After the horrible fire of 1855 the city of Bergen was redesigned to resist the spread of massive fires and so the park was conceived as sort of a fire break. It was opened in 1865 and expanded and changed over the decades. The park today is very pleasant, lots of trees and flowers and Lille Lungegardsvannet to walk around. And of course all kinds of weird sculptures, statues and cool things that the Norwegians seem so fond of. The park is well used, when we were there we saw hoards of schoo kids running through the park doing various fun things as well as older people walking around and tourists just taking it all in. A lovely, scenic and very useful and appreciated park.

I went in April (around 18:00), and not only was the ride up quite peaceful and enjoyable, but once atop the mountain, the views were spectacular and the tourists were not overwhelming in the slightest. No pushing or shoving for the perfect photo spot. The views are amazing. Photos don't really do it justice, you have to go for yourself. Pack smart! There's significantly more wind up there! And goats.
