'''Nesttun'''<ref name="name">{{Cite web |title=Informasjon om stadnamn |url=https://stadnamn.kartverket.no/fakta/430851 |access-date=2026-01-01|website=Norgeskart |publisher=[[Norwegian Mapping Authority|Kartverket]] |language=no}}</ref> is an urban settlement in the borough of [[Fana, Bergen|Fana]] in [[Bergen Municipality]] in [[Vestland]] county, Norway. It is located approximately {{convert|10|km}} south of the city centre of [[Bergen (city)|Bergen]]. It was the centre of the old [[Fana Municipality]], which merged with Bergen Municipality in 1972, and is today the centre of the borough of Fana. Nesttun contains a mall, several smaller shops, a library, and [[Birkeland Church (Bergen)|Birkeland Church]].
==Climate== A problem facing Nesttun is [[flooding]] after heavy rain. In 2005, heavy rain caused the river that flows through the town to break its banks. A 2014 article in [[Fanaposten]] said that the municipality has taken too few measures to avoid flooding of the magnitude of the 2005 flooding.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2014-03-14 |title=Flomkrangel |language=Norwegian |work=Fanaposten |url=https://ekstern.filer.uib.no/matnat/gfi/media/PDF/2014/Helge_Drange_Fanaposten_14032014.pdf}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=2005-01-15 |title=Sa nei til flomsikring - i går rant Nesttun over |language=Norwegian |work=Bergens Tidende |url=http://www.bt.no/lokalt/bergen/article196526.ece |access-date=2007-05-01}}</ref>
==Transport== Until the opening of the [[Ulriken Tunnel]] in 1964, Nesttun was a station on the [[Bergensbanen]] railway, and a station on the [[Nesttun-Osbanen]] railway until its closure in 1935. After lengthy construction work, the two double-lane roads which went through the centre of Nesttun were converted into a pedestrian mall and a single-lane road. Nesttun is a major [[Junction (traffic)|traffic junction]] of the Bergen area, and this status was strengthened in 2010, when the first phase of the [[Bergen Light Rail|Bergen Light Rail system]] is completed. Buses to the city centre of Bergen depart Nesttun every five minutes.
==Culture== ===Education=== There are several schools in the immediate vicinity of Nesttun. Midtun skole and Slåtthaug ungdomsskole are located directly to the south, the former being an [[elementary school]] and the latter a [[lower secondary school]]. Ulsmåg skole, an elementary school, is located to the east of Nesttun. The closest upper secondary schools are [[Fana gymnas]], the [[Steiner-Waldorf school|Rudolf Steiner school]] of Bergen, and [[Slåtthaug videregående skole]], as well as [[Bjørkåsen videregående skole]], a [[special school]] for [[deaf]] students.
