Fløibanen can be found at Vetrlidsallmenningen 23A, and the funicular takes you up to Mount Fløyen. 

Fløibanen opened in 1918 and is a funicular railway that runs from the centre of Bergen to Fløyen (320 m above sea level). There are two carriages fastened to a cable and driven by two large pulleys located at the upper station. Fløibanen is electrically powered and there is a driver in the carriage at all times. Each carriage holds a maximum of 120 passengers. It is Bergen’s most popular tourist attraction but is also the natural means of transport for people living on the mountainside and for the kindergartens on Fløyen.

At the top of Mount Fløyen, a fantastic view over the city awaits you! In addition, you will find the Fløirestauranten restaurant, Fløistuen shop & café, Skomakerstuen café, the Cone accommodation, a large playground, an exciting troll forest, goats, and not least a large and varied hiking area. Throughout the year, activities for both adults and children are organized, and in the summer, we offer free canoeing on Lake Skomakerdiket and mountain bikes for rent.

Free toilets can be found behind Fløistuen café, in the basement of Fløirestauranten, and at Skomakerstuen café/by Lake Skomakerdiket.
