  • Mount Floyen is probably one of the most famous tourist attractions in Norway and Scandinavia as well. Tourists from all over the world coming here and taking the unique funicular to the mountaintop. But it is not only the view or the funicular but also the nature around, for more details check my Off The Beaten Path tips.
    *Additional images here are from the top of the hill.

  • Bergen has one of the most famous fish market in Europe, it is has a lot to offer from seafood to souvenirs, but due to the mass tourism, items seems very much over prices here, but I guess this is normal in Norway ;-)

  • Johanneskirken is the tall big church in the city centre. You can have a good view of it while walking in the central square and walk up the hill and few additional steps to get to it.
