Visit Bergen’s 10 tips for a greener visit makes responsible travel simple, easy, and clear.
Destination: Bergen, Norway
Organization: Visit Bergen
Visit Bergen makes responsible travel both easy and simple for visitors. Their 10 tips located right under the visitor information tab begins by encouraging more sustainable transportation such as taking the train or bus to Bergen.
Once in the city, the tips emphasize walking, biking, or using public transit over driving. Bergen’s compact center is easily navigable on foot, while city bikes and extensive low-emission bus and light rail options make sightseeing both fun and green. The Bergen Card further simplifies sustainable choices by offering free access to regional public transport.
When driving is necessary, the tips suggest renting an electric vehicle. Thanks to Norway’s advanced charging infrastructure and high uptake of EVs, exploring the broader region remains easy and environmentally sound.
Other tips include staying longer to reduce emissions from frequent travel, choosing local suppliers directly to keep economic value within the region, and selecting eco-certified providers marked with a “Travel Green” label. Visit Bergen makes it clear that a certification does not mean that the company is completely sustainable, but that it works continuously to improve.
The guide transforms responsible travel into an intuitive experience while offering clear, simple, and practical steps that align action with education.
