Overview

Experience Bergen at your own pace with a local Bergen enthusiast. On this self-guided tour, go "off the beaten track" and discover "Old Sandviken", where the world's smallest house with a mansard roof and Madam Felle's former pub, linked to Bergen's famous drinking song, can be found. Immerse yourself in Bergen's Sandviken, appreciating its charm with a local guide.

Uncover intriguing tales, including Bergen's unique fire station history, statues of boys in uniform, a wartime boat anchor on Sandviksfjellet Mountain, and a repurposed telephone booth for free books. Allow just over an hour for this captivating itinerary, and don't forget your rain jacket.
