If you are travelling on the E16, make a stop at this fantastic hotel, and have a drink and a pastry there to admire the gorgeous view! Really worth a stop. Furthermore, the little laces road which joins again the E16 is breathtaking.

Råd om byen
Sådan kommer du omkring
busses
there is a good network of busses in bergen and surroundings. download the app Skyss Reise to see the different lines and schedule. My house is 3mn walk from the bus stop called "Melkeplasse", line 19. it runs every 10 to 15mn.
i recommend you buy a 48h pass on the app Skyss billet, it is going to cost you less. i don't recommend to buy a ticket inside the bus, it's very expensive
Sådan kommer du omkring
from and to the airport
City to or from airport, i recommend the tramway, or "bybane". it costs about 4€ only!
you also have flybussen
and of course taxi. i recommend the app JIP, which give you good prices.
otherwise you can jump into a taxi and ask for "fastpris", its about 500kr
from airport to my house, the fastest is a taxi, takes about 17mn. there is not much other easy transportation. tramway + bus would take around 1h20 ..
other solution is flybussen from airport to OASEN mall center (99kr/10€), and a taxi from there to my house
Det skal du pakke
must-have
no matter the season, always pack a good woolen jumper and a good rain jacket. that's all you must know!

A little jewel! Bring your swimsuit and go there early morning, so there will be less people. There is a open swimming pool, heated, a tiny sauna, and an access to the sea 💙.They’re also opened in the winter time ! And I swear it’s worth to go under the snow ❄️
