Bergen fjord Tour: Mostraumen Fjord, Old Town & Floyen

This Bergen fjord tour brings together the best of Norway’s gateway to the fjords in one smooth, well-paced outing: the city’s historic heart, a funicular ride to its most famous viewpoint, and a scenic cruise into the wild landscapes north of town. A knowledgeable local guide leads you throughout, and because the tour runs year-round, you can enjoy it in any season.

Discover Bergen’s Historic City Centre on Foot

Your day starts with a guided walk through central Bergen, where centuries of trade and seafaring history are still visible on every corner. Soak up the atmosphere of the bustling Fish Market, then wander among the colourful wooden buildings of Bryggen, the old Hanseatic wharf listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You’ll also see St. Mary’s Church, one of the oldest buildings in the city, and the mighty Bergenhus Fortress guarding the harbour. Your guide shares local anecdotes, historical context and little details that most visitors walk straight past.

Fisketorget, Bergen’s Fish Market

Nestled between the fjord and the seven mountains surrounding Bergen, the Fish Market is one of Norway’s most popular open-air markets. Since the 13th century, it has been a lively meeting point where fishermen, farmers and townspeople came to trade. Fishermen from nearby villages would even row in at dawn to sell their fresh catch from their boats, then row home the same day.

Today, you can still browse stalls of fresh fish and seafood, local fruit, berries, vegetables and flowers, or enjoy a seafood meal at one of the many restaurants. The indoor market is open all year round, while the outdoor stalls operate from May to September.

Bergen fjord Tour : Ride the Floibanen Funicular to Mount Floyen

Next, hop aboard the Floibanen, Bergen’s iconic funicular and one of the most popular attractions in Norway. Within minutes, it carries you up to the summit of Mount Floyen, where a sweeping panorama opens over the rooftops, the harbour, the fjord and the seven mountains that surround the city. Have your camera ready: this is the classic Bergen viewpoint and a highlight for every traveller.

Cruise to Mostraumen, a Fjord Gem Near Bergen

The final part of this Bergen fjord tour is a relaxing boat trip to Mostraumen, one of the most striking fjord landscapes within easy reach of the city. Leaving the Cityfjord behind, you sail into the Osterfjord as the scenery grows wilder, with sheer mountain walls, tight channels and swirling tidal currents. Depending on the season and the weather, the boat may glide close enough to cascading waterfalls for you to feel the mist on your face, an unforgettable way to experience Norway’s fjords up close.
