Byfjorden, Norwegian fjord in Bergen and Askøy, Norway.
The Byfjorden extends 15 kilometers between Askøy island and Bergen Peninsula, connecting with Salhusfjorden and Herdlefjorden at its northern entrance.
The waterway served as a central transportation route since medieval times, enabling trade vessels to reach Bergen's harbor through protected waters.
Communities along both shores maintain strong maritime traditions, with fishing vessels and recreational boats regularly traversing the waters between settlements.
The Askøy Bridge spans the fjord near its western section, connecting Bergen Peninsula to Askøy island since 1992.
The waters between Drotningsvik village and Marikoven mark the western entrance, creating a natural corridor for maritime traffic.
