Troldhaugen
Troldhaugen is the former home of composer Edvard Grieg, set in a wooded garden on a lake south of Bergen’s center. Entry is paid. The house, the composer’s hut where he wrote, and his grave by the lake are preserved. Lunchtime concerts happen in the concert hall in summer. Budget travelers take the cheap light rail, pay the modest ticket, and see where Grieg composed Peer Gynt and the Piano Concerto in A minor. The setting explains the music.
