You can do an easy hike about 40 mins afterwards across Mount Floyen and then take then trolley down (I don't think most people go back down the steps). Definitely worth it!

There's several ways you can hike to the top, but my favorite and the most famous way are the 800+ steps. There's even a race every Fall to see who can run them up the fastest. Crazy if you ask me, but I guess Im only jealous!

After the horrible fire of 1855 the city of Bergen was redesigned to resist the spread of massive fires and so the park was conceived as sort of a fire break. It was opened in 1865 and expanded and changed over the decades. The park today is very pleasant, lots of trees and flowers and Lille Lungegardsvannet to walk around. And of course all kinds of weird sculptures, statues and cool things that the Norwegians seem so fond of. The park is well used, when we were there we saw hoards of schoo kids running through the park doing various fun things as well as older people walking around and tourists just taking it all in. A lovely, scenic and very useful and appreciated park. I doubt if there will be any more fires like the horrific one in 1855 and the park today is used and enjoyed by the people of Bergen as well as visitors from other countries

We were even lucky enough to see some of the crabs get fed. There aren't too many fish tanks and most of the tanks are on the small side. They have some interactive elements, including a 360 cinema room that demonstrated the sounds heard within the oceans. Probably good for a 1.5 to 2 hour long visit!

There was a very friendly sea lion, and another one that had a shifty eye. It made our day. We just walk from our hotel. From the Bryggen is about 20-30 minutes walk depending if you get a little lost. But I guess is part of the experience.

It is a little bit of a hassle to get to if you don't have a car and are staying in Bergen, but there is an express bus or you can take the light rail closeby and walk to the entrance. We took the light rail there and express bus back (bus was definitely more efficient and door to door from central Bergen). There is some food at the top, but not a big restaurant. All and all if you like mountain views and/or hiking, this is worth a trip. We saw many take the gondola up one-way and then hike down.

First, I must say that I have been at the Itrain center at Danmarksplass the most. But I have…read moreoccationaly popped by the center in Olav Kyrres gate. The good thing about Itrain is that they have a card solution were you can work out whenever it suits you. They don't have opening hours that restricts you from working out whenever it appels you the most. And you can work out at both centers - both the one at Danmarksplass and the one at Olav Kyrres gate. They also have a very affordable price, compared to the other fitness centers in Bergen with a different range of memberships. The centers are not that big. They have an ok range of fitness gears and machines, and you can all together get a functionable workout. The centers tend to get a bit crowded in the afternoon and evening, which is not very unusual in Bergen. If you want to work out alone or with only a few people around you, I would reccomand you to do your workout in the morningtime.
