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

"A short trip outside the city took me to this open-air museum of 55 relocated wooden houses from the 18th century where actors roam cobblestone streets to recreate life in Bergen during the 1800s; because the buildings were rescued historic structures (not replicas) the place feels authentic, and the surrounding English park offers a picturesque retreat—Elsesro, Nyhavnsveien 4." - Matthew Kepnes

It is very peaceful and fun to explore. It seems very big but you can walk to everywhere within an hour. Entrance is free, might be difficult to park if you are with a car. I think it has better views than the centre of Bergen. You can see the colourful houses here with less crowd.

What an awesome concept for a museum and a great way to preserve these historic buildings! We had no idea what to expect from this museum but were pleasantly surprised by the cute little skits performed by actors, who were also quite knowledgeable about the houses and businesses they occupied. We spoke to the tax collector's wife about the Delft plates and other lovely pieces in their kitchen, and she knew why the pieces were there, how they were used, and so on. The employees here are doing edutainment right! We really enjoyed the silversmith shop as well and spoke to two jewelry makers who were just as pleasant as could be, plus their exquisite jewelry was reasonably priced! Everything about this museum is worth visiting, and the skillingsboller are worth a try.

It was a nice experience until to tried to go around the school and see the other part of the village. Someone let his big dog out and really scared us. I did not say it was private property and when we complained, they said to us that advise the people to go back around the school. I would that they fence or say private property...

It’s a must if you’re visiting Bergen. Beautiful renovation, artists performing were very nice also.

Was really nice to walk around even though you couldn’t go inside any of the buildings in February. Was really easy to get to by bus. Had really nice views of the sea and was absolutely beautiful!

Nice place, a lovely park to walk and view to the bay. A ticket is only needed if you want to visit the old houses, which are lovely too with decorations from the old times. The recreational actors act/talk like the old times, which completes the whole atmosphere and makes you feel like you travelled in time.

Nice open air museum showcasing traditional old buildings that have been relocated to this area. Beautiful architecture and actors who portray people from the time period. Easy bus (several bus numbers) ride from central Bergen, however when returning to Bergen you must flag/wave for the bus to stop.

This was such an amazing experience! The place is beautiful, the history is rich, and the actors were fabulous! Not only can you go into almost rvery house there is some there are actors just going about theri business and they will tell you how was it living there 200 years ago. I was feeling unsure at first about it, I'm not very social, but once I went into the first house I was mesmerized! Also every hour or so, the actors will gather at the center square of the city and perform a short scene, that was just a cherry on top! From what we saw, you can even get married in the church there. I cannot recommend this place enough! I will visit it again, no questions asked. Sending a lot of love from Poland ❤️
