Looking for a unique walking tour in Bergen that takes you away from the busy crowded areas of Bryggen and the fish market? Discover one of the best-kept secrets in the city with this walking tour of the Nordnes peninsula.
Nordnes is a 1km (0.6 mile) long peninsula that stretches into Bergen harbour. While the Hanseatic League were dominating trade on Bryggen, Nordnes is where the Norwegian merchants developed their businesses. But Nordnes was also the centre of power in Bergen, and it was the city’s courthouse and execution site for hundreds of years. It's also where witches were burned in the 16th and 17th centuries. In the 19th century, it became a hub of sailors and red-light district, with the narrow, dark alleys the perfect place to hide undercover activity. Today it is a popular (and expensive) neighbourhood with families, schools, and beautiful parks.
We limit the group size as this tour is through a residential neighbourhood. You ask as many questions as you want!

Cần Quan Tâm
We stroll down Strandgaten, the historic main street for the Norwegian merchants. But we won't just walk down here - we'll veer off-the-beaten path for some unique views of Bergen.
Nykirken
We stop outside Nykirken, the church built for the merchants in the 17th century. Edvard Grieg was baptised here. But we'll also discuss the Archbishops Residence that used to be there.

5.00Very engaging small group walking tour through a picturesque part of Bergen. Our guide (a Bergen native) was very knowledgeable and engaging, offering a rich perspective on the Nordnes area and its history, as well as that of Bergen and Norway as a whole. Our group was encouraged to ask lots of questions, and we certainly did. I was very glad to have this opportunity to explore off the beaten path and discover another side of Bergen beyond the city's most famous landmarks. Nordnes is incredibly charming and well worth adding to a Bergen visit itinerary. I would certainly not have gotten the same appreciation for it just wandering the area on my own. Happy to have found this tour!
