Easter in Bergen is one of the city's quietest and most beautiful periods. While many Norwegians head to mountain cabins for skiing and påskekrim (crime novels), Bergen offers a rich cultural programme. Grieghallen, Den Nationale Scene and Bergen's churches hold concerts and performances throughout Easter week. KODE and Kunsthallen have special exhibitions.
For families, Easter is a great time to visit Bergen. The Aquarium, Fløyen and Bymuseet organise Easter activities, and many museums offer free entry for children. Bergen averages dry weather in April — it's actually one of the city's driest months, with only about 73 mm of rainfall.
