Bergen with limited mobility

The Funicucar to the top of Mt Floylen is also part of Bergen's public transport system, i used to go up to access the walking trails you find at top. And i was often confonted by housewifes of all ages doing their shopping, and would think your mum might be allright. The fish market down by the harbour is paved, and from menory it has no cobbles, and as the Norweigans are a very civilisded and avanced people the Aquarium should be OK also, alltough other people may know more.

The Ulriksbanen stops for a couple of minutes between each run, so no problem in that respect. The road leading up to the bottom station from the bus stop is rather steep and windy, so that might an issue. There are also some steps at either station. I didn't notice accessible entrances. You could always try emailing them at post@ulriken643.no

The Floibanen is much easier to access, the bottom station being in central Bergen. the view isn't quite as impressive as that from Ulriksbanen, but it's still pretty impressive!

Taxi in Bergen, around NOK 800 -1000 per hour. Lots of narrow alleys and one-way drive streets, hopeless for sightseeing by car.

It's a hilly city, but the centre is compact and relatively flat and should be manageable on foot, even for an elderly person. Plenty to see and do. I'm very busy at the moment, but will return with more specific recommendations if you're interested later.

Thank you all so much for your responses. I'll certainly email them (why hadn't I thought of that?)

I'm really looking forward to our trip now

There's a free bus operating in the town centre. It's handicap-friendly and could be quite convenient for your mother. Otherwise, a number of the most attractive streets and alleyways are cobbled, which obviously isn't ideal for someone with a walking frame (local seniors certainly don't let this minor inconvenience stop them though).
