Grieghallen is Bergen´s main concert hall and famous landmark, known for its great acoustic and enthusiastic audience, but also a place fot the big occations. It is located just behind the KODE museums. The building was designed by Danish architect Knud Munk, an apprentice of Arne Jacobsen, who is also known for other signal buildings like the Tycho Brahe Planetarium by Søerne in Copenhagen. It is mainly built in concrete, steel and glass which was unusual at the time it was finished. Grieghallen was built during a period from 1967 to 1978, including a construction break from 1969 to 1975 due to financial challenges. It recieved international fame when it was the host for the Eurovision Song Contest in 1986, but also as the center point of the annual Bergen International Festival in the end of May each year. In addition to the main concert hall with 1610 seats, the building has several other areas used both for exhibitions, concerts, conferences and banquets. One of the best places in Bergen to have a party is in the famous foyer - the characteristic tip of Grieghallen, under the 1166 lightbulbs hanging from the ceiling. Or if you want something special, it is even possible to rent the 800 m2 stage and have a party here. It also has a combined underground parking space and conference area which can seat over 2000 guests.
