The full address is Høyteknologisenteret i Bergen (High Technology Center in Bergen), Thormøhlensgate 55, N-5008, Bergen.

All references are made to this map. The Høyteknologisenteret is on the right edge of the map. The Bergen Center for Computational Science (BCCS) is located in the rightmost of two connected buildings (known as Datablokk). The main office is on the 3rd floor (4.etg in Norwegian).

From the airport
From the airport, you can either take a taxi to Høyteknologisenteret (20-25 minutes, cost approx. 250 NOK) or you can take an airport bus to the main bus terminal (cost 65 NOK) and walk (10 minutes, cost 0 NOK). The main bus terminal is situated to the right of the lake in the center of the map and marked "Bystasjonen" (but also known as "Bergen Storsenter") and is marked yellow.

By train
The train station ("Jernbanestasjon") is situated just above the main bus terminal (100 m) and marked yellow. It takes ca 10 minutes to walk to the Høyteknologisenteret.

By car
Many of the streets in Bergen are one way and it is therefore easy to get lost. However, all major roads leading into Bergen end up in the spaghetti junction shown on the right side of the map. Untangle yourself from this junction and head towards the center of the town ("Fjøsangerveien", E39). At the end of the road at the T-junction with traffic lights position yourself in the leftmost lane. Turn left heading down "Strømgaten". Again place yourself in the left lane and make a new left turn into "Lars Hilles gate". Now position yourself in the right lane. After the first traffic lights, follow the lane to the right so that you are heading back on the E39. You are now traveling in the opposite direction on the road you just arrived on. At the next traffic lights, make a right turn down "Hans Tanks gate". Position yourself in the left lane and turn left at the traffic lights. You are now (again) heading down "Lars Hilles gate". Follow this to the roundabout in "Nygårdsgaten" (500 meters). On the roundabout take the first exit to the right. You're now in Thormøhlensgate. Høyteknologisenteret is the first (grey/blue) building on your left side. There is a visitor parking right in front of the building (pay by the hour). There is also a parking area to the left of the building where you can pay for a whole day (cheaper if you are staying more than a few hours).
