Bergen Matfestival 2025: A Culinary Celebration in Norway’s Food Capital

Bergen’s waterfront will come alive this September with mouth-watering aromas, vibrant market stalls, and food lovers from across the globe. Bergen Matfestival, running from September 5–6, 2025, isn’t just a food event—it’s a deep dive into Norway’s culinary traditions and modern flavours.

If you’re flying in, having a seamless way to stay connected is key—not just for sharing your foodie finds but also for navigating Bergen’s charming yet maze-like streets and staying updated with festival schedules. That’s where tools like Voye Global’s eSIM come in handy from the moment you land.

Why Bergen Matfestival Is Worth the Trip?

1. Taste the best of Norway in one place
From freshly caught fjord seafood to reindeer sausages and traditional Norwegian cheeses, this festival showcases produce and delicacies from across the country.

2. Meet local chefs and producers
Bergen Matfestival prides itself on connecting visitors with the people behind the dishes—farmers, fishers, brewers, and artisans eager to share their stories.

Beyond the food, you’ll enjoy a setting framed by colourful wooden wharf houses, historic streets, and the backdrop of surrounding fjords.

How to Make the Most of Bergen Matfestival 2025?

  • Arrive Early – The festival opens in the morning, and the most popular dishes sell out quickly.
  • Bring a Tasting Plan – Check the festival program online (easier if you have mobile data ready via an eSIM) and mark your must-try stands.
  • Join Cooking Demonstrations – Learn from Norwegian culinary experts on how to prepare local specialities.
  • Take Fjord Breaks – Between tastings, enjoy a short boat tour or ride the Fløibanen funicular for panoramic city views.

Getting to Bergen

By Air:
Bergen Airport (BGO) is well connected to European hubs like Amsterdam, London, and Copenhagen. From the airport, you can reach the city via light rail or airport buses in about 45 minutes.

By Train:
The Bergen Line from Oslo is one of the world’s most scenic rail journeys—perfect if you want to combine the festival with a broader Norwegian adventure.

By Cruise:
Many Norwegian fjord cruises dock in Bergen, making it a convenient foodie stopover.

Navigating the City During the Festival

Bergen is walkable, but festival crowds can make movement slower. Keep these tips in mind:

  • Use Vy (Norwegian transport app) for real-time bus, tram, and train schedules.
  • Download Google Maps or Mapillary for offline navigation—made smoother with constant connectivity from an eSIM.
  • Have Vipps (Norway’s popular mobile payment app) ready for cashless transactions at food stalls.
