This famous, steep "railway" will get you to the top of Fløyen in an instant. I recommend walking back down, a 30-40minute walk in mother nature, and you are back down to our apartment or to the city.

For great tapas, Escalón is Bergen's favourite destination. I recommend simply asking the waiter for the chef's top picks, and wait for the magic to unfold.

Incredibly cosy describes this small book-café well. Every cake you get here is hand-made, the coffee tastes great and the chess boards usually have all the pieces intact. A rainy day favourite!
