Highlights

One of the 19th century super stars was a Norwegian musician from Bergen. He was a virtuoso violinist named Ole Bull and he lived on the Island of Light - the Lysøen - where this tour will take you and where you can visit Ole Bull's amazing villa.


During this 4-hours long tour in your own private car with your own private driver-guide, we will drive from Bergen centre to Buena quay. From there a small passenger ferry leaves to the Lysøen island  regularly.


On the island you will visit the gorgeous villa, which is now a museum, on a guided tour. Afterwards, you are free to explore the island on your own or in the company of your guide - taking a walk on one of many walking paths.


If we have enough time on the return journey to Bergen, we will make a stop at the Lysekloster - the ruins of a Cistercian monastery from the 12th century. The tour ends in Bergen centre.


The villa will be closed due to reconstruction in 2020 - 2024. In this period you can only see the villa from outside.
