Bergen's primary tourist route involves strolling through the historic center and waterfront, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. One of the city's great advantages is that nearly all the attractions are within walking distance.
Whether you choose to explore the Bryggen district, visit St. Mary's Church, Edvard Grieg's manor house, or the Hanseatic Museum, you'll be captivated by the city's unique character. Sometimes, it feels like Bergen is a world of its own, with its own rules of existence. The city boasts numerous old architectural treasures, including wooden houses and churches constructed without a single nail. However, the most remarkable aspect of Bergen is the atmosphere of harmony and tranquility that pervades it.
If traditional city walks don't satisfy your adventurous spirit, challenge yourself by participating in the 7-fjellsturen marathon. This event typically occurs in late May or early June. The 35km run, spanning seven Bergen mountains, is a demanding feat for seasoned runners. For those less prepared, there's a lighter version of the marathon - the 4-fjellsturen - where you only need to conquer four mountains. The registration fee is 450 NOK.
