Bergen Ferry Port Overview
Bergen is located on the west coast of Norway. Bergen is "The Gateway to the Fjords of Norway" and "The Fjord Capital", an established main port in Norway that caters, on average, up to, 157.000 passengers, between May and September.
The city of Bergen was founded in 1070 by King Olaf III and was originally called Bjorgvin; now Bergen has a population of 225,000 inhabitants, and is the second largest city in Norway, and has also been honoured with the title of European Capital of Culture in 2000.
The most visited attractions in Bergen are the; Floybanen, the Funicular, Bergen Aquarium, The Troldhaugen, Edvard Grieg museum, Hanseatic Museum, The Bryggen (the waterfront), and the famous Fish Market.
The old wooden buildings along the harbor front in Bergen (Bryggen) were placed on UNESCO's World Heritage List in 1980. The Fish Market is ideally situated, close to waterfront.
Floybanen, the Funicular will take you from the city center (150 meters from the Fish Market) to the top of the Mount Floyen at 320 meters above sea level. There you can enjoy a magnificent view of all the surrounding islands, and walk along numerous (easy) paths around the mountain and the lakes. On the top of Mount Floyen there is a restaurant, which is open in the summer, and a kiosk and souvenir shop.
From the Fish Market you can walk to the Bergen Aquarium, which has one of the finest and most extensive collections of marine fauna in Europe.
The Troldhaugen and the Edvard Grieg museum, was the home of Nina and Edvard Grieg. The attractive Swiss-style house was built in 1884-85 on a promontory, with a spectacular view of Lake Nordaas. The museum is located 8Km South of Bergen, and is a perfect day out for all the family.
Hanseatic Museum is situated in Bergen's city centre. The Hanseatic Museum represents what one of these trade houses would be like in the last few years of this German Office, which has been trading for the Hanseatic League from 1360 until 1754.
