This is a great way to see a great view of the City of Bergen and the surrounding coastal mountain and fjord region. You can get tickets at the Tourist Information Center near the fish market; they include a bus trip up to the cable car and back, so you also get a good close up look at the city.The views at the top are very nice. There is a cafe up there so you can grab a light bite and cocktail and enjoy the view. There are also opportunities to hike into the mountains from easy children's hike to challenging trek, if you are so inclined. If visiting Bergen, this is a must see stop.
5. Vidden Trail between Mt. Floyen and Mt. Ulriken

Reviewed By sa7tn - Epsom, United Kingdom
We started our hike from Mt. Ulriken by taking cart up the mountain. A night before it snowed a lot. Lots of fresh snow covered the trail. Which was great! We were the first people following the trail which is easy to navigate as every few hundred meters you have a pole showing you the way! It took us considerable time to cover 13km in knee deep (sometimes waist deep) new snow. But it was a great sunny day, quite amazing day. Later in a day and closer to Mt. Floyen we met a lot of people skiing. Amazing hike. But do consider the following, if you have Bergen card it is 20% off the cart at Mt. Ulriken. You cannot get free ticket down Mt. Floyen with a card as the only way they can be issued is downstairs at the office. This one is strange one, how come owning a bergen card you only can get free or discounted ticket at the bottom of the mountain is beyond me. The hike is hard as you do alot of up and downs. Some basic fitness needed. Highly recommend it! Also, you can find a trail to follow on different apps like alltrails dot com and so on, if you are worried to get lost.

7. Stoltzekleiven

Reviewed By debbies401 - Milton, Canada
We took the funicular up to the top of Mt Floyen and then walked down on the Stoltzekleiven. It was not a difficult walk and signage ensured that everyone arrived at their destination. Views were beautiful so ensure that you take a camera with you.We walked down the route in the evening so had the benefit of seeing the sunset. The paths were paved and the stairs were very safe. We ran into the herd of goats that live on the Mt Floyen during our descent and did not encounter any mosquitoes which surprised us. It was the highlight of our last night in Bergen! This is a "must do" activity when visiting Bergen!

Because of Covid-19, the regular escape rooms were all closed. But they had a concept called Cityhunt, which is crime solving around Bergen city center. There were 6 crime scenes with several tasks to solve at each location. Answers was entered on each of our phones, but we also got a folder containing all the tasks, and a pen. We had two hours to finish the crime solving, which we made by 10 minutes to spare. The game was challenging, but possible to solve. The tasks were varied and a lot of fun! Easy to book, and good information was given. Can be played by 3-100 people in groups of 4-6 people. Would definitely recommend this for both people from Bergen and others!
