Bergen Tours On The Map: Where Every Trip Begins

Bergen packs nearly every tour start into a small, walkable core. Walking guides, food tours and free pay-what-you-want walks leave from around Bryggen and the fish market. Fjord boats cast off from the harbour quays for the Byfjorden and Mostraumen. Day trips to Hardangerfjord, Sognefjord and the glacier country set out by bus, with one Sognefjord option departing at 07:45. You rarely need more than your own two feet between meeting points.

The City And The Waterfront

The city centre hugs the water. Bryggen's wharves, the fish market and the harbour front sit within a few minutes of each other, and most guided walks gather somewhere in that stretch. From there the Byfjorden opens west, and the Fløibanen and Ulriken cable cars lift you above the rooftops for the view back down. Combos covering both mountains start from $51 per person.

Every Tour On The Map, From Bryggen To The Fjords

Every one of the 38 tours in our roster is pinned to its real start point. The densest cluster sits at Bryggen and the quays, where walking tours, food tours and free walks begin. From that core the map fans out: Mostraumen cruises from the harbour, Hardangerfjord and Sognefjord day trips by road and rail, glacier runs further afield. Published from-prices on the pins run from $0 to $1548.62 per person.

Where the day starts, and the twenty-eight mapped points around it A true-scale plot of 29 real coordinates read from OpenStreetMap, north upwards. Bryggen is the ringed point. Every other point is one mapped place, coloured by which set it belongs to and numbered to match the cards below. The grid squares are 5 km across. Nineteen points sit within a few metres of a neighbour, so they have been nudged apart just far enough to stay readable. A dashed line runs back to the true position. Distances on the cards are straight-line figures between the mapped coordinates, not road distances and not walking times.

Every start point on this map sits within a short walk or a single ferry hop, so the pins show exactly where to be and when.
