Flights to Bergen

A direct flight from London to Bergen Airport (BGO) takes just under two hours, making Bergen an ideal destination for a short city break or weekend getaway.

We fly to Bergen during the summer months only, and you can use our low fare finder to discover the cheapest time to visit during this time. Bergen's busiest months are May to September, when milder weather attracts visitors for sightseeing and exploring the surrounding landscapes. Pack a waterproof layer, as the coastal climate means rain is always possible. 

You can plan a trip to Bergen on any budget. Explore the compact centre on foot and enjoy the free outdoor activities, like the vast nature surrounding the city. You can purchase a local sightseeing and public transport discount card for savings on travel and entry to selected museums and attractions, plus discounts on parking, dining and cultural events. For affordable eats, visit the city’s bakeries or supermarkets to curate your own picnic to indulge in al fresco. Also try the local street food – the beloved national fast-food staple, the hotdog, can be found at kiosks around the city.

Once you land at Bergen Airport, you’re just a 20-minute journey from the city centre. Regular buses and light rail services run directly from the airport to the city, and you can also find transport to other regional destinations, including boats to the fjords from the nearby quay. Taxis and ride-hailing services offer convenient travel options across the city and the surrounding region. 

You can also hire a car with British Airways if you want to see more of what Norway has to offer. You’ll receive great benefits, with all mandatory charges included and 24-hour customer support, plus you’ll collect Avios points on every rental.

Make Bergen your holiday destination this summer and venture beyond its headline sights. Visit one of its waterfront saunas and pair it with a refreshing dip in the sea for an unmistakenly Norwegian experience. In the city centre, Skostredet mixes traditional wooden buildings with cafes, restaurants and bars. Look out for must-try dishes, including local specialties like Bergen fish soup and persetorsk – a traditional pressed cod dish.
