Nattjazz is a two-week-long jazz festival from the end of May to the start of June, the longest jazz festival in Northern Europe. All concerts take place at Verftet USF, a former sardine factory at Nøstet, with a capacity of over 4000 guests. With a day-pass, you get access to all concerts that night for a fair price. Usually, there are six or seven concerts every night, some simultaneously on the various stages. The festival's musical profile ranges from traditional jazz to world music. Some of the artists that previously has played on Nattjazz are Gotan Project, Ahmed Jamal, Jan Garbarek, Stan Getz, Art Blakey, Herbie Hancock, Van Morrison and James Brown.
Runs for several kilometers between Sandviken and Bellevue, largely horizontal and pedestrian.
Skansen brannstasjon
Excellent and easily available panorama point just above the funicular lowest station. Right in front of the old fire outlook, a small white wooden tower, now used by one of the city's buekorps.
Panorama point on the Tippetue footpath to Mt. Fløyen.
Lovely place on the highest point of Nordnes peninsula, towards the aquarium.
Pleasant park at the very tip of the peninsula, towards the sun set late summer evenings.
Johanneskirken
St. John's Church (Johanneskirken) dominates the top of Nygårdshøyden, the hill that hosts the University of Bergen. Nice view of the very centre.
