About this venue
Brann Stadion is a compact, instantly recognizable stadium that keeps you close to the pitch and amplifies the matchday energy from every stand. As a key venue for football nights and occasional large-scale events in Bergen, it stands out for tight bowl-style seating and an atmosphere that carries sound remarkably well.
Inside, you’ll find comfortable seating, clear sightlines, and a visitor-friendly layout designed to keep flows moving. Food and drink kiosks, restrooms, and concourses are positioned so queues disperse naturally, while the stadium’s acoustics help chants—or concert sound—feel fuller and more immersive.
The venue is located at Kniksens Plass 1, Bergen, Norway, in an urban setting where entrances are easy to follow thanks to signage around the complex. If you’re arriving by car, plan on nearby parking and surrounding streets as the usual options, and if you’re coming without a car, aim for the closest stop and a short walk to the gates.

About the city
Bergen, a scenic city on Norway’s coast and a well-known gateway to the fjords, blends a laid-back vibe with the buzz of top sports and music events. Visitors love how everything feels close at hand — from arenas and stadiums to lively neighbourhoods for a pre-show dinner or a post-match drink. The city also offers a wide range of food options, from fresh seafood to modern bistros, plus accommodation for every budget, making it easy to plan your outing without hassle.
Infrastructure is one of Bergen’s biggest strengths: public transport under Skyss includes buses and the light rail Bybanen, so moving between the city centre and key areas is straightforward. If you fly in, Bergen lufthavn, Flesland has convenient links to town, and a mix of public transport and taxis makes getting to venues simple. For train arrivals, Bergen stasjon sits close to the centre, which keeps the onward trip to arenas intuitive — even if it’s your first time in the city.
To round out the experience, use time before or after the event for a stroll through the historic Bryggen area by the Vågen harbour, where Bergen’s character is easiest to feel. For panoramic views, the Fløibanen funicular up to Fløyen delivers a memorable perspective, and for a slower pace you’ll find waterfront paths and cosy cafés in the older parts of town. Whether you’re coming for sport or a concert, Bergen offers a simple formula: a great event and a city that’s just as enjoyable beyond the venue.
