About Bergen for Solo Travelers
The gateway to Norway's fjords — a rainbow of wooden Hanseatic warehouses, seven surrounding mountains, and boats departing daily into the most dramatic fjord scenery in the world.
Solo Travel Tips· Solo Friendly
Bergen is Norway's fjord gateway and one of its most beautiful and solo-friendly cities — the Bryggen wharf (UNESCO), the Fløibanen funicular, and the fish market are all excellent solo stops. The seven mountains surrounding the city are perfect solo hikes (Ulriken cable car for those who want the view without the climb). All the fjord cruise departures group solo travelers together. Expect rain; pack accordingly.

Flåm and Nærøyfjord Day Trip
Nature
The most spectacular day trip in Europe — the Norway in a Nutshell route from Bergen takes you on the Flåm Railway (one of the world's steepest), through the UNESCO Nærøyfjord (the narrowest fjord in the world), and back. Every fjord view eclipses the last; the waterfall at Kjosfossen is otherworldly.

Fløibanen Funicular
Nature
Bergen's most-loved attraction — a funicular railway running from the city center to the summit of Mount Fløyen (320m) in eight minutes. The panoramic view over Bergen's seven mountains, the fjords, and the city's red-tile rooftops is the definitive Bergen experience. Walks from the top into the pine forest are excellent.
