Did you know that Fløyen has its own goats? There are 9 of those Fløyen Boys (or Fløyenguttene), and they are the official vegetation managers of the mountain.

Of course besides keeping the grass in check, they also like posing in pictures! This one was captures by our guide Katarina during a hike.

This Saturday, Sunday and Monday we celebrate the Whit or Pentecost weekend in Norway! Tomorrow, Sunday, is a flag day- and this Monday is a national holiday!

Enjoy this long weekend!

🌸 Spring in Bergen 🌸

Captured by our guide Katarina at Festplassen, this is one of those magical moments when the city centre transforms into a sea of pink blossoms.

A perfect reminder that you don’t have to go far to experience something truly breathtaking, because sometimes the most beautiful views are right in the heart of the city.

We’re constantly inspired by how our guides see Bergen through their lens!

Today we celebrate Liberation Day in Norway. Although it is not a public holiday, 8 May is a national flag day, marking the end of Norway’s occupation during World War II in 1945.

This is not just a photo from the alleys of Bryggen.

The people you see here are our trainers, alongside Gaia (our Guide Manager), and a small group of future guides taking their final exam. Passing this exam means they are ready to lead walking tours for our guests.

Behind this moment lie months of preparation, planning, and dedication, both from the Norwegian Guide Service team and from the guides themselves. After weeks of on-site training and extensive study, their hard work truly showed during the exams.

We are proud to say we have full confidence in their skills and professionalism.

Congratulations to all our newly certified Guide Academy guides! 👏

Happy Labour Day!

Like many countries around the world, Norway celebrates International Workers’ Day (Arbeidernes dag) today. The day has its roots in the late 19th‑century fight for the eight‑hour workday, and today it is commonly observed through demonstrations and events highlighting workers’ rights.
