Bergen's cruise ships dock at quays near the old town and Bryggen. Flybussen stops at Bryggen in the city center, and a taxi or pre-booked car takes you straight to the quay, which is easier with luggage. Check your cruise documents for the quay name before you land.

The taxi stand is just outside the terminal. Booking kiosks at the stand and at the exit of the domestic arrivals area let you enter your destination, luggage and vehicle type, including wheelchair access or a child seat. Drivers must tell you the fixed price before the trip starts.

Eligible premium-cabin and frequent-flyer passengers and holders of certain cards and lounge programs enter free, and other travelers with a same-day international ticket can pay. It opens about one hour before the first international flight.

Norway is in the Schengen area but not the EU. Flights from Schengen countries arrive without passport checks, while arrivals from outside it, such as the UK, go through passport control, where non-EU travelers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES). The planned ETIAS travel authorization is not yet in operation.

No. Bergen Airport has no luggage storage service, so plan to leave bags at your hotel or in the city. Passengers flying Norwegian, SAS or Widerøe can check regular bags up to 24 hours before departure, normally between 04:30 and 21:30, which helps on the day you leave.

Avinor runs the parking at Bergen Airport: short-term parking at the terminal, the P2 Parking Garage, and the P5 and P8 lots close to the walkway to the terminal, plus short-term parking at the helicopter terminal.
