Looking for a unique walking tour in Bergen that takes you away from the busy crowded areas of Bryggen and the fish market? Discover one of the best-kept secrets in the city with this walking tour of the Nordnes peninsula.
Nordnes is a 1km (0.6 mile) long peninsula that stretches into Bergen harbour. While the Hanseatic League were dominating trade on Bryggen, Nordnes is where the Norwegian merchants developed their businesses. But Nordnes was also the centre of power in Bergen, and it was the city’s courthouse and execution site for hundreds of years. It's also where witches were burned in the 16th and 17th centuries. In the 19th century, it became a hub of sailors and red-light district, with the narrow, dark alleys the perfect place to hide undercover activity. Today it is a popular (and expensive) neighbourhood with families, schools, and beautiful parks.
We limit the group size as this tour is through a residential neighbourhood. You ask as many questions as you want!

Thanks to our guide Janine.
She made the city come alive, improved our history and highlighted the importance of Bergen through the ages.
Took us to places off the beaten track, yet only 10 minutes walk from the centre. Advised of other things to see and restaurants/cafes to go to.
Thoroughly enjoyed this tour by a lovely Australian lady who has obviously taken Norway to her heart.

The guides were very knowledgeable and personable. Were very welcoming and pointed out great spots for both the history of Bergen, the neighborhood, and plenty of photo opportunities. Definitely a great tour and would recommend to all visiting Bergen. Our guides were Janine and Magda and both excellent!
