What to do in
Bergen ?
While Bergen is among Norway’s major cities, it’s kept its intimate size and cosy atmosphere. Its multicolour wooden houses, impeccably aligned along the port, pay testament to the attachment people here have to their history and traditions. But charming as it is, this Scandinavian city won’t be able to keep you for your entire trip. Because nature is calling! And what incredible nature it is! The region has some of the most beautiful landscapes one can find in the land of the Vikings.
