Gamlehaugen, -with the "castle", the house where the King and Queen stay when they visit Bergen, -the park with paths, flowers, roses, lawns, - and the beach, nice to swim in the sea also for children.
You can be guided into "the castle" at certain times in summer, then you have to pay. It's free to be outside in the park and in the beach.
A parking place near by.
