Sightseeing
Old fortress. Tourist attraction and nice lookout point overseeing Sandviken, and Vågen. Since it's already on your way to Bryggen why not sneak a peak.

If you can see the restaurant on the top of Fløyen from town it's worth a trip. Feeling fit? Buy a one way ticket and walk down. Recommended.
