Bergen has one of Scandinavia’s most pet-tolerant transport networks — Skyss buses and the Bybanen tram accept all leashed dogs free of charge, the Fløibanen funicular too, and the Vy regional trains north and south of the city accept dogs with a small dog ticket. The Bergen-Stavanger Hurtigruten ferry also accepts dogs.

Bergen’s Skyss network covers all city buses and the Bybanen tram (light-rail) running 19 km from the city centre to the airport. Leashed dogs travel free across the entire network. Drivers can refuse for safety only — very rare.

💡 Quick Tips

1.The Bergensbanen Bergen-Oslo train is consistently rated one of the most beautiful train rides in the world — book the dog car (vogn) in advance. Window seats are coveted for the dog as much as for the human.
2.Bergen Airport (BGO) has a dedicated pet relief area outside Terminal 1. Most major airlines (SAS, Norwegian) accept dogs in cabin or hold on European routes — book at booking time, not check-in.
3.Local taxis (Bergen Taxi 07000) accept dogs but always mention when booking — dog-friendly drivers will be dispatched.
