Highly recommended. The funicular ride itself is nice, and the view from Fløyen is hard to beat. Once you're on Fløyen, I recommend the cafe past the souvenir shop for its delicious buns. Also, on Sundays you can hike a fairly short distance to Brushytten, where you can buy Norwegian waffles (just double-check that it's open before you go). I also like about the funicular that it's not just for tourists -- it's also used by locals to get to and from the city. If conditions permit it, I recommend hiking up or down the mountain for the scenic trails and the amazing views of Bergen.

(This experience occurred in August 2018, which was not offered in the drop down list.) If you are a photographer, this is the BEST way to see Dalsnibba and the beautiful scenery on the way to the summit. If you take a bus, (1) it doesn't stop and (2) you don't get to experience the sights and sounds of a beautiful place. The day that we went was cold and rainy, and I'll warn you that there's no heater in the electric vehicle. However, the experience was one that I'll never forget or regret. After a short, but informative, orientation at the station, you take off for the summit. I was warned to not punch the accelerator to the maximum on the ascent, as there is enough charge in the battery to reach the summit at a moderate speed, but not full speed (there's a gauge on the dash to advise power usage and storage). The vehicle partially recharges as you coast on the descent.

As mass tourism is blooming in Norway we see that almost all operators use the main roads ang give their guests the same experience that the all the others are receiving. This is not the case with us in Skarphedin Travel. Even though we have a time table we will always stop at your request. If you have questions on the way you do not hesitate to ask. We are there for you.
