Bergen's Electric Tramway, Heritage streetcar in Bergen, Norway
Bergen's Electric Tramway is a heritage line operating vintage restored trams along a short track in the city center. The route connects the Bergen Technical Museum with multiple stations past historic buildings and streets.
This heritage line was established in 1993 to preserve the legacy of Bergen's original tram network that served the city from 1897 until 1965. The restoration of these vehicles and tracks ensures an important chapter of the city's transportation history remains accessible.
The restored trams represent how generations of Bergen residents once moved through the city and connected with their neighborhoods. Visitors today can experience the same routes and understand the role these vehicles played in daily urban life.
The trams run primarily on Sunday afternoons, so visitors should check schedules in advance before planning a visit. The short route is easy to walk if you want to explore on your own when the trams are not operating.
Plans exist to expand the line to connect several major cultural sites including the historic Bryggen district and the aquarium. This expansion would significantly extend the network and link more of the city's important landmarks together.
