Hotels near Fløibanen Funicular

The Fløibanen funicular climbs from the city centre to Mount Fløyen, 320 metres above sea level, in around six minutes. From the top, visitors enjoy panoramic views over Bergen, the harbour, the fjords and the surrounding mountains, and the city lights are spectacular after dark.

In winter, Fløyen often has snow, and its forest trails and lakes make it a popular spot for winter walks. A café and restaurant at the top offer a warm place to stop.

The funicular runs frequently throughout the day and evening, and tickets can be bought online. It is a short walk from the Bergen Christmas market and the harbour.

Pro Tip: Take the funicular up just before sunset, which is around 3.40pm in mid-December, to see the city in daylight and then watch the lights come on below.
