Nobody should miss a look at the town and the surrounding fjords from the best vantage point of the city.
There are a number of trails to get to one of the several hills around,...
...but when time is an issue and you don't have much at your disposal,...
...it always comes in handy a vertical means of transportation.
- The one thing you should do in Bergen, is going to the top, to see the view on Bergen, and it's...
...you're taking a funicular, Floibanen, the ticket I just took, and going up.
The most accessible mountain top is Floyen, reachable by funicular since 1918.
- Hmm, this funicular is Scandinavia's only one cable railway, and one of Norway's most popular attractions.
The trains depart every 30 minutes from the opening until 10 o'clock, and then every 15 minutes until 8.30 PM...
...and it takes barely 4 minutes to reach the top if there are not intermediate stops.
- It's so big Bergen... OK, we just, already came to this place.
As a difference with other tourist attractions, the top of Floyen mountain is fairly popular among locals,...
...who find in the park at the summit a peace they can not enjoy in the sometimes busy streets.
- It's nice...
- I really like the colourful roofs of the houses in Bergen, which is famous for multicolours, this town...
- And the lake in the middle.
- I didn't expect it to be so huge, but it looks... Bergen and surroundings.
It is a preferred destination for celebrations like midsummer or to enjoy the sunset,...
...when you get to see the sun if there is good weather.
- Town Bergen means "the mountain", and they say the city was built in seven hills, or not built on, but among the hills.
- So, if you are curious, you can also count the hills surrounding Bergen, and this one is one of them.
- This Mount called Floy, around there is a very nice park and if it's sunny weather,...
...I recommend you to visit this territory, it's really nice.
