The 14 Best Things to Do in Bergen, Norway (Updated 2025)

"Next to the harbor the imposing Bergenhus Fortress dates back to the 1260s and includes Rosenkrantz Tower (16th century) and Haakon's Hall (13th century); although Haakon's Hall lost its interior decorations to a 1944 fire and is now furnished with tapestries and used for concerts and banquets, climbing the narrow stairs of Rosenkrantz Tower rewards you with an impressive view of the area—5003 Bergen." - Matthew Kepnes

Missed the opening hours, so I only got to walk around the grounds - but it was still worth it. The area is clean, well-maintained, and easy to explore. A nice and relaxing walk with plenty of history in the surroundings.

This historical site is a must-visit, even though it’s quite empty. However, it offers a glimpse into life in the past. There’s a tower you can climb to get a better view, and there are also well-maintained walking pathways. On a positive note, the restrooms are clean.

Nice fort with a link to history... It does only appear to have seen battle once though ?? Be mindful it does close early at 4 so make sure to get there in good time.its a short trip so can be done as part of a day filled with other visits.

A beautiful centuries old fortress that is today a place for ceremony, celebration, and events. It has some very nice gardens, church, and old cannons. A good visit near the cruise terminal.

The castle's history can be traced back to the first half of the 13th century, although foundations of buildings from around the 11th century have also been discovered. It was transformed into a fortress during the 16th century. The Rosenkrantz Tower and Haakon's Hall, which are among the oldest well-preserved structures within the fortress, bear a resemblance to certain medieval buildings found in the United Kingdom. Since I had limited time, I enjoyed admiring the structures only from the exterior.

Didn’t go inside this time, but the fortress looks magnificent from the outside. Beautiful architecture and very well preserved. Definitely planning to visit properly next time!

Beautiful fortress that is open to the public to wander the grounds with paid museums for the tower and church. Worth the visit, museums close kind of early at 4p.

This was a perfect way to spend an hour out of the rain. FREE admission. Start on the top (3rd) floor and watch for signs/numbers to guide you. Also a coat closet and clean toilets. Good information, well presented. Something for everyone to learn.
