Nordnes Point – A Park by the Sea

We are now passing Nordnes Point, the outermost tip of the Nordnes Peninsula, where Bergen meets the sea. Here lies Nordnes Park, a green oasis with stunning views of the fjord and the city’s harbor entrance. Established in the 1880s, it has been a popular recreational area ever since. At the park’s highest point, you’ll see Bergen Aquarium, Norway’s largest, opened in 1960, featuring seals, penguins, tropical fish, and reptiles. A unique sight here is the Canadian totem pole, symbolizing Bergen’s historic maritime ties with Canada’s west coast.
