Nordnes Sjøbad – A Swim with a View

We are now passing Nordnes Sjøbad, one of Bergen’s most iconic swimming spots, open since 1910, in all seasons. Nordnes, the peninsula we are rounding, has been central to Bergen for centuries. Once a hub for trade and shipping, it later became home to mansions, fortifications, and cultural institutions. Here, you can swim in heated saltwater or take a plunge into the fjord, a refreshing contrast between warmth and cold. A favorite year-round, it’s especially popular with winter bathers.
