General

  • We recommend you 3 ways of getting from the Airport Bergen Lufthavn - Flesland, to the city center, where the venue is located.

    1. The “Bybane” tram is conveniently located right outside the airport. This is by far the cheapest option. This option takes around 45 minutes from the airport to the city center with this option. We recommend you to download the Skyss app (for public transport in Bergen), to buy your ticket. Download it here for iphone and android. You can also buy your tickets with the ticket machines at the station. We recommend you to exit at the “Byparken” stop.

    2. The Airport express buss is the fastest public option, and will take you around 30 minutes. You can pre-order your tickets on their website, or buy it on the bus. We recommend you to exit the bus at the “Festplassen” stop.

    3. Taxis are also available. Uber is a popular option, but you can also use local companies, like Bergen Taxi (call 07000). However, be aware that other taxi drivers often may overcharge if you grab an arbitrary cab on the go.

  • Yes - as it should

  • Bergen, known as the gateway to the fjords, offers a wide range of activities for every interest. Stroll through the colorful, historic buildings of Bryggen, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and get a feel for the city’s Hanseatic past. Take the Fløibanen funicular or hike up Mount Fløyen for stunning views over the city and surrounding fjords. For a more challenging adventure, try the hike up Mount Ulriken or even the Vidden trail between the two peaks.

    Bergen is also a hub for culture and music. Visit the home of composer Edvard Grieg at Troldhaugen, or explore world-class art collections at the KODE museums. The lively Fish Market is perfect for sampling fresh seafood and experiencing local flavors. You can also take a fjord cruise from the city to explore Norway’s dramatic landscapes. Whether you're into hiking, history, art, or food, Bergen combines it all in a compact and scenic setting.
