Book a hotel in Bergen

Planning a trip to Bergen? From historic Bryggen houses to modern city-centre hotels, finding the right place to stay can make all the difference to your Norwegian adventure. eDreams has rounded up everything you need to know about accommodation in Bergen, helping you book with confidence.

Nestled between mountains and fjords, Bergen offers a captivating experience. Known as the gateway to the Norwegian fjords, it boasts a rich maritime history visible throughout its charming streets. Explore Bryggen, the UNESCO-listed wharf with its colourful wooden houses, or take the Fløibanen funicular up Mount Fløyen for panoramic views across the city and surrounding landscapes. The fish market is a lively spot to sample local delicacies, while the Edvard Grieg Museum at Troldhaugen provides insight into the life of Norway's most famous composer.

Whether you are looking for a comfortable guesthouse or a stylish city centre hotel, Bergen provides a range of options for your accommodation. Consider a stay near the waterfront for easy access to boat trips, or choose a spot closer to the bustling Torget square to soak up the local atmosphere. You will find plenty of choices to suit your plans, ensuring a memorable trip.

To ensure you are close to Bergen's main attractions, consider booking your hotel in the city centre or near Bryggen. This area offers the most convenient base for exploring.

The city centre is home to many hotels, from budget-friendly options to more luxurious stays. Here you will find easy access to the Fish Market, a lively hub for local produce and seafood, and the Fløibanen Funicular, which takes you up Mount Fløyen for panoramic views. The area also boasts cultural venues like the Bergen Art Museum and the Grieg Hall. A short walk away, Bryggen offers a unique historic experience. This UNESCO World Heritage site features charming wooden houses, some of which have been converted into boutique hotels. Staying here puts you right in the heart of Bergen's maritime history.

For a slightly quieter stay, consider areas further from the immediate hustle of Bryggen, such as Nøstet or Nordnes. Nøstet is a residential area close to the waterfront, offering a blend of traditional and modern accommodation, often with picturesque views. It is still within walking distance of the city centre. Nordnes is another residential peninsula, known for the Bergen Aquarium and its beautiful park, Nordnesparken. Accommodation here often includes guesthouses and self-catering apartments, providing a more local feel while remaining accessible to central attractions.

When choosing your hotel in Bergen, consider its proximity to transport links. The Bergen Light Rail (Bybanen) connects the city centre with many neighbourhoods and is useful for reaching attractions further afield. If you are arriving by air, Bergen is served by Bergen Airport Flesland. The Airport Bus provides regular connections directly to the city centre, making it simple to reach most hotels once you land.

Bergen offers diverse hotel options, but prices can vary. To secure cheaper accommodation, consider visiting outside the peak summer months of July and August. You’ll find better deals during the shoulder seasons of May, June, September, and October, when the weather is still pleasant but tourist numbers are lower. Another tip is to explore hotels slightly away from the Bryggen wharf area. While staying near the colourful UNESCO World Heritage site is convenient, you can often save money by choosing a hotel a short walk or light rail journey away, perhaps closer to the university district.

Booking your Bergen hotel and flight together as a package can also unlock significant savings. We often have exclusive deals on hotels, especially when combined with your flights, helping you manage your budget effectively.
