About Rosenkrantz Tower
A 16th-century defensive tower within Bergenhus Fortress that combines medieval fortifications with Renaissance residential quarters. Climb the narrow stone staircases to reach panoramic viewing platforms offering 360-degree views of Bergen city, harbour, and mountains for NOK 100. A combined ticket with Haakon's Hall is available for better value.
Insider Tips
Buy the combined ticket with Haakon's Hall to save money, and visit the tower first when your legs are fresh - the spiral staircases are steep and the climb is more demanding than it looks.
