Birdwatching in Bergen City Park

The area between Bergen Public Library and Olav Kyrres gate (street) is considered Bergen city park. The music pavilion stands out with its flower decorations in all sorts of colours. Bergen city park contains beautiful gardens with colourful flowers, bushes, and trees. A suggestion is to take your children here to feed the birds. Additionally, the park is a good place to take pictures of the birds, as you get pretty close to these human-accustomed birds. The tiny water Lille Lungegårdsvann is the most bird-rich area of the park.
