Bergen City Center Walk with a Guide
Main content
Join us in the guided city tour of the small middle aged town right in the center of Bergen City Center.
We wish to invite you to a guided tour of Bergen City Centre from Marken to the fish Market. This is basically a city walk that will make you not only have a glimpse of the city center but get to know a bit about a few places in their current state and before. The walk will last approximately 2 hours including a cup of coffee/tea before we disperse. Among the places we will see are the Library, Marken, the Leprosy Museum, the Bergen School Museum, and the Fish market.
In the ancient Marken most inhabitants, both adults and children, were engaged in various ways in the battalion. This knitted people and generations together. The Leprosy Museum (St. George's Hospital) is one of the oldest foundation and one of Scandinavia's oldest hospital institutions. Between 1850 and 1900 Bergen was an international leprosy city, with three leprosy hospitals and the largest concentration of patients in Europe.
The history of the Bergen School Museum is as varied as the values and ideologies that have dominated society at different times. This is a story of an exciting journey through the Norwegian school to the Norwegian society today from the Middle Ages. These and many more insights about the city of Bergen we will hear from the guide.
We will meet at Fest Plassen (the Festival Square), see in the picture, at 17:45 hours. This is an open space in the city center, located closer to the north end with a small lake of water and a fountain in the middle. The place is also used for many different events.
All costs will be covered by the Service center for International Mobility (SIM), except for the bus ticket to and from the city center. Remember to dress according to the weather!
