How to Get Here?
 Bergen is easy to get to, from the rest of Norway and from abroad. Thanks to direct flights from Copenhagen, Stockholm, Helsinki, Amsterdam and London, you only need to change planes once to reach Bergen from most far-away destinations. Low fare airlines also operate direct flights to Bergen from international airports (Paris, Rome, Hamburg, Newcastle, Prague, London and more).
You can also take direct sea routes from Denmark as well as from the Faeroe Islands, Iceland and Shetland.
