The city hosts numerous festivals each year, with the most renowned being the Bergen International Festival and the Night Jazz Festival at the end of May (first held in 1953). These events bring together top actors, jazz musicians, ballet dancers, dancers, and musicians. Over the span of two weeks, you can enjoy more than 200 events.
After an evening of jazz, the most fitting way to conclude the night is by visiting one of Bergen's nightclubs. Among nightlife enthusiasts, the most popular clubs include:
Engelen is an establishment where classics and modernity blend seamlessly. Visitors particularly appreciate the extensive music selection, spanning retro to contemporary hits.
Rubinen is a favorite for rock 'n' roll fans, offering stirring rhythms of tango and Latin American compositions.
Metro boasts one of the best playlists in town and features an outdoor terrace where you can unwind after an energetic dance, even in the autumn, with warm blankets available.
WARNING: When heading to a nightclub or disco, be sure to bring your passport, as there is a strict age restriction at local nightlife venues.
