    Skansen panorama point

    Walk up to the Skansen panorama point. It is just seven minutes from Bergen domkirke. Stand by the small white wooden tower and watch the sun sink toward the WSW. The view is excellent and easily accessible.

    Henrik Øl og Vinstove

    Head down to Henrik Øl og Vinstove. This bar has one of the widest selections of beer in Bergen with over 40 taps. The atmosphere is quiet and friendly, and the bartender is knowledgeable. It is a good place to settle in as the city lights come on.

    Pingvinen

    Move to Pingvinen for dinner. It is a crowded bar that serves a good portion of Norwegian food. The kitchen is open throughout opening hours, so you can grab a meal of genuine homecooking while the night is still young.
