Things to do in Bergen in February

Bergen Shopping

Sometimes a little retail therapy will cure a cold, gloomy day outside.  Bergen has no shortage of shopping opportunities.  The city has a long history of trading and continues that today.  Bergen's main shopping district is centered around Torgallmenningen Square.  You'll find a few different fashionable shopping malls with an assortment of stores here, as well as smaller niche stores spread out throughout the neighborhood.  Bryggen wharf also has numerous cute little shops selling souvenirs and gifts from local artisans.  Most shops are closed on Sundays.

Northern Lights Excursion

You can't come to Norway without trying to see the Northern Lights.  The dancing fire in the sky is one of the top activities for tourists near the Arctic Circle, and winter is the best time to see it due to the long nights.  Your chances of seeing the Northern Lights in Bergen are slim, however, due to the constant cloud cover.  You'll have to go inland and get away from the sea.  Bergen does make a good starting & return point for a Northern Lights trip because of the easy transportation options.  Check out some of the local tour operators to plan a trip from Bergen.
