From Cruise ship (Bontelabo) to town centre
Posted on
Arriving at the Cruise port at Bontelabo / Skoltegrunnskaien, you have a very short walk to the main sights of Bergen, and a little further past the Fish Market, you arrive in the town centre at the central square Torgallmenningen. The walk leads you to Den blå steinen (The blue stone), which is a popular meeting point among locals. From this point, we publish some other routes to various sights and activities in the town.
