The Bergen City Guides deal with what every visitor wonders: where to eat fish soup without harbour-front prices, how to get up Fløyen without wasting half an hour in the ticket hall, what to do when it rains, which it often does, and how to reach Flåm and the fjords by train and bus on your own. Each guide is a short, clear-minded list with the reason to go, what to try and one practical tip per place, ready in your browser as soon as you pay.

Three picks from the guides
Colonialen Fetevare
Strandgaten 18
A compact deli and café stocked with Norwegian cheese, cured meats and jams. Ask for the brown cheese from Undredal, and stay for a simple Italian lunch. From the food guide.
Fløibanen
Vetrlidsallmenningen 23A, near the Fish Market
The funicular that lifts you 320 metres above the harbour in around six minutes. Sit at the uphill end for the view; on a winter afternoon you may step out into snow with the city lights below. From the things to do guide.
Flåmsbana
Flåm, via the train from Bergen to Myrdal
Twenty kilometres of mountain railway dropping from Myrdal, 866 metres up, to the fjord at Flåm, past the Kjosfossen falls. Winter timetables are thin, so catch the first train down and the last one back. From the day trips guide.
After the game, the guides
World City Trail’s scavenger hunt, outdoor escape game and audio tour in Bergen take you through the historic centre. Afterwards the guides keep you going: fish soup at a market stall, the funicular up Fløyen, an evening in a wine cellar or the train towards Flåm the next day.
