About this tour
This session walks Møhlenpris and up toward Nygårdshøyden, the university district above it. You see the grid of early apartment blocks built for workers and the quieter streets around the university at the top of the hill. Kristoffer treats it as the everyday Bergen behind the harbour sights.
He moves at a steady pace through Møhlenpris before slowing on the climb up the hill, since the gradient changes the view gradually rather than all at once. Questions about student life or the district's working-class history come up naturally.
This suits anyone who has seen Bryggen and the fish market and wants a sense of where Bergen actually lives. It pairs with Kristoffer's evening session at USF Verftet nearby.
