How we verified this.
Is Bergen worth visiting during the Bergen City Marathon?
Packed on the event day. our forecast
Worth it if Bergen City Marathon is why you're coming — expect Packed days; if crowds are your concern, it is the one time to avoid. advice
Where are the crowds in Bergen during the Bergen City Marathon — and where is it calm?
The course runs through the city centre and along the waterfront, which closes those streets to traffic for most of the day; crossing the centre by car or bus is slow and walking is easy.
Our crowd forecast is an informed estimate, not a guarantee — check with the organiser and/or local authorities before you plan around it.
