went here in the beginning of summer. It was a charming place. Cobbled streets, tiny wooden houses, very neat and fun. I thought it was better if we can go into the houses, but oh well. If you went in the summer, there is an ocean swimming area at the entry. More

Steep cobbled streets, densely packed wooden houses recreated from since 18th century. While labelled a museum, it is an open air attraction of revived long-ago norwegian private homes to cafes and shops in an idyllic locale.

Old Bergen is a reconstructed town with approx. 50 wooden houses from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. It is called a museum but in actual fact it feels nothing like a museum. It is a wonderfully magical and hidden part of Bergen tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Had we not visited with a family... More

This is a nice relaxing view into old Bergen. It is a pleasant stroll. Pretty compact. And if you time it right there may be some folk perfomers of various sorts present during you visit. More

For anyone interested in how people used to live this is worth a visit. There are around 40 old buildings which have been taken apart, transported to the site and rebuilt there. It is free to wander around the site. The only criticism is that you can only go into the buildings on a guided tour and while the guide... More
