Rosenkrantz Tower
Highlight • Castle
The main tower of the Bergenhaus fortress, built around 1560, is open from 10:00 a.m. Therefore not for early birds.

Gamlehaugen Mansion
Highlight • Castle
Gamlehaugen with a beautiful park and a small beach. According to the locals, this is the summer residence of King Harald, but personally I would find it too loud. Unfortunately, cycling is not allowed in the park itself.
