Why go
This route works well for families and visitors interested in how Bergen has changed around its southern shoreline. Begin with a walk through Nygårdsparken, then give VilVite the longest stop for its hands-on science exhibits. Bergen Technical Museum adds transport and communications history in an old tram depot. Finish along the public waterfront at Solheimsviken, where the former industrial bay has a different use today. The sequence stays within Møhlenpris and the south bay, with straightforward walks between stops. Check the two museums’ current opening arrangements, and leave a flexible pause before the final waterfront walk.
