A lovely panoramic drive that introduces you to Bergen from the comfort of a coach seat! Sit back and relax and watch the highlights of this colourful city pass you by.Embark on a lovely, short and sweet introduction to Bergen and its highlights. This picturesque city was founded in 1070 AD and has many fascinating stories to tell. Once the Capital of Norway, it was home the Norwegian Kings, boasted of a huge number of places of worship and hosted many notable, historical events.
Owing most of its wealth and prominence to the fish export trade, Bergen was, throughout the Middle Ages, Norway’s most important town. Growing in size to become the country’s largest city, only to be taken over by Oslo, it is still a popular and thriving metropolis.
Start an orientation drive with your guide and explore the beautiful buildings, landmarks andmonuments that make Bergen such a favourite port of call for cruisers. Follow the waterfront and marvel at the mountain scenery that offers a wonderful backdrop to the harbour. Pass the Bergenhus fortress that dates back to the Middle Ages and notice its neighbouring Old Coronation Hall and Tower of Rosenkranz.
See the UNESCO World Heritage area of Bryggen and learn about the most famous and photographed buildings in the city. This 18th century collection of Hanseatic merchant buildings was built in a traditional style after a sweeping fire destroyed much of the area.
Admire the bustling fish market that’s synonymous with Bergen and drive out onto theNordnes peninsula for photo opportunities of 19th century painted, wooden houses and the city’s inner harbour.
This lovely tour is perfect for those of you wanting to do your sightseeing from the comfort of a coach! Sit back, relax and have the city’s highlights brought to life for you as they pass you by.
