Embark on the Bergen's Timeless Tapestry: A Historic and Cultural Journey

Rain whispers across Bergen’s steep rooftops while secrets pool in cobbled alleyways. The city’s stone heart is centuries old and every square hides a whisper of forgotten power plays or creative rebellion.

Stroll at your own pace with this self-guided audio tour and uncover gripping stories where most visitors only see brick and stone. Follow hidden threads connecting media dynasties, haunting melodies, political intrigue and ancient rituals as you step off the usual path.

Who once risked everything within the walls of Bergens Tidende during a moment of national crisis? Why do the echoes inside Bergen Cathedral draw lost spirits closer on stormy nights? What led a famed composer at Grieg Academy to disappear from his own concert?

Wander from shadowy nave to bustling newsroom. Trace the footsteps of rebels, visionaries and artists whose passions still ripple through these streets. See Bergen’s legacy bloom in dramatic colors just beneath the drizzle.

Press play to let Bergen reveal what lies behind her rain-soaked mask.
