Getting Around
Are you in good shape; I recommend the hike over the mountains from Fløyen to Ulriken (approximately 5 hours walk). You can ride a cable car down from Ulriken, and then take a bus from Haukeland back to the city center. More information on the norwegian site UT.

Bryggen is a historic harbour district in Bergen, one of North Europe’s oldest port cities on the west coast of Norway which was established as a centre for trade by the 12th century. In 1350 the Hanseatic League established a “Hanseatic Office” in Bergen. They gradually acquired ownership of Bryggen and controlled the trade in stockfish from Northern Norway through privileges granted by the Crown. The Hanseatic League established a total of four overseas Hanseatic Offices, Bryggen being the only one preserved today.

Drinks & Nightlife
"Natives born in the 80s know that this venue is located in the same space as the street wear shop called "Stress". The shop was the first of its kind in Bergen and became an institution for many. Us included. We named the bar "No Stress" for nostalgic reasons. This is a cocktail bar. We pride ourselves on our cocktails and only use proper ingredients. We press the juices we use ourselves, and cook our own selection of sirups."
