Bergen's New Year's Eve centres on the spectacular fireworks over the harbour (Vågen) and from Mount Fløyen at midnight.

The main fireworks are launched over the harbour (Vågen) and from Mount Fløyen at midnight. Bryggen, the Fish Market, Nordnes and Fløyen mountain are popular viewing spots.
The official fireworks start at midnight and last 10–15 minutes. The harbour location means reflections on the water double the visual impact.
Yes — Bergen's compact centre, harbour fireworks, and lively venue scene make it an excellent NYE destination. The Bryggen setting is particularly atmospheric.

The fireworks are free and public. Concerts and parties at venues require tickets — book early as popular events sell out. Restaurant New Year's menus should be booked well in advance.
