Getting around Bergen: Central Bergen is
small enough to be very walkable, but hilly enough that some visitors will want to use its
buses or use their rental cars. Visitors can tour parts of the region by rail, bus, and
boat, but because scheduled services are relatively infrequent these are best for specific
sightseeing trips only—like the famous "Norway in a Nutshell" day tour.
Otherwise, use of a rental car permits far greater flexibility and independence for
touring the wondrous mountains and fjordlands surrounding Bergen—especially for
those wanting to stop and enjoy the scenery, and explore small, out-of-the-way places.
WINDOW-SHOPPING FOR NORWEGIAN CRAFTS IS
EASILY DONE IN VERY WALKABLE BERGEN
