Observations - other than Excursions
Not exactly a port stop but as the route starts and finishes in Bergen - it's likely that you will spend some time here.
Bergen, known as the “Gateway to the Fjords,” is packed with charm and history.
Start by wandering along and through the colourful wooden houses of Bryggen, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where you’ll find cozy cafés, pubs, galleries, and boutiques.
In the late afternoon - it's good idea to take a trip up the modern Fløibanen funicular up Mount Fløyen for sweeping views of the city as the sun sets. We chose to walk back down - look at the map - it wasn't tough.
The lively Fish Market is perfect for sampling fresh seafood.
There are endless restaurants, bars and cafes as per any big city.
Being the most southernly it is likely to be the mildest weather of any port stops - it rained a lot when we were there.
Eats
Lot and lots of restaurants
Walk
There are good footpaths around the city. Depending on your plans for arriving and departing from Bergen - you can have plenty of shore time - providing a good opportunity to take a longer walk.
Bergen - in one line
Bustling city - with plenty of places to visit, restaurants and cafes - you won't be bored.
Happy travels!
