Passport/Visa

Norway can be visited visa-free for up to 90 days by citizens of most European countries, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, Israel, UAE and most countries in America. If you are unsure whether or not you need to apply for a visa, we recommend contacting the embassy or consulate in your country. International (non-Schengen) travellers need a passport that is valid for at least 3 months after the end of their intended trip in order to enter the Schengen zone. Citizens of Schengen countries can travel without a passport but must have a valid ID with them during their stay.

Cruise Port

Bergen is a popular cruise destination and can be considered the gate to the fjords of Norway. The wharf in Bryggen is listed among UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites. Skolten Cruise Port (Vagen Harbor), the main cruise terminal, is located about 1km away from the Bryggen wharf area. This is where most cruise ships dock, larger ships may also dock at Dokken/Jekteviken Port, which is about 1km away from the Fish Market. The cruise schedule for the port in Bergen can be found here: www.bergenhavn.no There are free shuttle services available that will take you to Hurtigruteterminalen (speed boat terminal). From there, you can easily reach the city centre on foot. If you require special assistance or a wheelchair, a shuttle bus can take you directly to the city centre.

Public Transport

Tickets for local buses can be bought from the bus driver or at the bus station, which also has day tickets (the latter will save you money if you plan to make more than 2 journeys within 24 hours). Travelling by bus and train is an excellent way to see the varied landscape. Norges Statsbaner, NSB, runs the line between Oslo and Bergen, which reaches heights of more than three thousand feet above sea level. The largest bus operator is NOR-Way, and Lavprisekspressen/Artic Express offers low-price services from Oslo. From Bergen, you can take the Hurtigrutten ferry to Kirkenes, and there are also ferries to Hirtshals and Newcastle.
