Going up to the Floyen Mountain hiking or in the funicular is an amazing experience that I surely recommend to everybody. The view there is amazing, and if you hike, the nature is amazing and definitely worth it! The funicular trip does not take more than 5-6 min but it worth it as you can see all the city in... more

If you take the funicular up Mt. Floyen, please be advised: get there as early as possible. The first funicular leaves around 9:15 am. We were fortunate enough to catch that one. Once you get up there, you're rewarded with sweeping views of Bergen and the surrounding area. But once we took the funicular back down to Bergen, we were... more

Travelled on the Floibanen in July 2007 during our Norwegian and Icelandic cruise and the publicity is right - the Floibanen Funicular is Bergen's best attraction. Yes you do have to queue London Underground style at the lower station and yes it is a bit like being in a crowded tube train (the lower station is in tunnel), but once... more

We found that an early visit to the funicular was the best tip, especially if their are cruise ships in the harbour. We went up at 9am, and spent a couple of hours walking and viewing, it was fabulous, so peacefull when away from the crowds. The view is wonderful. However on our return, at the bottom of the funicular... more

I went walking up this mountain with my friend and we took about 2 hours to reach the top of the mountain. We were walking slowly and taking some breaks on the way just to have some rest and took some photos. The view on the way was so beautiful and I felt fresh from the woods. I really love... more

If you want to see some awesome views of Bergen harbor, you have to ride the funicular (we'd called it an incline train in the U.S.) to the top of Mount Floyen. From Mount Floyen, you can see all over Bergen harbor and Bergen itself. The views are awesome. This is definitely one thing worth doing in Bergen. more

Mount Floyen is best accessed from the lower station a few short blocks from historic Bryggen by the docks. From here a funicular regularly runs to the top of the mountain. For the best view on the funicular sit at the bottom or lower end. Windows are everywhere meaning you will have an uninterrupted view as you ascend. The view... more

Went up the funicular, view over the harbour was good, but we also went up Mount Ulriken in the cable cars - the latter was a much more exciting experience - the mountain was much higher and we found ourselves up to knee deep in snow in March!! The view over the fjords was breathtaking! Give the funicular a miss... more
