Trip to Norway 🇳🇴

It was a vacation with family to Norway. Just to share some of the places and restaurants that I’ve visited and enjoyed the most. Norway was truly a beautiful country. We were in a group of 4 and we visited many places. One of our most favorite place to visit was Mount Floyen. We took the Fløibanen funicular up all the way to the top and walk to central Bergen. It is definitely worth to go up to the top as you can see very amazing view 💯 If you were given a chance, do remember to pick the front seat so that you can capture best pictures without having people blocking in the front 🤣 They opened from 8am to 11pm everyday. Instead of buying the ticket online, we bought the ticket on spot via the kiosk machine. One way journey took about 15 minutes and it was around 85Krone, return costs about 160Krone. It is definitely worth to visit 🥰 Mount Floyen 📍5014 Bergen, Norway Our second favorite spot to visit in Norway was Kode Museum. This museum really amazed us! It is one of the biggest museum in Nordic region. The museum was made up of 4 different buildings and there were a lot of things to see, from art and crafts to music etc. We spent half days walking around the museum and we have learned and understand many history behind all the objects and Norway. They opened on Tuesday to Sunday from 11am to 4pm. Our tickets were 480Krones (for 4pax). We really enjoy visiting Kode Museum 🥰 Kode Musuem 📍 Nordahl Bruns gate 9, 5014 Bergen, Norway Just to share my favorite restaurant in Norway before I wrap up this post. I really enjoyed eating the Norwegian local cuisine. my favorite shop in Bergen was Pingvinen. The restaurant itself is small and menu were very limited. But all the items that we tried were very delicious. P/s: the portion is very big as well. Every dish came with their unique sauce. We visited the restaurant two times in a row 🤣The price was considered affordable. We ordered all the seafood items available from the menu and all were delicious, especially their fish 💯Please check it out if you’re around Bergen area. (Their service was very good too 🥰) Pingvinen 📍 Vaskerelven 14, 5014 Bergen, Norway #Holiday #vacation #Relax

Scenic Fløibanen Tram

#2024wish It is always fun to take tram up to the top of the mountain as you get to enjoy the scenic view as you ascend to the top of the mountain. That's why I got to enjoy this year when I visited Bergen. I took the Floibanen to go up to the top of Mount Fløyen where I have a spectacular of the city below from up there. In 2024, I hope to have a chance again to take tram up to the top of a mountain but in winter. I love to see snow mountains.

Skomakerdiket At Floibanen

#2024wish I took the tram up to the top of Mount Floibanen when I was holidaying in Bergen Norway. It was a spectacular view looking down at the city and the nearby sea from up there. I took the chance to walk around at the top and found out there was lake called Skomakerdiket. It was a beautiful lake with the trees surrounding it. In 2024, I hope to have the chance to tour another city in Scandinavia with my wife.
