About Bergen

Bergen station is the western terminus of the Bergen Line, widely regarded as one of the world's most scenic railway journeys, which crosses the Norwegian mountains at more than 1,200 metres altitude to reach Oslo. The current station building, dating from 1913 and extended in later decades, sits at the edge of Bergen's historic Bryggen wharf district and handles regional commuter services around the Hordaland region as well as the daily long-distance trains to the capital. Bergen's position as Norway's second city and a major cruise port means the station is a gateway for large numbers of both domestic and international visitors.
