The programme

We leave the ship behind us for a pleasant bike tour to discover the most evocative corners of the charming city of Bergen, the second largest in Norway yet characterised by a provincial atmosphere full of charm and character.
We set off and follow our guide around the streets of this coastal city flanked by lovely pastel-coloured houses as far as some of the main sights such as the Medieval cathedral and the futuristic Grieghallen, a concert hall that can seat over 1600 people.
We thus reach the picturesque port with its row of ancient wooden buildings of different colours. * Bryggen wharf was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is a testimony to the time when Bergen was at the centre of the trading routes between Norway and the rest of Europe.
A stone’s throw away we find the lively fish market, which has been supplying the locals since 1276. It is now one of the most visited open-air markets in Norway and also sells fresh fruit and vegetables in addition to handicrafts and souvenirs.
We then cross the peaceful Nordnes peninsula, with its picturesque white wooden houses, and admire the intriguing architecture of the Marken area. At each stop to take photos, the guide illustrates anecdotes on the history of this city nestled between fjords and the mountains.
We then make our way back to the ship after returning our bikes.
