Begin your day with a stroll through Bergen’s city center, visiting its most famous landmarks, including Bryggen, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Along the way, you’ll learn about Bergen’s Hanseatic past, maritime history, the fires that shaped the city, and its modern life. After the walk, continue by conformable coach to the ferry crossing and take a short ride across the Osterfjord.
On Osterøy island, visit the traditional village of Hosanger and enjoy a simple lunch at a family-run seaside venue. The return journey includes a photo stop at the impressive Osterøy Bridge, offering panoramic views over the fjord before heading back to Bergen.

Leaving the city center, we drive through Sandviken and Bergen’s northern districts, offering a different perspective on the city beyond the historic core. This relaxed bus ride is a comfortable way to see everyday life in Bergen, from residential areas to coastal scenery, all from the comfort of a modern coach.

5.00Our driver Tura was very professional and our guide Mereta was knowledgeable and personal. The scenic drive to the small village of Hosanger was exciting and yet relaxing, utilizing a short ferry crossing and bridges. We experienced how locals lived while walking with our guide around Bergen.
