Settle into a comfortable open-top bus and roam the city at your own pace, ticking through its highlights and getting on and off at any of the 13 stops.

Norway’s second-largest city, Bergen has roots extending back to the 11th century and boasts a wealth of historical and cultural highlights, all topped with stunning mountain scenery. Whether you’re short on time or not, taking this City Sightseeing hop-on hop-off bus tour is one of the easiest ways to get under the skin of this lovely city.
Hop aboard and admire all the must-sees, including St Mary's Church, (the oldest building in Bergen), The National Stage theater (Den Nasjonale Scene), Frederiksberg Fortress and the Bergen Museum, home to one of Norway’s largest collections of cultural and natural history exhibits.
Hop off, too, at the world-famous Fish Market (Fisketorget) to browse its colorful fish, fresh food and flower stalls. Then, perhaps stroll to the funicular station and ride the Fløibanen funicular up Mt Fløyen (own expense), one of the seven mountains that ring the city, to enjoy breathtaking over its rooftops and islands.
Other attractions include the Edvard Grieg Museum that chronicles the life of Bergen's famous composer son, and the UNESCO World Heritage-listed district of Bryggen, where a row of colorful wooden houses recall the city's role as part of the Hanseatic League from the 14th to the mid-16th century.
As you travel, catch up with the places you pass and Bergen’s history and culture with the informative, onboard audio commentary.
With your ticket, you can remain on the bus for an entire loop (roughly 45 minutes) while listening to the entertaining audio commentary, or hop on and off at any of the 13 stops around the city, all within a full 24-hour period.
This tour was an excellent choice to see the city of Bergen prior to making a choice where to spend more time depending on my interest. The bus was very clean as well as the city of Bergen. I actually had one of Bergen hot dogs, which is so different from hot dogs sold in the US. Recommendation - be sure to exchange some US money for some Krones before had. You can check the exchange rate on line from various companies.

We took this hop-on hop-off tour on our last day in Bergen. Our plan was to see anything we had not been able to do. The tour was a taped audio tour on a traditional tourist bus. However, the audio and the actual places we were at did not go together. At one point, out driver stopped in a parking lot and waited for 10 minutes. We were never sure of what we were waiting for. I would not recommend this tour. Just walk around Bergen and you will see and learn more.

Great way to get an overview of Bergen!

Went round twice, then hopped off to go on the vehicular railway for spectacular views of the city.

This is a standard hop on hop off tour like those available in many cities. It picks you up at the cruise dock and takes you around the city. Bergen is a great city with many things to see but it is easily walkable and you don't need the bus to do it.

Excellent way to see the city.
Review by: Mrs. .J.A. W, August 2017
I think this would have to have been one of my favourite cities on the cruise. Having a cloudless day made it even more enjoyable.There was so much to see and enjoy I didn't know which side of the bus to look at. We did alight at Mt.Floyen and joined the queue to go up in the top. It was amazing how quickly you managed to get to the front of the queue. The view from Mr. Floyen was well worth it and we then decided to walk down the mountain. This zigzagged down the side and did take longer than we had anticipated but was well worth it. Not sure about attempting to climb up that way though.

This is the best way to get around the city...find places you want to spend time visiting and then getting there. We would definitely book the Bergen Hop-On Hop-Off tour again. Easy to convert the voucher to tickets. The overall narration on the bus was good. Weather was less than perfect but we remained dry and comfortable on the coach.

Best way to get an overall feeling of Bergen. After getting on at the cruise terminal we took the bus to the fish market, got off walked around then boarded another bus. This time completing the full tour. commentary was very good.

Review by: Larry K, July 2017
Considering the size of the city, the tour was boring! Not many 13 Hop on, Hop off stops . Two stops were duplicate. Only 2-3 stops were worth the tour. Save money and only do the Floibahnen, Fishmarkt and the oldest church. _br/_ However, one of the stops is at the Cruise terminal.
Review by: Jeffrey M, June 2017
Booked the tour for our arrival on our cruise, there was agents who were issuing tickets for the tour, however, once they took the payments there was no interest in assistance after this. There was no queue facility or organization for the people who had purchased the tour, which resulted in tempers flaring and people jumping the queue in the rain.
Review by: Richard H, June 2017
The bus was at the cruise ship terminal as promised. The bus driver was outstanding. Getting on and off was very easy. It was a wonderful experience.

Too expensive for a small place like this.
Review by: Warren F, October 2016
It was a beautiful day. We did not have any problems hopping on and off despite there being so many people. We really enjoyed the funicular.

Great tour
Review by: Frances C S, September 2016
I'd been in Bergen before, so I just wanted an overview of the city. This was perfect! I'll do it again the next time I'm in Bergen

Loved it!
Review by: Virginia S. G, September 2016
The guide on the bus was very informative. He knew a lot about Bergen. We enjoyed the tour.
Review by: Karen R L, August 2016
You won't find a better way to see a city than the hop on - hop off bus. Easy and economical way to go around. You will find the stops are conveniently located near places of interest. We used these buses in many of the cities we visited on our 9 country cruise.
Review by: Robert P, August 2016
enjoyed!
Review by: Susan B, August 2016
Loved the hop-on-hop-off bus in Bergen. We had been to Bergen before but this time we were able to see much more and learn more about Bergen. Highly recommend this type of transportation to see Bergen. Thank you.
Review by: Ann C, July 2016
A great way to see Bergen with lots of interesting information. I did the full tour first as it was raining and then got off at the places that I had decided I wanted to see and some that I hadn't fancied but was intrigued by the information given on the tour
Review by: Bonnie S, July 2016
Spent much time catching up with missed bus. Had to pay for Floibanen funicular in Bergen, Norway because we weren't told that we needed special passes from driver. Had to pay for funicular ride 20 because we were standing in pouring rain when we discovered the problem and next bus was 1/2 hour wait!
Review by: Elise B, July 2016
The hop on hop off bus is usually a good idea for exploring a new city. However, the sites in Bergen were so close together, there was no need for this bus. We got on, got off a few minutes later, after passing through the first several stops and could almost SEE all the sights from one spot._br/_ Don't waste your money, unless you really hate to walk!
Review by: Zane A, July 2016
Great way to get oriented to the city, to figure out where to go back, etc.
Review by: Margaret Ann C, July 2016
A good way to get an overview of the city. The stop at the cruise ship dock is most convenient.
Review by: Colin B, June 2016
We were able to get an overview of lovely city and could therefore make the most of our visit
Review by: Anne N, June 2016
The best part was that we could get off the ship and get on the HOHO with no delay. We rode around once completely to get the info and then a second time as HOHO. They hit all the hot spots. Purchasers are reminded that they MUST print out the voucher as we saw several people having to repurchase as they did not have the printed voucher.
Review by: Francisco G, May 2016
In this tour we visit the most important places in Bergen and is not expense.
Review by: Carol S, October 2015
It was a good and informative tour of Bergen and easy to find when we got off the ship.
Review by: Kathleen R, September 2015
Beautiful city but realized we could have walked around but the bus did give us an overview. It did break down and we had to change buses which took some time and we lost I great seats
Review by: Marlene G, September 2015
The tour is an easy way to see the sights in Bergen including the use of the funicular cost is extra. Amazing views and scenery. Lots of time to stroll around the downtown area once you are finished the tour.
