Bergen, Norway’s second-largest city, is nestled among seven mountains on the edge of a fjord. Known as the “City of Rain” — with over 200 rainy days a year — the city has forged a charm all its own. The colorful wooden houses along the Bryggen wharf form a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Bergen’s most iconic landmark. As the gateway to Norway’s fjords, the Fløibanen funicular offers sweeping views of the city and surrounding waters. Bergen is also the hometown of classical music legend Edvard Grieg, and the annual Bergen International Festival each June draws music lovers from around the world. Fresh seafood at the fish market, specialty coffee shops in the old quarter, and Nordic art collections at the KODE museums give the city both natural grandeur and cultural depth. Accommodation options cluster around three main areas — the Bryggen old wharf, Torgallmenningen city center, and the train station vicinity — ranging from top-tier boutique hotels to excellent-value chain brands.
