There are many ways to get to the Bergen Aquarium and Nordnesbakken 4.
Google Maps
On foot
It takes about 15-20 minutes to walk from Torgalmenningen (the main square) to Nordnes. A walk from the city centre takes you past a number of historical attractions. You can see the oldest monasteries in the country, The Amalie Skram statue. And the totem pole, which was a gift to Bergen from Seattle in 1970. Nordnes is also known for its narrow streets with old houses that have a charm all their own. Knøsesmauet is one of the popular streets to take pictures of.

By Skyss bus
Line 11 goes to Bergen Aquarium. You can get on the bus at the bus stops Kong Oscars gate, Småstrandgaten C, Olav Kyrres gate J, Veiten in Bergen city center. You get off at the bus stop called “Sjøfarendes adershjem”. It is less than 100 meters from the stop to the Aquarium.
Line 11 runs a circular route on Nordnes, so you can get on at the same bus stop where you got off after visiting the Aquarium.
Drive your own car
It is possible to drive Markeveien and Haugeveien or C. Sundts gate to us.
The parking garage closest to us is called “NordnesGarasjen” (Nordnesgaten 46). NB! The maximum height is 1.8 meters.
Other parking garages nearby are “Klostergarasjen” (Vestre Murallmenningen 14) and “Aimo Park” (Markveien 7) .
For wheelchair users
If you arrive by car or taxi, you can be dropped off right in front of the stair-free entrance.
The aquarium is located in the city center, about a 15-minute walk from the Tourist Information at the Fish Market/ Torgalmenningen. However, the scenic route includes cobblestone streets, which can be challenging for wheelchair users. Alternatively, taking the car route provides pavements, though some sections may pose difficulties in accessing and exiting the pavement, similar to other parts of the city center. Navigating during winter when the roads might have snow and ice are not recommended.
