Neighbourhood
Welcome to Bergen!
The apartment is situated in a quiet area close to the city center. Busses, light rail (to city center or airport) is a 5-8 minutes walk away. Convenience store just around the corner, nice neighborhood restaurants, pharmacy and bakery close by. If you prefer to walk, you will reach the city center in 20 minutes.
In Bergen you can visit the Kode art galleries, world heritage site Bryggen, Bergen natural history museum, Mount Fløyen, or maybe you want to take a swim in the fjord at Nordnes Sjøbad or Heit Sauna? You can also visit Troldhaugen, the home of famous Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg and enjoy a classical concert in Troldsalen.
From Bergen you can take the train to Oslo, through the Hardanger vidda mountain plateau, make stops at Voss, Finse, Ustaoset or Geilo. You can also go by train to Flåm and by boat back to Bergen. Fjord cruises to Flåm, Gudvangen and world heritage site Nærøyfjorden leave every day in the summer.
Ulriken cable car and Mount Ulriken close by. Maybe you will do the classic hike through “Vidden” from Ulriken to Mount Fløyen?

Mother of two - Based in Bergen, Norway🇳🇴trying to show my kids the world 🌎 one place at a time.
Always looking for exciting options in Europe, long weekends in cities easily reached from Bergen (direct flights) or longer stays anywhere. We are in particular very interested in exchanges to Eastern Europe. Also interested in Southern England for summer (school) holidays.
My kids would wish to exchange to anywhere where swimming is an option, I would say ANYWHERE in the world that sounds exciting and preferably a place that I would otherwise not have thought of visiting!
Japan is on our bucket list for longer exchanges in the future, so is Mexico.. and the rest of the world really!
"New England, New York, Florida, California.. preferably along the coast"
