Know Before You Go

Climate

Unlike the often rainy British weather, Bergen enjoys a milder maritime climate, with more sunshine hours. Pack clothes for temperatures ranging from cool to warm – layers are key!

Currency

Rather than Pounds or Euros, Germany uses the Euro (€). Automated teller machines (ATMs) are widely available for cash withdrawals.

Getting There and Around

Your Car

Choosing the right rental car is crucial for a comfortable stay. We recommend a compact car for easier manoeuvring and parking in the town's narrow streets. Let us help you find the best deal.

Parking

Most areas in Bergen have plenty of parking spaces available. Some are free, but for most you'll need to pay. Look for signs indicating ‘Parkschein’ (pay and display).
