• Bryggen Wharf: A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this colorful row of wooden Hanseatic buildings is one of Bergen’s most iconic landmarks.

• Fløibanen Funicular: Ride to the top of Mount Fløyen for panoramic views of the city, fjords, and surrounding peaks.

• Fish Market: A lively spot to sample fresh seafood and experience Bergen’s maritime traditions.

• KODE Art Museums: A collection of four museums showcasing everything from classical art to contemporary design.

• Troldhaugen: The former home of composer Edvard Grieg, now a museum and concert venue.

Bergen’s unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty makes it the perfect starting point for a road trip through western Norway.
