Floibanen is a funicular railway connecting central Bergen to the top of Mount Floyen, operated by Floibanen AS since it opened in 1918. The line is 848 metres long with a height difference of 302 metres between the two end stations, and carries around two million passengers a year.
The route has five stops between the lower station at Vetrlidsallmenningen, close to Bryggen and the harbour, and the upper station on Floyen, with the full ride taking a few minutes depending on stops. At the top, visitors find viewpoints over the city and fjords, hiking trails across the mountain, and the Floyen restaurant and cafe.
Floibanen runs daily, with departures roughly every 15 to 30 minutes depending on the time of day.
