Lovely place to spend a sunny afternoon!
We spent almost the whole day in this area. Had a late start and hada lovely lunch at Olivia's. We then spent a good deal of time exploring the streets, harbour, souvenir shops etc. We had massive waffles from a street vendor. There is a fish market in the area which had octopuses and stuff in tanks! (We are vegetarians, it amazes us!) It's a very lively and crowded area with live musicians in the street. It was a lovely sunny day but wasn't too hot, so it was perfect. In the evening we climbed up Mt Floyen. Took usva little while with many stops, especially at a large shallow water tank with fountains in it where there were many children playing. Our girls enjoyed themselves playing in the water. The view from the top of spectacular and we managed to catch the sunset on time. Tired, we took the funicular back back down. This is the perfect place to enjoy there's small town charm of Bergen.

A nice area to wander around - when it's quiet
A lovely area to wander around but it can get very busy. We visited a few times during our stay in Bergen, one was in the evening when the shops were shut but the alley ways stay open and there were only a handleful of other people there so it was a much nicer experience! There are stairs going upstairs but for the most part normal folk aren't allowed up them despite this not being very clear. The shops are mostly all selling the same things and generally all for around the same price. I have to admit I was very surprised to see many of the shops selling reindeer fur and having deer heads as decorations. If you're an animal lover be warned! In general a nice little place to spend some time when it's a bit quieter. It had a very Harry Potter Diagon Alley feel to it too.

Empty in March but historic walk
I saw this on TV but i didn't find this until the last few hours of my trip. I think as it's low season, it's not really open. It was located just off the left hand side if the main harbour behind the old / new mock buildings. All the buildings are wooden with narrow walkways and it gives a sense of what the fishing warehouses were like.
