Fantoft Stavkirke. [Stave Church]
It might seem odd to call a stave church a secret place but it would be only too easy to miss. When the driver of the bus forgot to tell me, I had no idea we'd passed it!
This could be called a new old church because the oruginal was burnt down and rebuilt in the 1980s. more
Gamle Bergen Museum
Gamle simply means old and this is a collection of about 40 wooden houses and a church just a short bus ride from the city. They were rescued from oblivion, mainly in Bergen. You can only go in to these buildings during a guided tour, which can be strongly recommended. more
Hurtigruten [Norwegian Coasal Voyage]
This is described by the proprietors as 'The World's most beautiful voyage.' I wouldn't know about that and they might not either but it's pretty special.
If you like a cruise with entertainment and 'Captain's Table' you could well hate this but if you fancy a working boat with marvellous scenery and great meals this is for you.

Steens Hotel
Given the price level in Norway, this possibly could even be called budget.
It's a really pleasing 1890s building and the website given doesn't mention the breakfast room [breakfast included in the price] which provides a cheering start for the day.
Stream and park opposite. Near the centre but there is a STEEP [though short] pull up on the way. more
