Byfjorden (the Cityfjord), with its water depths ranging from about 5 to 350 meters frames the city of Bergen along its waterfront. It is also a natural landmark, visible from much of the city as it is situated between the seven mountains that encircle Bergen. The 15-kilometre (9.3 mi) long fjord separates the island of Askøy from the mainland Bergen, passing right north of the city of Bergen on the mainland.

The 4 kilometer long and up to 500 meter deep Salhusfjord is located between Bergen and Alver Municipality. The fjord is crossed by the Nordhordland Bridge. The fjord takes its name from the village area of Salhus. In the early 12th century there was an inn located there, known at the time as a sáluhus. It acted as a transport hub for Nordhordland, and was a small market town. It was one of the first industrialized places when a hosiery manufacturer was established here in 1859.

The Nordhordland Bridge is an impressive landmark just north of Bergen, carrying the coastal road across the wide Salhusfjord. Opened in 1994, it combines a slender cable-stayed span with a long floating section, making it one of the world’s most distinctive bridge designs. As you cross, the scenery opens into sweeping views of fjords, mountains and islands—classic Western Norway at its best. The bridge replaced the former ferry link and is today an essential connection between Bergen and the Nordhordland region, offering travellers both efficient transport and a memorable glimpse of Norwegian engineering and coastal beauty.
