Location

Akvariet i Bergen is located at Nordnesbakken 4 on the Nordnes peninsula, close to Bergen’s city centre and right by the waterfront. Nearby, it is one of the best places in Bergen for combining a family-friendly attraction with classic city sightseeing. The aquarium sits close to Nordnesparken, a pleasant seaside park that is ideal for a short walk before or after your visit. The surrounding Nordnes area has a quieter local feel, with narrow streets, harbour views, and easy access to the centre. From here, visitors can also reach the Fish Market, Bryggen, and Bergen Harbour without difficulty, making it simple to pair the aquarium with the city’s most famous historic sights. Bergenhus Fortress is another notable attraction within reach, adding a strong historical contrast to the marine exhibits. The location is especially convenient for visitors who want to explore Bergen on foot, because it combines coastal scenery, green space, and some of the city’s most recognisable landmarks in one area.
