About this experience

The Saga Column is a unique monument located in the centre of the city of Bergen, Norway. It was built in 1872 to commemorate the city's 900th anniversary and is a symbol of the city's history and culture.

The column is made of granite and stands at a height of 8.5 metres. It is decorated with a variety of figures, including a Viking ship, a lion, a dragon, and a knight.

The column is a popular tourist attraction and is a great place to take a photo or just admire the view. The area around the column is also home to a number of other attractions, such as the Bergenhus Fortress and the Hanseatic Museum.

Whether you're a history buff or just looking for a great view, the Saga Column is a must-see when visiting Bergen.
