Nordnes: The Hidden Gem of Bergen Walking Tour in Bergen

Bergen , Western Norway

★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ (36 reviews)
Free Cancellation

From $ 32.53

Duration: 2 hours (approx.)

Looking for a unique walking tour in Bergen that takes you away from the busy crowded areas of Bryggen and the fish market? Discover one of the best-kept secrets in the city with this walking tour of the Nordnes peninsula. Nordnes is a 1km (0.6 mile) long peninsula that stretches into Bergen harbour. While the Hanseatic League were dominating trade on Bryggen, Nordnes is where the Norwegian merchants developed their businesses. But Nordnes was also the centre of power in Bergen, and it was the city’s courthouse and execution site for hundreds of years. It's also where witches were burned in the 16th and 17th centuries. In the 19th century, it became a hub of sailors and red-light district, with the narrow, dark alleys the perfect place to hide undercover activity. Today it is a popular (and expensive) neighbourhood with families, schools, and beautiful parks. We limit the group size as this tour is through a residential neighbourhood. You ask as many questions as you want!
