Welcome to Bergen!

As I told you in my last post I was going to show you Bergen, Norway.

This is a great city to start your journey in Norway as it is easy to get here and also close to a lot of nice places and fjords.
The city itself is vibrant with alot of history and culture, and a popular city for both norwegians and tourist to visit.
But first I want to show you some of the nearby attractions that you can easy visit from Bergen.

But lets get back to Bergen and the top 5 things to do:

  1. Bryggen; These old harbour buildings are on UNESCO’s World Heritage list. (Like the pyramids of Egypt, The Great Wall of China and the Sydney Opera House!) Every year, about 600,000 people visit Bryggen, and it is not hard to understand why. The unmistakable smell of weathered wood and tar lends the buildings its unique atmosphere. Walking the cobbled streets and alleys, you get to experience the same sights and sounds as the merchants who visited Bergen hundreds of years ago.

  2. Mount fløien; Take Fløibanen funicular to the top of Mount Fløyen. Magnificent view of Bergen, great children's playground and ideal for mountain walks.

  3. Ulrikken643;

  4. Edvard Grieg Museum Troldhaugen; Beautiful Troldhaugen is the home of the world known composer Edvard Grieg, and one of Bergen’s most famous tourist attractions. Edvard Grieg lived and worked here together with his wife during the 22 last years of his life.

  5. The Fish Market; Just next to Bryggen you find "Fisketorget" - the Fish Market, where Bergeners have bought their fresh fish and other goods through the years. These days, you mostly find sea food and other local delicacies here. Luckily, you can taste it all in one of the many outlets and food stalls in the summer season. Nothing beats fresh seafood served right next to the fjord. Afterwards, the rest of the city is at your feet, ready to be explored and experienced.
