I personally like this place, it is quite cheap, they have concerts and DJ`s in the evening. A relaxed atmosphere, student friendly, and also good for families. For everyone really. And it is a bit out of the tourist-track.

Sightseeing
Nice walk "along the city", 4km from Mon Plaisir in Sandviken to the other end called Bellevue. Very popular place to walk, especially on Sundays, but also to exercise etc, as it is without cars most the way, and gives a panoramic view of town.

Walk to the top of Sandviksfjellet, the start is just 5 min from Sandvikstorget. Steep climb with 8-900 steps to the top! Do it as an exercise or a slow walk. If you are in good shape it will take you 10-20min up - or you can use as long time as you want:-) Fantastic view, walk down Skredderdalen,or all the way to the funicular/Fløien in about 30-45min The Stoltzekleiven walk is very special and popular, there is a yearly race up in September, the record is now 7:54. Enjoy the view from the top - fantastic! This is mostly a hike for locals, so you get away from the tourist-crowds.
