Creator's Key Takeaways

Bergen was superb. It's supposed to always rain there, but we had a beautiful sunny day.

Bergen was a a must do on our list.

The town itself is really easy to navigate. The shopping is very central.

I highly recommend this pork stop if you're going to Norway.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Walk down from Mount Fløyen instead of taking the funicular round trip to save money and enjoy the scenery.
Explore the passageways behind the main buildings in the Bryggen area.
Buy waffles from the food trucks by the harbor rather than the shops in the shopping center.
Book a one-way ticket for the Fløibanen funicular if you plan to walk down.
Arrive early to popular food spots to avoid long lines.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Finding food early in the morningDon't assume waffle places are open for breakfast; many don't open until noon.
Navigating the port areaThe immediate port area is not very welcoming, but the city center is a manageable walk.

🇳🇴 First Time in Bergen, Norway! 🚢 Mountain Views, Trolls & Reindeer Sausage! Come along with us as we explore the beautiful city of Bergen, Norway, for the very first time! This was our final incredible port on our Celebrity Apex Norwegian Fjords cruise, and it did not disappoint. We took the path less traveled, walking from the cruise port through the charming downtown area to the famous Fløibanen Funicular. Hang on as we zoom up the mountainside to Mount Fløyen! We were completely surprised by how much there was to explore up top. The views are absolutely stunning—the perfect vantage point to see the city, the fjords, and the sea. You can't miss the troll that inspired Disney's Norway pavilion at Epcot! After soaking up the incredible scenery, we decided to walk down the mountain, exploring the local wildlife and breathing in the crisp, fresh Norwegian air. Our downhill trek led us straight into the historic Bryggen area, a UNESCO World Heritage site. We spent time wandering through the colorful, iconic wooden houses, shopping for souvenirs, and enjoying a classic Norwegian treat: a delicious waffle! 🔥 Highlights of our Bergen Adventure:     •    🚢 Disembarking our Celebrity Apex cruise ship     •    🚶‍♂️ Walking from the port through downtown Bergen     •    🚠 Riding the Fløibanen Funicular     •    ⛰️ Exploring Mount Fløyen and its breathtaking views     •    📸 Finding the Epcot-inspiring troll     •    🌲 Walking down the mountainside     •    🏘️ Exploring the Bryggen UNESCO World Heritage site     •    🧇 Trying a traditional Norwegian waffle     •    🐟 Checking out the famous Bergen Fish Market     •    🍽️ Trying local delicacies: reindeer sausage and authentic local beer!
