Private Airport Transfers in Bergen

Bergen Airport Flesland is 16 kilometres southwest of Bergen city centre. It is Norway's second-busiest airport and the primary gateway for fjord tourism in western Norway. The Bybanen light rail connects the airport to Bergen city centre in approximately 45 minutes (NOK 39). For groups, travellers with luggage, or those heading directly to fjord destinations beyond Bergen, a pre-booked LocalsRide private car is more practical.
