🎣 Campelen på Bryggen – Bergen’s Hidden Fishing Gear Treasure

If you’re spending time in Bergen and you love fishing – or you’re just curious about trying it – there’s one shop you should know about: Campelen på Bryggen. This small but well-stocked fishing store is a true gem tucked away among the historic buildings of Bryggen, Bergen’s most iconic waterfront area.

Not right in front – and that’s part of the charm

Campelen isn’t one of those shops you’ll stumble across while snapping photos of Bryggen’s colourful façades. You’ll need to walk into a narrow alley from the main promenade to find it, but trust us – it’s worth the few extra steps. Their address is Bredsgården 2, 5003 Bergen, nestled in some of the most beautiful and historic architecture the city has to offer.
It feels like you’re discovering something secret – and in many ways, you are.

Local knowledge

What makes Campelen special isn’t just the charming location, but the genuine expertise behind the counter. These are people who live and breathe fishing. Whether you’re wondering which lure works best for coastal pollock, or you need help choosing a rod for fjord fishing, they’re happy to share tips and advice.

Their selection covers a wide range of gear, from starter kits to top-of-the-line rods and reels, as well as accessories and gadgets you didn’t know you needed. It’s one of those places where even experienced anglers tend to linger just a little longer than planned.

Where we gear up

At Arch Adventures, we always provide everything you need for our tours – whether you’re heading out on a fjord cruise or a dedicated fishing trip. You don’t need to bring your own rod or even know how to cast. We’ll take care of that.

But for those who catch the fishing bug – and that happens more often than you’d think – we always recommend a visit to Campelen if you’re thinking of getting your own equipment. It’s where we buy much of our gear too, and it’s a shop we’re happy to support.

A quiet stop for passionate anglers

Campelen på Bryggen isn’t flashy. It doesn’t need to be. It’s the kind of place that prioritises quality, service and passion for the sport – in other words, exactly the kind of place you’d hope to find in a fishing town like Bergen.
