Orientation to Bergen

Bergen clusters around its harbor—nearly everything listed in this chapter is within a few minutes’ walk. The busy Torget (the square with the Fish Market) is at the head of the harbor. As you face the sea from here, Bergen’s TI is at the left end of the Fish Market. The town’s historic Hanseatic Quarter, Bryggen (BREW-gun), lines the harbor on the right. Express boats to the Sognefjord (Balestrand and Flåm) and Stavanger dock at the harbor on the left.

Charming cobbled streets surround the harbor and climb the encircling hills. Bergen’s popular Fløibanen funicular climbs high above the city to the top of Mount Fløyen for the best view of the town. Surveying the surrounding islands and inlets, it’s clear why this city is known as the “Gateway to the Fjords.”
