck with me most was how quiet it got as we climbed higher — just our wheels humming and some gulls overhead. Erik let us pause for a bit to take it all in; he said locals come up here to clear their heads when life gets too busy down below. Maybe that’s why I still think about that moment when everything slowed down for a second. Anyway, after that we coasted back down, legs a little shaky but hearts lighter somehow.
