“This was a great time! Plenty of hiking trails once you get to the top of the mountain to enjoy. We rode the cable car up and down for the experience, however, the stairs looked like a good time as well if you choose to opt for that. The cafe at the top looked phenomenal although we did not get anything. Everything looked delicious and this is a great stop in Bergen!”
