The adventure begins at the beautiful Bergen Harbour, where you'll board the boat and meet the experienced guide.

The cruise in Bergen will take you through Western Norway's breathtaking nature, sailing on the City Fjord, Salhus Fjord and Kverna Fjord.

Disembarking the boat, you'll explore the city on foot with the knowledgeable guide, starting at the Fish Market.

The Bergen Fish Market, located at the heart of the city by the harbour, is one of Norway's most visited outdoor markets. It offers a wide array of fresh seafood, local produce, and various artisanal products and is a bustling spot where you can enjoy a taste of Norway's maritime culture. You'll tour this lively market and learn more about its historical significance, dating back to the 1200s. Then, you'll visit Bryggen Hanseatic Wharf, one of Bergen's main attractions.

Bryggen, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a historic harbour district characterised by its colourful wooden buildings dating back to the 14th-16th century. The city's very first buildings were situated here. After exploring these historical buildings, the tour of Bergen continues to Bergenhus Fortress, one of the oldest and best-preserved fortresses in Norway. During medieval times, this fortress contained a cathedral, several churches, the bishop’s residence and a Dominican monastery.

The next attraction of the sightseeing tour in Bergen is the famous Fløien Funicular. This funicular railway will take you from the city centre up to the top of Mount Fløyen, one of the seven mountains surrounding Bergen.
