Five-Star Luxury in Bergen

Known for its majestic natural surroundings and abundance of outdoor activities, the relaxed city of Bergen is also home to a rich cultural life and a great shopping and dining scene – regardless of the season.

Book a five-star stay in Bergen and spend some time wandering the atmospheric streets and alleys around Bryggen, the old Hanseatic wharf best known for its colourful townhouses overlooking the harbour. Or visit the popular fish market, which these days sells as many handicrafts, flowers, textiles and handmade Sami and Siberian souvenirs as it does fish. Outside of Bergen city centre lie attractions such as Troldhaugen, or Trolls’ Hill, the Victorian summer villa of composer Edvard Grieg and now a museum dedicated to his life and work. And the romantic landscapes of the western fjords are never too far away.

Visit Bergen and Stay in a Luxury Hotel

Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or planning a once-in-a-lifetime holiday with family or friends, consider booking a luxury five-star hotel in Bergen for your trip. An outer city neighbourhood such as Hjellestad has a fantastic waterfront setting and a more peaceful vibe than Bergen city centre, and it also offers a ferry service to some of the islands in the Raunefjorden strait, such as Bjelkarøy and Lerøy.

Best Luxury Trips from Bergen

As the gateway to the western fjords, Bergen attracts a steady flow of visitors throughout the year, who either fly directly into its airport, arrive by cruise ship, or come via road or the excellent Norwegian public transport system. The train journey linking Oslo to Bergen is said to be one of the most beautiful on the planet, and a branch line off it – the Flåm Railway – is one of the world’s steepest, travelling through 20 tunnels in the space of an hour, past rushing waterfalls and rugged mountains.

A range of boat excursions also run from Bergen to popular destinations such as Hardangerfjord and Sogneford, making it easy to combine a five-star Bergen holiday with an exploration of the region’s best known natural attractions.
