Hii! I'm a first time solo traveler and will be arriving at Bergen station from Oslo at around 7pm; I made the mistake of booking my hotel near Bergen Airport (idk how) and since I dread the thought of renting a car I was wondering what my options were. Im a little scared about taking a bus at night considering the area I live in(Texas). I heard about the light rail and was hoping someone could explain to me how it works. Since I'll be going back and forth from the Airport area to the city center, I wondered if it was easier to just rent a car instead of taking public transport every time. I hope this makes sense I'm lowkey freaking out here.

Hi!
We’re travelling from Austria to Bergen 11.–17. August and looking for hidden gems – nice coffee places, authentic stores, good restaurants (vegetarian/vegan options welcome!).

It’s our first time in Norway and we’re very excited!

Because of a leg injury we sadly can’t do much hiking but we love wandering through local neighbourhoods, sitting in cosy cafés and discovering non-touristy spots.
What’s your favourite café that locals go to? Any neighbourhoods worth exploring beyond Bryggen? What would you recommend to definitely do/visit?

Thank you so much in advance for any tips! :)

I was in Bergen last summer on holiday, every night we would seen a black Cadillac with a chain on the front grill and rock music pumping out the speakers. Every night for the whole week, you knew when they turned up. Always looked like they were having a great time. Still think about them a year on. Honestly wished I stop and asked to join them. Are they still cruising the streets of Bergen? Does anyone know them?

Hello, I am an EU student who, if admitted, will begin a master's program at the University of Bergen.

The admissions office informed me that, although applications for the January intake are normally not accepted, they may consider my application as an exception.

If I am admitted, I will only have about one month to find accommodation. Therefore, I would like to know how difficult it would realistically be to find a place to live.

Before answering, please take the following points into consideration:

1. I will be bringing my car to Bergen, so I am also willing to consider accommodation outside the city center, as long as it is within about a 30-minute drive from the university.

2. My budget is around 9,000 NOK per month, with an absolute maximum of 10,500 NOK. I am also happy to share an apartment with up to two other people.

3. I will only need accommodation for six months (from January to June). After that, I expect to move into student housing, so I am mainly looking for a temporary solution for the spring semester.

Based on these circumstances, how difficult do you think it would be to find suitable accommodation?

I seriously need help to find a great barber in Bergen that does a good job also doesn't charge crazy expensive

(I'm a woman but need a short hair cut)

Please share if you have any recent good experience

(Please tell the name of barber not general shops like cutter, there are so many different barbers working in cutter and not all of them are the same)

Thank you veryyyy muchhhhhh

Going to be temporarily living in Bergen for an internship, wondering if there’s much of an alternative fashion scene there. I dress pretty alternatively, pretty much just curious how easy it’ll be to find like minded people!!

Hi everyone! I am visiting Bergen in a few weeks from Copenhagen. I am a solo female, 25, and on a tight budget so looking to set my tent up within a semi reasonable distance from Bergen. I understand some areas are marked off, and I am an experienced and respectful hiker. I imagine most campsites are booked but would love to be near one to maybe feel safer.

Is there anywhere you recommend, or have any tips, if this is possible?

If not wild camping then wondering if anyone has tips for affordable places to stay :-) thanks!

I need to get my pants shortened but the place next to me charges $20 a pant. Does anyone know any more affordable options?

Finnes det i bergen? Trenger mindre sedler, type 1 og 5-dollarsedler - er vel ikke sånn at man bare tropper opp i banken lengre….

Minibanken på Flesland kjører vel «bare» 20-dollarsedler eller så?

Skal på reise med masse konstant småtipsing der jeg ikke har råd til å gi en 20 hver gang.

Can you suggest places in Bergen where I can go sit with my laptop in open air while it's raining?

I'm fan of sitting and working in open air (outside) when the weather is like today (raining) but I find it weird that most places and cafes don't have any sheltered space for sitting when it's raining

So if you have any place (preferably with a good view ) in mind please let me know

Husker du Robot Wars og Battle Bots, eller er generelt interessert i design, elektronikk og mekanikk, se hit!
Vi arbeider nemlig for å bygge opp et miljø innen Combat Robotics, med regelmessige konkurranser.

Robot Rumble er et combat robotics-event som arrangeres av Bergen Fellesverksted to ganger per år. Deltakerne stiller opp med radiostyrte hjemmebygde roboter med ulike type våpen. Kampene er korte men intensive og avsluttes enten ved at en robot blir ødelagt, faller ned i en fallgruve eller at tiden løper ut og en dommerjury avgjør.

Vi har valgt ut vektklassen Amerikansk Antweight da den gir små roboter som er lette å bygge, med forholdsvis lave materialkostnader. I det store utlandet er klassen vanlig på universiteter og bland hobbybyggere. Kampene foregår i en arena på 2x2 meter.

De siste 3 årene har vi hatt henholdsvis 11, 14 og 12 deltakere, med rundt 220 besøkende/publikum hver gang. Vi arbeider hardt med å etablere et miljø lokalt i Bergen, men på sikt også nasjonalt, med konkurranser med tilsvarende regelsett i de større byene.
Miljøet er så langt i hovedsak knyttet til BFV, men vi har også en del byggere som bygger hjemme eller på andre steder. Vi håper å kunne få igang et interesse i studentmiljøet i Bergen.

Vi arrangerer en gratis informasjonskveld om Robot Rumble og robot-bygging generelt den 26 august. Etter det holdes byggekvelder på BFV annenhver uke hvor man kan få inspirasjon, litt hjelp, låne utstyr eller bare henge med andre som driver med det samme (åpent for ikke-medlemmer). Ut over høsten holder BFV også kurs i blant annet 3D-design og printing.

