Bergenhus Fortress

It’s beside the Thon Hotel where we holed up, so it would be remiss of us not to visit the place. We did not enter in the museum nor the tower, but we managed to walk around the grounds which are pretty expansive. Unfortunately, as it was raining, it was not very pleasant to explore the grounds. Nonetheless, it is an interesting fortress.

Famous fortress of Bergen. Famous tourist attraction here. Nice place to take lot of pictures here. Also have good water view from here where you can see lot of shops

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.

The fortress is located next to the harbour, spread over quite a bit of land, it is very walkable, and a must see for history buffs, allow at least an hour .

The ancient fortress in Bergen locates near to Bryggen and adjacent to port. It has a small park to spend your time with family.

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.

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.

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.
