Discover the secrets of Nordnes

Visiting the Nordnes peninsula allows you to see some of the most beautiful places in Bergen, as well as hear stories you won’t hear on a regular walking tour! Learn about witches, crime and secrets.

Nordnes is one of Bergen’s best-preserved historic neighborhoods and is a welcome escape from the busy, crowded areas.

You’ll walk with your local guide down a long peninsula (1 kilometer/0.6 miles) in Bergen Harbor as you learn about the area’s fascinating history.

On one side, wealthy merchants built homes along the waterfront. On the other side was a working-class sailor’s district. At the end of the peninsula, you’ll encounter Bergen’s oldest execution site and courthouse.

This hidden place in the city center is a must for anyone wanting a tour beyond Bergen’s popular tourist attractions.
