Fløibanen
0
In front of you is the "Fløibanen", a railway cable car that takes you 320 meters up to the top of Fløyen. This is one of Norway's most famous tourist attractions, and a panoramic view of the city awaits at the top. There you can spot everything from houses, cars and people in Bergen's streets, to the mountains and the gap in the sea in the distance. The cable car was officially opened in 1918. At a speed of just over 14 km/h, it takes you up the 848 meter long track in 5 - 6 minutes. The route is run by two carriages with the characteristic names Rødhette and Blåmann, each of which can take around 100 passengers. The Fløibanen and Fløyen are Bergen's biggest tourist attraction and one of Norway's most visited destinations, but the trip itself is an experience. Throughout the year, over two million people take the trip on the spectacular course.
