Day-by-Day Itinerary

Day 1

Upon arrival in Bergen, you’ll be met for a private transfer to Opus XVI, a boutique hotel in the heart of the city where you’ll stay for the next two nights. Spend a relaxed afternoon exploring Bergen on foot, with the UNESCO World Heritage-listed harbour, Bryggen, just moments from your doorstep. This evening, we recommend dining at the renowned Frescohallen at Bergen Børs, located just across the street.

Day 2

After a buffet breakfast at Opus XVI, meet your private guide for a scenic walking tour of two of Bergen’s iconic peaks - Mount Fløyen and Mount Rundemanen. Begin with a ride on the Fløibanen funicular to the top of Mount Fløyen, where panoramic views over Bergen await. From here, walk by the idyllic Skomakerdiket Lake and continue on to Mount Rundemanen. Enjoy lunch at the Fløyen café before descending on foot or taking the funicular back down. This evening, enjoy a relaxed dinner at the hotel or opt for a memorable seafood experience at Cornelius, a renowned restaurant on its own private island.
