Within 90 ft. on the right-hand side, you'll see the civic government's contribution to fresh air and exercise, the Sykkelheis (Municipal Bicycle Lift). This mechanized conveyor belt (most of which is concealed underground) hauls bicycles, with their riders, up a steeply inclined stretch of a scenic bike path. The cost for 15 minutes of continuous operation is 100NOK ($13), which you can pay by inserting coins into the machine's coin slot.
From the Sykkelheis, retrace your steps downhill, and turn left onto Øvre Bakklandet.Right around the corner, behind the vine-covered brown-plank facade of one of the first buildings on your right, you can take a lunch break at Den Gode Nabo (The Good Neighbor), Øvre Bakklandet 66 (tel. +73 87 42 40).
Now, retrace your steps back across the Old Town Bridge. When you reach the other side, turn left onto Kjøpmannsgata and walk for about a minute. When Kjøpmannsgata intersects with Bispegate, turn right.
