Let a local help you discover Bergen’s historic Alrekstaðir, the Norse King’s residence during the kingdom of Norway. The old estate sits dramatically at the base of Ulriken, one of the seven mountains surrounding the city. You’ll first follow your guide through Bergen, exploring the cultural heritage sites that tell the famous Norwegian King’s sagas. Written by Snorre Sturlason, the stories take you through Ynglinga, early medieval Scandinavian history, and the times of Vikings and Kings.

Bergen was founded after the Viking era, but your guides will walk you through relevant history.
As your guide shares stories of local, regional, and cultural history, you’ll stop to admire the city’s viewpoints, monuments, and historical landmarks. Then, walk along Norway’s oldest streets and learn about the original city planning. Your walk ends at Alrekstaðir, the 10th-century estate that hosted the Battle of Fitjar!