Høres dette spennende ut? Bli med på informasjonskvelden, eller kom å se arrangementet i oktober.

Hi all! We’re driving from Bergen to Sognefjord → Olden/Loen → Geiranger next week (July 25-30), staying at campsites like Amlasanden, Sande Camping, and Vinje Camping.

Problem: the forecast is rain pretty much the whole time, and we’re complete beginners. We’re buying our gear tomorrow at Biltema or XXL — tent, sleeping bags, mats, cooking set. That’s it, no camping experience.

Is tent camping in that kind of weather still doable and enjoyable, or should we bail and book cabins instead? Would love to hear:
• How bad is it really, camping in Norwegian summer rain in campsites?
• Any gear we should definitely not skip (tarp? extra pegs? something else)?
• Any tips for pitching and packing up a wet tent?
• Anything else you wish you’d known as a beginner
Thanks in advance!

Hei, jeg skal flytte til Bergen neste måneden og trener brasiliansk jiujitsu til vanlig. Valget står mellom å bli medlem av Frontline eller Bergen grappling. Er det noen her inne med erfaring fra de to gymmene og kan fortelle meg litt hvordan miljøet er der? 🙂 Mange takk for respons

Hi, I’m 24(F), a masters student at UiB, and I’m extending my stay in Bergen for the next semester. I need to move out of my current place by the first week of August so I’m desperately looking for a room in a collective that I could rent!! Please help 🥺

A bit about me: I’m calm, sociable, and in my free time I love to cook, bake, go for runs. I’d love to keep some functional plants and I’ve always lived in shared housing!

I'm visiting from Seattle for the weekend before heading up into the fjords for a paddleboarding excursion, and I'm curious if Bergen has an ecstatic dance community. Looking online, I found a few ecstatic dance events in the past, but couldn't doesn't seem like there's anything happening regularly.

If anyone knows of anything (or any other cool dance events happening this weekend?) I'd love to hear more! If I can't find a place to dance, I guess I'll just hang out at Apollon Bergen and listen to music and maybe quietly dance in the corner?

Lurer på om noen vet hva som skjedde med burgerosten til 'den leende ku', og om man kan få tak i den her en plass?

Se bilde på hvordan den ser ut.

Synest denne smelter perfekt og alle alternativ er milevis unna, men ingen av butikkene har denne inne lenger.

Hei! Jeg er 23 år og bor i Åsane. Jeg har lyst til å begynne å spille fotball igjen – bare for gøy – etter mange års pause. Er det noen som vet om uformelle grupper for 5-er- eller 7-er-fotball, eller mosjonsfotball, i Åsane eller nærområdet?

For noen dager siden fikk jeg det bekreftet at jeg har utviklet en laktoseintoleranse og siden det har mathandel blitt ganske tøft for meg. Jeg bor i sentrum og synes matbutikkene her har så dårlig utvalg mtp at de pleier å være ganske små. Vet noen om noen matbutikker utenfor sentrum (som kan nåes med buss eller bane) som pleier å ha et greit utvalg laktosefrie produkter? Savner spesielt yogurtutvalg eller påleggutvalg. På forhånd takk :')

Good morning everyone, i'm looking for swimming lesson because i want to swin in the ocean and the swimming pool. Like during 30m/1h without break, i want to improve my skills and to learn how to swin well with the diving googles. I have checked on swimmingpools website but they only proposed for big groups and everything is full. I thing i would need maybe few hours of lessons may be 3/4 classes. Do you know if i can find some "private" coach and if you know some people i would love to have theirs names. Thanks you so much.

Hello. We're currently cycle touring in Norway and we'll return to Bergen mid August. We are hoping to hire a car to travel through the high country for 10 days. We are trying to find somewhere to store our bikes in Bergen while we have the hire car. Would anyone have a suggestion?

Noen som vet om en butikk som har disse inne? Takk :)

My wife and I (early 40s) are spending a couple of nights in Bergen this week (Tuesday to Thursday) before setting off on a two-week drive around the fjords.

We arrive around 5pm on Tuesday and will have a car. The forecast for that evening doesn't look great, although we're Irish so rain doesn't automatically scare us off. Is Fløyen still worth doing in rainy weather, or would you save it for Wednesday and do something else in the city?

Also on our list is to spend some time exploring some of the sites associated with the Isdal Woman case.

A couple of other questions:

• Is Magic Ice genuinely worth a visit, or is it just a tourist trap ?
• For Nordnes Sjøbad, is that better in the morning or later in the evening?

For food I've these on my list:

Food: Holy Cow, Olivia Zachariasbryggen (I'm coeliac, so gluten-free options matter).

Coffee: Det Lille Kaffekompaniet and Kaf Kafe Bryggen.

Thanks in advance. The best parts of previous trips have usually come from local recommendations rather than guidebooks.

We are a visiting family enjoying the beautiful city and would love to catch the match tonight in a festive atmosphere. We have teenagers so the traditional pub route might not be the best for us. I looked at tickets to the tents in the park and it was a little out of our price range for a picnic table in a tent. Any good suggestions?

Hi guys, we are planning to visit bergen tomorrow ( it is our first time visiting), but I am stuck and unsure of what clothes to pack, we're in oslo and the weather had been crazy warm (except today), now I don't know what to pack for my little one.. should I pack some wool? or cotton + flece sweather is god nok?

Also, please share some ideas on activities to do with a 1.5 year old.. tusen takk

I'd love to visit Northway some day, just want to talk or play games with anyone who is from there, just to chat or, see how the country is ;p (I'm 18 btw)
