We are celebrating love by serving you the best tips for romantic places, accommodation and activities on Valentine's Day.
What should you do in Bergen on the most romantic day of the year? We believe the day should include chocolate, great experiences, luxurious accommodation, a delicious meal, laughter, kisses, and wonderful memories.
Our guide to Valentine's Day in Bergen:
1. Ulriken – an active start to the day
Going from a racing pulse to complete zen can be an excellent recipe for a great day to boost your relationship. If you ride the gondola to the top of Mt Ulriken, you can start your day with the morning sun and fantastic panoramic views of Bergen. Go for a walk at the top of the mountain, before sipping a hot chocolate with whipped cream and taking the gondola back down.
Start your day with a gondola ride to the top of Mt Ulriken and enjoy fantastic panoramic views of Bergen.
2. Bergen Børs Hotel - luxurious slumber
Check in at Bergen Børs Hotel, offering exclusive accommodation right in the city centre. It's just a short distance to the Fish Market, museums, and exciting nightlife in Skostredet. But the most important thing is, of course, that you get a good night's sleep in a big, soft bed!
Luxurious and central Bergen Børs Hotel is perfect for a romantic stay.
3. Frescohallen – classy lunch and bubbly
Enjoy a tasty lunch in Frescohallen. Dine in a unique big hall with frescoes on the walls. Treat yourself to steak tartar, moules frites, or a lobster paste, and of course, have a toast with some bubbly in your glass.
Here's to a tasty lunch at Frescohallen.
4. Konfektgalleriet – chocolate is a must on Valentine's Day
After lunch, you can go for a stroll in Bergen city centre for some shopping and a good cup of coffee. Don't forget to head to Konfektgalleriet at the main square, Torgallmenningen. This is where Bergen locals go to buy chocolate and it's where you will find the very best sweets.
5. City Sauna – a refreshing kick
Hiking, check, dining, check, shopping, check. Time for some rejuvenation! One of the most popular trends in Norway's big cities are ice bathing and saunas. Book a private sauna in advance or drop in at City Sauna.
6. Kode – enjoy world-class art and culture
If you are not ready to jump into ice cold water, you can buy a cup of coffee and visit Kode. One of the Nordic region's biggest museums of art, design and music is just a short walk from Bergen Børs Hotel. Experience everything from Edvard Munch to modern installations.
Bergen's Kode museum has the world's third largest Munch collection.
7. Champagne in your room – a romantic break
Order bubbly to your hotel room, sample the chocolate you bought at the Konfektgalleriet, and take a break.
8. Restaurant Bare – a meal you won't forget
The luxurious restaurant Bare is located at Bergen Børs Hotel. Sushi world champion Vladimir Pak is behind its tasty menu. Enjoy an extraordinary culinary journey where the food is an outstanding tribute to Norway's west coast. An 8-course meal paired with selections from an impressive wine list is the perfect ending to a romantic day.
A meal at Restaurant Bare by Pak is something you will remember for a long time.
Cheers, and remember to kiss!
