Jeg skal se på fyrverkeriet for første gang og jeg lurte på hvor jeg burde gå. Jeg har ikke mulighet til å dra på fløyen.
Noen som vet om verksted/garasje man kan låne på timebasis for å skru på bil? Trenger ikke verktøy. Ser det har vært på møllendal før, men finner ikke ut om det fortsatt er der.
This is so stupid but I've been commuting for months now and I still don't know how to put down the fucking armest on the bus and idk who to ask please help
Hei, Reddit! Jeg er i en situasjon der jeg må komme meg hjem igjen til Bergen fra Stavanger en dag tidligere enn planlagt. Jeg har i utgangspunktet kjøpt en billett med Kystbussen, men fant ut i etterkant at en tur-retur billett ikke kan endres etter at utreisen har startet. Jeg lurer da på om det er noen som skal reise denne strekningen på onsdag morgen/formiddag? Jeg betaler gjerne en fornuftig slant for bryet med å ta med en ekstra person. Jeg er en for øvrig mann 35 med god hygiene. Av bagasje har jeg en dufflebag og en ryggsekk, med hovedsakelig klær.
Er det bemannet cafe på disse ferjene? Hva er åpningstidene?
Har prøvd på google før jeg poster
Noen som vet om noen passende, relativt billige lokaler i Bergen man kunne lånt til spillkvelder/LAN for ungdom?
Hi, I'm coming to bergen from Tuesday to Thursday with some friends, we are all students, so we don't have much money. We are looking for things to do here (also alternatives to the mainstream). Any suggestions? :)
Hvis den noensinne kommer, så blir det etter 2060 og da er jeg død og begravd.
No car 😭🚗
Hei hei,
I'm in town on business until very early Monday morning and was hoping to chill with some locals, are there any bars in particular that are more social than others? I'd love to find a quieter place and discuss culture, politics, the economy, etc. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
P.S. I'm from the US but am ashamed of it and am not a Trump-loving idiot.
Hello everyone! I landed a job in Bergen Centre and need to move there in the near future.
I already did some searching on this subreddit but it's mainly about student rooms or living in the city of Bergen.
Our budget is max 20.000 NOK. I want to rent first and go from there. I'd prefer a detached house. Max. 30 minutes drive or bus/train to Bergen. We love nature, hiking, quiet (but not mega-rural). We don't have kids. We have a car.
As we don't want to live in the city, what cozy towns/villages do you recommend for us to start looking?
Hey, I had applied for a PhD position at Bergen University and I have my interview scheduled. How does this interview process work? Asking for General advice and for the people who might have gone theough this process before me. Also, what are the requirements to finish a PhD? How many first author papers etc. Also, how is the phD vibe there in Bergen?
Hello all,
In Scotland, where I live, it is very common to see crows, squirrels and foxes not just at the forest but also in the cities. Is that also the case in Bergen?
Thank you so much
Ps. When I used to live in Finland I loved hearing loons (Storlom) by the lakes, are they also common to hear in Norway during the summer?
Østlending her som skal på tur til Bergen rett før Nyttår. Er det noe jeg burde tenke på når det gjelder ting som kan være stengt den 28 og 29? Vet at 29 er en søndag men tenker uten om det vanlige
Hi!
I am coming to the University of Bergen as an exchange student. I am a law student and would like to ask which bachelor-level courses you would recommend for an exchange student. Which courses are the easiest in terms of workload and requirements? Also, what about Norwegian language courses?
Any experience or advice you can share would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hei! Jeg lurer på hvordan man finner en advokat som passer for min sak? Det er vel sånn at advokater spesialiserer seg innenfor spesifikke områder av loven?
Saken min gjelder en tvist med arveidsgiver/tidligere arbeidsgiver. Noen som har anbefalinger på advokater, eller kan i råd om hvordan man finner det?
hi (again)! i’m going to university of bergen in january, until june. since the prices are really higher than in my country, my scholarship isn’t enough. i was hoping to know if it’s possible to find a part time job that doesn’t require speaking norwegian :) (i know it might not be easy though)
thank y’all!
Bergen folk: A good friend of mine has just moved to Bergen from the UK and I'd like to get her a leaving/new home gift.
I was originally thinking an IKEA gift card to re-stock her kitchenware (she's a foodie, but wasn't able to take much kitchen stuff with her) but I'm struggling to navigate the website, and would rather support a local/independent store if possible.
Open to other gift suggestions too. The main thing people seem to suggest is cold weather gear but I think she's sorted for that. Maybe there's a local restaurant I could get a gift card for? She mostly buys vintage/secondhand and in general likes things that are a bit quirky or unusual.
She doesn't drive so would need to be for somewhere accessible by public transport.
Any suggestions much appreciated!
Bergen as seen in July 2023:
i found this sticker in a parking lot in bergen and decided to put it on my laptop, however; i cannot find any information about it when i google it. does anyone know what it means or represents ?
We fly into Bergen landing at 1:30am but our son won’t land until 3:30am - can we pick up our bags and clear customs then wait for him somewhere? Any ideas where would work best ?
Hi! I will be staying in Bergen next fall for around 6 weeks. I need a furnished apartment to rent for this time period close to Paradis. Is there a website where I can find such listings?
currently in Fana right now but will be hopping around and want to explore more from my last visit in 2021, most of the tourist to-do's have been checked off my list. (restaurants, cafes, bars, sightseeing, quirky things like specialty stores or collections, etc)
I am in my 30s, female - professional photographer (weddings and restaurants) - love all food - love beer and whiskey - I have a rental car but okay to park and walk for hours - meeting new people for a fresh perspective but I'm a bit of a nihilist with dark dry humor
Thank you to everyone in advance :)
Anyone have experience with finding student housing at the start of the spring semester as a foreign master's student? Unlike the exchange students we didn't receive a housing guarantee so getting anything at Sammen now is impossible but all the various student hostels suggested on the university website are also already fully booked.
I'd rather not live in an Airbnb for an entire semester if at all possible and booking something at Hybel.no without being able to even see the place seems risky plus almost as expensive as most Airbnbs
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Skal til bonde-svigers til jul og tenkter å ta med lokalmat fra området som julegave. Men finner søren ikke fenalår fra voss på julemarkedet. Finnes det et annet sted? På menyen på sletten har de bare fenalår fra nordnorge, det blir litt vell langreist.
Hilsen innflytter.
After the recent intensified police presence in Vågsbunnen, where have all the drug addicts gone?
Før så hadde iTrain på Danmarksplass en boksesal med en boksesekk, men iTrain stengte ned der, og de som tok over valgte å ikke ha det med!
De eneste som jeg kjenner til er Fight & Fitness Kampsportsenter, men deres åpningstider er:
17:00 - 20:45 (3 timer og 45 min., og de er åpne Mandag - Fredag) https://www.trenkampsport.no/treningstider/
Har noen noe andre eller bedre forslag?
