Luxury Bergen Tours made for you
Enjoy the best of Bergen with a private trip designed just for you
City of the Seven Mountains and Seven Fjords
Known as ‘The City of the Seven Mountains and Seven Fjords’, Bergen is a bustling port town placed on Norway’s west coast. As its moniker suggests, you’ll find Bergen to be a city that benefits vastly from its beautiful surroundings; the town’s timber houses climb the forested slopes above it, facing impressive fjords which are sheltered to the north, south and west by a series of islands.
Bergen is a relaxed and easy-going town, very much in touch with its nautical roots. The lively main harbour, Vagen, and the Fish Market lie at the town’s heart and the city is probably best known for the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Bryggen Hanseatic Wharf with its colourful traditional wooden houses.
Often touted as one of Norway’s most enjoyable cities, Bergen boasts some of the region’s best restaurants. There’s also a great choice of museums and galleries, meaning that you’ll have no trouble keeping yourself entertained during your stay.

A word from one of our experts
Bergen is truly beautiful, with the colourful wooden houses of the UNESCO-recognised Bryggen Hanseatic Wharf. I recommend experiencing life on a Norwegian farm in the outskirts of the city, or hiking to the top of Mount Fløyen with an expert guide, where you'll be greeted by stunning panoramic views.

When to visit
Norway is spectacular year-round. In summer, animals and fauna thrive during the long stretch of constant light and it’s the best time for exploring fjords and glaciers, kayaking and trekking. The polar winter night means that the Northern Lights are bright and the freezing conditions are great for snowmobiling, skiing, husky sledding and visiting ice caves.
