Bergen HOHO by port?

[nini]

We will be on the Sky Princess, docking in Bergen on June 5th. After much research, I think we will casually explore Bergen on our own. I am having a bit of trouble determining if the HOHO bus is available at the dock, or a short distance away. Or are there shuttles to take you into town where we can find a HOHO bus?

Thanks!

After some more refined research, I found that we will be docking at Jekteviken. I think that one of the HOHO bus companies visits that dock.

stop 1 is at the Skolten / Bontelabo piers

 

stop 8 is near where the 'cruise shuttle' serving Jekteviken / Dokken stops

Bergen is actually not that big in size for a city. We walked the entire city easily when we visited in June. We had friends that lived there and they showed us around for the day; no need for a hop on bus. It's a great city and you'll love it!

Is there a shuttle into town from our dock? We will dock at Jekteviken which is a bit removed.

Based on Google maps the port to the Bryggen houses (middle of harbor tourist area as an example) is 0.9 to 1 mile walking distance.  For me with a sore knee, even that is a stretch to walk but probably most mobile folks would be fine with that, especially if you were planning on walking around town anyway. Bergen is an easy place to walk around since it's so compact for the "tourist" type areas.

I appreciate the info. One mile might be ok. It depends on how energetic I feel that day.
