Bergen Airport Transfer (BGO)
Bergen Airport Flesland (IATA: BGO) is 16 kilometres southwest of Bergen and the second-busiest airport in Norway. The Bybanen light rail connects to Bergen Sentral in 45 minutes. The airport is the primary international entry point for fjord tourism — Flåm, the Sognefjord, and the Hardangerfjord are all accessible by private car from BGO, making it the starting point for a significant volume of self-drive and guided tour itineraries. A LocalsRide driver meets you inside the arrivals hall with a name sign.
