Sightseeing
Bergen is a small city with few tourist traps. Best tip is to get lost in the narrow streets in the old areas. Try also to walk up Mount Floyen - Far better than standing in line for the funicular
Mount Floyen is a most DO THIS when you are in Bergen. Walk up and down the nice gravel roads. There are about 10 different routes. On top you will get an amazing view, when sunny...
You can also go hiking in nice trails, rent mountain bikes, zip line ect. If it is nice weather nad you have 5-6 hours to spend you can walk to Mount Ulriken. Remember the weather can change fast. Bring good and warm clothes, food and water.
