View from Fløyen
The Fløibanen funicular in Bergen is one of Norway’s best-known attractions. Fløibanen can be found in the heart of Bergen, 150 m from Fisketorget – the fish market – and Bryggen wharf. It’s only a 10-minute walk to the lower station from where the cruise ships dock. The journey up to Fløyen (320 m above sea level) takes about 5–8 minutes.
The journey is an experience in itself, and at the top you can enjoy fantastic views of Bergen. Check out the view right now from our webcam of Bergen seen from Fløyen.
There are endless opportunities for walks on Fløyen, and you will also find Fløistuen Shop and Café for a quick bite and a coffee, Fløien Folkerestaurant open seasonally, and the best children’s playground in Bergen. The funicular runs daily, all year round, from early morning to late evening (check our departure times).
