One of the oldest and best-preserved fortresses in Norway, located at the entrance to the harbor in Bergen. The fortress dates back to the 13th century and has played a significant role in Norway's military history. Key structures within the fortress include the medieval Haakon's Hall (Håkonshallen) and the Rosenkrantz Tower (Rosenkrantztårnet), both of which are notable for their historical and architectural significance. Haakon's Hall, built during the reign of King Haakon IV, served as a royal residence and banquet hall. Rosenkrantz Tower, constructed in the 16th century, was both a defensive structure and a residence for the governor of Bergen. Today, Bergenhus Fortress is a popular tourist attraction, offering visitors a glimpse into Norway's medieval past and stunning views of the harbor and surrounding areas. Entrance to the fortress grounds is free, allowing visitors to explore the exterior and enjoy the scenic views. However, there is an admission fee to enter Haakon's Hall and Rosenkrantz Tower. The prices are approximately NOK 100 for adults and NOK 50 for children, students, and seniors. Group discounts may be available. The fortress is open year-round, but the opening hours for the buildings vary by season, so it's recommended to check the official website or contact the venue for the most current information on pricing and hours.

Close small shops and a department store in port. Souvenir and clothes,beer, coffee shops. Ferris Wheel and park. Many busses.R.R. In Starbucks, McDonald's. Place for fish. Clean. 40 mile from town of DALE, and Dale factory of exclusive knitted ware. Coat,sweaters, shawls, hats,Olimpic sweaters. See automation of the 5 pieces in action. Very clean and many spools of colors and design. Also you can decide to go for a farm tour. This was my best ever because DALE tour has 40 to 70 percent off rooms of their superior products. To get tax free for tourist must turn in your receipt. M.N

A most fantastically beautiful, important and interesting historical heritage site. Lovely to visiting,on a nice day in spring and summer. Although this is one of the most ancient fortresses you can still visit today in 2023, it's still vibrant with young people, especially during the annual cultural week in June. Attracting visitors / audiences from really far away. Do pay a visit to these amazing historical heritage buildings and the nice, very well kept,greenest of parks surrounding it:)

There is not much to see from the fortress yard, so it is worth while to buy the fortress entry ticket (120 kr for an adult). The fortress which was heavily damaged and restored in the 1960s, is not exactly beautiful, and the interiors are as austere as the exterior. It does create a certain impression. The staff are very nice and helpful. The best time to visit seems to be just after 10 am, as starting from 11 there seems to be a lot more visitors.
