STADSPORTEN – this is one of the gates which originally marked the cathedrals parish boundary, before the city boundaries were extended in 1876. The foundation stone was laid in 1628 by duke Oluf Parsberg. The loft (clothing house) was made into an archive for Bergen Stift, later the city archives, which were based here right up until 1972. The stone plaque on the south side was erected in honour of Parsberg, just after the completion of the building. In the northern gable there is a commemorative stone bearing the city’s coat of arms, from 1645.

REGNHYTTEN is a sculptural monument made by the Dutch artist Martin Borchert, and erected in October 2000. It is situated along the path by the lakeside, and depicts the way the elements (rain, water, wind, sea and snow) interact with one another. The sculpture can be experienced as an instrument when it rains, both visually and auditory.

DEN NATIONALE SCENE – Was built between 1906-09. The building was damaged in 1940 during a bombing raid and the whole stage/seating area was rebuilt. In 1993 it became a listed building. The first theatre in Bergen was opened in the variety hall in the 1850’s Ole Bull being the initiator. Henrik Ibsen was both director and artistic advisor between 1851-1857, Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson was the theatre director between 1857-9. It was a private theatre until 1972, it then became a public company owned by the State, province and local authority. From 1993 it became a purely State owned venture.

FREDRIKBERG FESTNING – was initially constructed as a fort in 1666/67. This was earlier one of the cities places of execution. During larger city fires firebombs were deployed from here as part of the cities fire-fighting effort. In 1818-21 C.F.G. Bohr had his observatory here, he mapped Bergen geographically, as well as starting the registering of barometric pressure, temperature, rainfall and weather conditions. Fredriksberg was abandoned as a fortification in 1872, but is preserved as a historical monument.

NORDNESPARKEN – This was the idea of Edvard G. Johannessen and the site was developed between 1888-98. A bronze bust of Johannessen, by Ambrosia Tønnesen, was unveiled in 1918. The park consists of play areas, sledging slopes and the cities most popular attraction (at that time) a seawater bathing pool (1910) plus a 25meter swimming pool. The large deciduous trees were planted there during the initial construction of the park. At the outer most point of the headland there is a Totem pole, this was a gift during the celebration of Bergens’ 900 year jubilee in 1970, from Seattle USA (its twin town).

MUREN – This is one of Bergens oldest secular buildings, built in 1561 – partially of stone from the ruins of Munkeliv monastery. The ground floor of the building has been used for trading since the last part of the 1600 hundreds. It has been used by many different groups throughout the years, a security guard company, state-owned wine and spirits monopoly, the churchwarden and now as a museum for the traditional Buekorps. Muren became a listed building in 1927.

TORGET – In 1889 the council decided to errect tanks for the sale of live fish. In 1923 the flower market was added. In the summer this whole area is used as a marketplace. In 1921 a sea mine was mounted upon a plinth with a bronze relief of Sofus Madsen, as a monument to all seafaring folk who lost their lives during the First World War. The mine is a collection box, with all proceeds going to the families of those lost at sea. The circular building which you see here used to be used as a newspaper kiosk and public toilet, it was erected in 1929 (Kasper Hassel was the architect), it’s known locally as the round tower. In 1985 it was converted into a kiosk.

BRYGGEN – originally known as the "German wharf"(1857-1945). The first German merchants (the Hanseatic League) established themselves here in the middle of the 12 hundreds. The German merchants and craftsmen acquired a position of power/status. At times there were around 2000 of them in the city, and only around 7000 Norwegians. They had political control up until 1754, and after this they still continued to have a very strong influence on the cities economy. The wharf was burnt down in 1476 and again in 1702, but was rebuilt again in approximately the same style as before. In 1955 parts of it burnt down again, although 6 buildings remained in tact this time. The archaeological digs in 1979, which came about as a result of the fire in 1955, confirmed that this area was of truly enormous historical value. Thus these buildings are now listed and they are on UNESCOs list of cultural buildings, which are of great international interest.

ROSENKRANTZTÅRNET – This building was named after Erik Ottesen Rosenkrantz, who was the feudal overlord of Bergen City from 1559-68. In Magnus Lagabøtes time (1270) there was a fort here, a round tower with a moat and drawbridge. Rosenkrantz received orders to demolish the fort, but he decided instead to rebuild it and increase the height of the walls. In the old entrance gates you can still see the 2 holes for the chains from the drawbridge. Between the16th and 19^th Centuries the tower was a militarily strategic post. It was not opened to the public until the 1930’s. During the Second World War the tower was badly damaged, restoration was fully completed in 1966.

MARIAKIRKEN – parish church for the religious community who were known as the Maria denomination, for a period also called the "German church". Looking at the architectural details and construction of the church it is thought that it was started around the end of the 11^th century and finished around 1150. This means that the Maria church is one of the towns’ oldest listed buildings. It is mentioned in the Sagas in connection with king Sverres’ attack on the town in 1183. Various town fires have damaged the church, but in the last 500 years nothing major has happened to the church. The Maria church became the main parish church for the Hanseatic merchants. The contents of this church were much finer than that of other churches, for example in 1336 the first glass windows were put in. The last German priest assigned to this church was in 1835, and the last service held in German was in 1868. In 1875 it became a Norwegian parish church.

FLØYBANEN – This is an electric driven cable (fenuncular) railway up to the top of Fløyfjellet (fløy-mountain), which is 325 meters above sea level. It was opened in 1918. The length of the cable/tracks is 850 meters, and the incline varies from 15 to 26 degrees. In 1954 the cars were renewed, and in 2002 it had an overhaul and got new tracks and cars.

DOMKIRKEN – this is built upon the site of the remains of two previous churches. The first time it was mentioned was as "Olavs’ church in Vågsbunnen". This was burnt to the ground in 1248 and again in 1270. Magnus Lagabøte financed the last building, which was finished in 1301. This burnt again around 1463/64. It was still in ruins when it was decided that this would be the site for the cathedral in 1537. It was finally rebuilt in its present form between 1623 and 1640.

JERNBANESTASJONEN – was built in 1913 in gneiss from Vaksdal and slate from Voss. It was rebuilt in 1942, 1951, 1959. The public area of the station was modernized in 1991/92. The vestibule has 10 relief’s along the walls under the ceiling, created in mortar by Mons Hartvedt. They contain motives of the landscape along the stretch of railway across the mountains towards Oslo called "Bergensbanen", with the silhouettes of the fortresses at Akershus and Bergenhus.
