If you were so inclined you could spend the entire day at the top of Mt Floyen! The initial view is breathtaking as others have mentioned, but there is so much more to see at the top. There's the cafe but the queue can get a bit long, so it's great they have various pop ups for a bar, ice cream and more. The walk to the lake is quite good for beginners and is another great view on arrival. Don't be misled by the queue at the bottom to buy tickets - ignore that and simply purchase your ticket online which is so much easier.

What a fun experience. The trip up and down does not take long but when you get up there it is beautiful. Even though it was a chilly cloudy day I loved it. The views were amazing and there were not too many people around. Lovely to see the goats and the adventure park and even braved sitting outside on the terrace for a beer. Only downside was the price 180nok for the few minute trip up and down

This turned out to be the best attraction in Bergen. It takes about 6 minutes to reach top in a beautiful Funicular ride. It was cloudy and cold when we reached the top which added to its charm. The view from top of Bergen and surrounding places was breath taking. We walked around a lot in a picturesque ambiance. There was a hiking path to go to Mount Ulriken for adventure sekers. It was very nice to see the goats over here. We had some coffee in the restaurant while enjoying mother nature. It's open from May to September. Not to be missed while in bergen...

Situated on the mountain side of the old town, this modern, comfortable transportation whisks you up the hill quickly and efficiently. At the top you marvel at the panoramic views across the bay and out to sea. Buy your tickets online before arrival to save queuing at the ticket office.

Funicular ride is very quick - just a few minutes if you take the direct line. Others will stop off at one or two other places. Not the cheapest I've ever experienced but once at the top you get fantastic views of the city, even on a rainy, foggy day. At the top there's also an adventure park for kids and some goats! They don't mind being petted but you mustn't feed them. It took about 45 minutes to walk down - not exactly a straight route but it's mainly road and some steps, so it's not too exerting.

Worth it! I caught the tram up and the views on the way and at the top are beautiful. Bergen is such a gorgeous city and it’s worth seeing it all from above. I was walking around and the scenery is so different to Australia (obviously) but I felt like I was walking through a fairy tale. I walked down - 45 mins back to the city. The architecture of the houses are gorgeous. It’s all down hill but I had fatigued calves a day or two afterwards. But like I said, it’s worth it. I got my tickets from the tourist information, but you can get it at the starting place. Do it… it’s a great way to spend a couple of hours (if you walk down. Less of you tram it back down). The views are incredible.

Excellent views in October. We went up on quite a foggy day but the fog cleared and we saw stunning views. There are also hikes you can take up there, coffee shops, and even wild goats that are very friendly. I recommend.

Definitely worth a visit. Easy to find and offering great views over the city it is not surprising this is popular with lots of tourists! Be prepared for crowds however, as they can arrive quite literally by the coach load. That said, when I visited getting a ticket from the booth at the front was quick and easy. I was only queuing for about 5 minutes. Staff spoke English and recommended a return rather than a single ticket as it was cheaper! Ride to the top was quick and smooth, meaning it was possible to get pictures from the car on its way up. The viewing area at the top is wide and stretches round to the side, and is also layered meaning you can get unobstructed views without other tourists getting in the way. Specifically the views you get are north out towards the harbour, old town, as well as across to the west and south-west of Bergen between the smaller mountains. Impressive and the views were much better than expected! I took a walk round towards the back of the viewing point, where you can find goats and walking paths back down to the city as well as nice kids play park and the café/restaurant building. The latter was undergoing renovation when I visited. I defiantly recommend walking down despite the ease of the funicular railway. This way you get walk the narrow cobbled streets and see some incredibly pretty wooden buildings without getting out of breath!

Excellent and well worth it. If you would like good photo opportunity go early to avoid the masses. Fantastic views and walking. Some renovation was being done while I visited so not everything was open. One thing, the funicular times are not strictly followed, so don’t rely on the said trip every 30minutes, it just constantly goes up and down, timing 5-10mins early. I would recommend going up in the funicular but then take the 3km walk back down to the City centre.

The views were amazing, especially those from atop the funicular which, by the way, was just a leisurely walk from our Clarion Hotel Admiral Bergen. The folks there are very accommodating. Watch out, though , a cab ride from the airport (on Sunday) was $87.
