Summer residence of the King of Norway. Parks are open to the public free of charge. Not worth it to pay to enter the building. But really nice place to relax, close to the fjords.

Ukuzulazula
Tram or Bybahnen
The cheapest way to get to the city from the airport is the tram (Bybahnen). Takes about 40 mins. end to end. Tickets are purchased on the app or on the machines in the stop. Note : Tickets are not printed and your credit card is your ticket i.e. in case of inspection just present the card with which you paid, they can verify it. Fines are prompt and steep, so dont forget to buy your ticket !

Tipping culture
Restaurant workers etc. in Norway are generally paid a decent living wage (and therefore the prices are quite high). So it is not necessary nor expected to offer a tip. Tips are also taxed as normal income. Ofcourse a tip is always appreciated, but dont feel obliged to give one.
Okufanele ukupakishe
Rain jackets / shoes
Bergen is generally a wet city and might rain often. Good idea to pack a light rain jacket and some shoes that can withstand getting wet. I have some umbrellas that you may borrow.
Ukuhamba nezingane
Kids are free here
Kids here are allowed to get dirty and generally be free. It is frowned upon to yell at or unnecessarily restrict your kids. Any physical force like spanking will land you in serious trouble. So be mindful.

Public transport
Kids under 16 do not pay in public transport if travelling with an adult with a valid ticket.
