Night Tour, Ulriken & Floyen

An evening tour that takes in both of Bergen's city mountains, Ulriken and Fløyen, by cable car and funicular. After dark the city lights spread out below, and the guide points out landmarks from the viewpoints at the top. Transport up and down both mountains is included, so the walking stays light and the emphasis is on the views.

Overview

This evening tour spends three hours moving between Bergen's two mountain viewpoints, with dinner at the second one. It starts with pickup in the city center, then a ride up the Fløibanen funicular to Mount Fløyen, where the guide leads a sightseeing stop and there is time to take in the aerial view over the city as the light fades.

From there the tour continues by vehicle to Mount Ulriken for the main event: a five course dinner at Skyskraperen Restaurant, described by the operator as Norway's highest restaurant. The menu is Nordic cuisine, and the operator promises panoramic views of the illuminated city below. The final leg is a scenic night drive back down, with the tour ending where it began, at Sentrum.

Transport, both cable car and funicular tickets, the guide, and the full dinner are all covered in the tour price. Drinks at the restaurant are not, so a credit card is worth having. The tour runs in English and the operator pitches it at travellers who want a mix of nature, history, and fine dining in a single evening.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points from the listing will help you prepare for this evening.

• What to wear. The listing advises dressing according to the weather. Comfortable shoes and comfortable clothes are both on the what-to-bring list, since the Fløyen stop includes sightseeing with the guide.
• Bring a card. Drinks are not included in the tour price, so if you want anything beyond the dinner itself you will pay for it at the restaurant. A credit card is listed among the items to bring.
• Food and drink. The dinner is five courses of Nordic cuisine at Skyskraperen Restaurant on Mount Ulriken. Transport, guide, and both the funicular and cable car tickets are included, while drinks and tips are not.
• Pace and timing. The whole tour runs about three hours, with the longest stretch, 91 minutes, at Ulriken for dinner and the view. The Fløyen stop is shorter at 45 minutes, so expect a moving evening rather than long free time at either mountain.
• Photos. Both stops are listed with aerial views, and the Ulriken segment is tagged for sunset and scenic views on the way. Twilight and city lights are the visual theme of the evening, so a camera or phone with good low-light performance will serve you well.
• Vehicle rules. Alcoholic drinks are not allowed in the vehicle, and feeding animals, fireworks, and explosive substances are prohibited on the tour. Drinks at the restaurant are paid for separately.

Common issues. The listing itself flags the main practical limits: drinks and tips are not included in the price, so the dinner is the only food covered. No reviews of this specific tour were available at the time of writing, so there is no traveller feedback yet on group size, pacing, or how the dinner service fits into the 91 minute Ulriken window.
