This is the most beautiful area of Norway! Make sure at least that you drive slowly over the bridge. You can also WALK over the bridge. There is a toll/cost to go over it. Please take a few days to explore the area. Wonderful frukt growing area: cherries, plums, apples. Google the Word: HARDANGER and find out more!

take the time to park on the south side and walk over the bridge. The pedestrian tunnels are lit up like rainbows! The views are amazing . We walked out the other side and down to a small jetty. On the bridge you could feel it moving if a large lorry went over. Amazing work and the underground roundabout is weird!

As a British bridge Engineer, I have been following the construction of the Hardanger Bridge with great interest and looked forward to seeing it at close quarters.
The first question in my mind was "Is the bridge sympathetic to its surroundings?" Answer - Yes, both from distant views and close up, where the mountains dwarf the towers. Second question "Is it possible to gain access on foot to view the bridge close-up?" Answer - Yes, take the path down from the car park on the east side at Bu, and continue on the cycle way over the east bridge approach into a spiral tunnel. You can then walk (or cycle) onto the bridge, separated from the traffic, and enjoy spectacular views not only of the bridge but also of Hardanger Fjord.
And I loved the colour detail on the sides of the deck. Be sure to drive onto the bridge from the Granvin / Uvik side. Wow!
At 150 NKr for a car to cross, some might think an expensive crossing, especially since most visitors will cross twice if coming from the Ulvik side, but don't forget it cost 2,300,000,000 NKr to build.
The longest span bridge in Norway and 30m longer than the Golden Gate bridge in San Francisco.
The only downside was that there in no information board.

We did a fabulous all day excursion from Eidfjord where our Viking cruise ship was docked. This is how Viking Cruises really creates memorable experiences for its passengers. With the 930 passenger ship docked in the tiny port of Eidfjord, we travel along the roadway back towards the suspension bridge that was built in 2013. You get a wonderful view of the fjord and the docked ship as you head towards the bridge. You stop off at a spot overlooking the bridge in order to have a photo opportunity, then back in the bus and you head into a tunnel with a roundabout to bring you out across the bridge and then back into another tunnel and the other roundabout. We then are on our way to our first waterfall - Skjervsfossen. I'm just glad that I was not doing the driving considering that you are going through a lot of long dark tunnels and then having to negotiate a roundabout in the dark. I hate roundabouts out in the daylight, never mind trying to negotiate one in a dark tunnel. This bridge and tunnel system is an amazing engineering wonder. If you are in this part of Norway, definitely travel across this suspension bridge. If you found this review helpful, please click on the button below.

A majestic bridge appears in an already majestic fjord, and gives the landscape a futuristic look
When you drive over the bridge you feel like you're in the movie "Lord of the rings". . Although you pay a good amount of money to drive over it, it's well worth it. Big shout out to all the workers that made this bridge, you have all made something spectacular.

I was on a bus tour and we went over the bridge. Our guide explained it cost over $80.00 for the bus to use the bridge because there was still the option of a ferry. Once the bridge has been paid for they will remove the ferry and the bridge will be toll free.

Tunnel to bridge to tunnel trip is amazingly memorable.
The towering mountains all around make a dramatic backdrop to this ride.

Crossed this bridge by road and then travelled underneath it by ferry - great to see it from both angles. Pretty impressive feat of engineering spanning the fjord.

What a great bridge. Ok, it's just A to B, but architecturally different and a nice visual as you progress along the National Routes

Best tip to get the full experience from this fantastic location and beautiful bridge is to arrive from the north, i.e: The Voss-side of the fjord. You come through a tunnel, straight onto the bridge through a high portal. It is spellbinding and baffling. After crossing the bridge you go through another tunnel spiraling back and upon exciting the tunnel you have the bridge in front of you. If you can manage arriving through the tunnel from the north without mentioning to your other fellow passengers what is about to happen (the bridge) you'll be sure to take their breath away.

is there any tour from bergen to hardanger bridge....i want to view hardanger fjords and hardanger bride in one day from bergen....on 27 dec

In the summer (usually June, July and August) you can take a regular bus from Bergen Bus Station to Nordheimsund. From there you can take a boat that makes many stops within the Hardanger Fjord. If you go to the last stop called Eidfjord you will to go under the bridge to get there. Make sure you check the time tables. You do not want to get stuck somewhere. Hotels are about or a little under 2000 crowns per night. Cheaper to go to a guest house or rent cabins or camp. Book in advance. The Norway in a Nutshell tour mentioned above is a good choice as well. There you would have everything planned for you and you can also book a hotel through them as well if you would like to stay more than one day. Driving given you the most freedom. The roads are a challenge to drive.
