Fløyen is one of the "city mountains" in Bergen, Hordaland, Norway. Its highest point is 400 m above sea level. Either you can take the tram up or walk. You'll reach the top after about an hour.
If you decide to tak the tram, i would advise you to walk up to the second stop, and then buy tickets for the rest of the journey, this way you'll avoid the tourist "tax" and get cheaper tickets, pluss its nice with a mini workout. But make sure which way you're going.

Ulriken is the highest of the Seven Mountains that surround the city. It has a height of 643 metres. Go for the hike or experience the gondola the opened in Oct.2021. Great views and a restaurant at the top. Everything gets really small for up there, if you want a sense of connection with the city i advise going for Fløyen :)

On your way to a small town called Odda. You'll take a ferry with amazing views and pass a waterfall you can walk behind(Steinsdalsfossen). If you are the adventurist type, take on the hike to troll tunga(Troll tongue), breathtaking views! Just remember to start early, bring hiking shoes, enough food, as it can take atleast 10hours to complete. (back and forth)
