Did an excursion boat up the fjord through an independent vendor. Excellent. Very comfortable, narration good and adequate stops for photos. Also did self-guided walk of Fortress military museum, fish market and Bryggen. Loved it. Read Less

We took the funicular up to Mount Floyen. Spectacular views with goats grazing on the hillside. Should not be missed. Also did the HOHO bus. Bergen is a lovely city. Read Less

Took the tram. Very pretty. Nice town.No need to go back. Read Less

rented a car, though the rental place is several miles from the port - used the tram to get there. Read Less

Worth the funicular queue and trip up Read Less

Loved this city especially funicular. Read Less

We actually went to to Haugesund which is between Stavanger and Bergen, but cruisecritic don’t have it on their list. This was a brilliant experience. It was Norwegian national day. The entire population was out in the streets and squares in their national dress. They were friendly and very keen to explain all about their national day, their customs and traditions. The school children all meet in the town square and free parading they go to school to play Norwegian games and eat ‘sausages and bacon’ a lady told me. There are numerous bars, restaurants and cafes along the waterside, but be aware, some only take card payment and are cash free. We really enjoyed walking around this town with the buzzing atmosphere of the festival - not sure what it would be like on a normal day. Although you dock quite close to town and there is a shuttle bus, it stops at the start of a bridge that you have to walk over to get into town. It is quite steep. Read Less

Beautiful sunshine and we took a trip up the railway and went for a hike. Easy port to get around. Read Less

Bergen: easily toured on our own, can walk to the funicular for the trip up the mountain to enjoy the view. Read Less

Windy, but had a trip around the old town, the wooden buildings are amazing. Again will go back to stay for a few days to really explore the place. Spent a lot in the shops, really lovely thing to buy. Read Less

Arrived on an exceptional sunny day for Norwegian standards. City was very nice and easy to walk round Read Less

Did our own thing, very walkable. Get to the funicular railway up to Fløibanen early as queues really build. Make sure you walk to the lake once up there too as it’s very pretty. Had a lovely seafood lunch at the seafood market. Read Less

great fish market, ate whale meat.. so much to try. Read Less

Just wandered around the small town and up to the waterfall. Read Less

Bergen is a great place to explore would suggest 1-2 nights prior to cruise Read Less

Only stopped in Bergen for embarking and disembarking. It was however raining heavily so maybe not the best for walking around. Read Less

The excursions were absolutely extortionately priced. Read Less

And of the cruise. Stayed in a hotel for one night. Nice city to walk aroud in. Had some rain but also nice weather. Read Less

Should have added a day to the trip so that we could explore Bergen. A wonderful Heritage site, funicular railway to a viewing platform is a must. Cable car as well further out of the centre. Read Less

Bryggen not as pretty as expected. The funicular railway was good, but as it was pouring with rain and blowing a hoolie, couldn't really go for a walk on the top. One of the dirtiest towns we had been to in Norway. Read Less

This is where we embarked, would recommend coming a day earlier so you can see Bergen, we didn't get chance as we arrived and went straight onboard. Read Less
