The wooden gabled warehouses of Bryggen on the Bergen waterfront, with the harbor bay of Vågen and a tall ship beside them
Bergen · Where to stay

Staying in Møhlenpris

Møhlenpris sits below the university hill, so the route you choose can matter as much as the distance. Before booking, compare a direct walk over the hill with a longer approach around it. Build in time to explore the waterfront locally, rather than treating every outing as a journey straight to the harbor and back.
