Bergen

Built around a sheltered harbour on Byfjorden, Bergen grew into Norway’s second-largest city and a historic Atlantic trading port. The UNESCO-listed Bryggen wharf, with its narrow wooden merchant buildings, recalls the city’s role as a Hanseatic office from the 14th to the 18th centuries. Bergen is traditionally associated with seven surrounding mountains; Mount Fløyen is reached by the Fløibanen funicular above the central harbour. Rain is part of local life, alongside the fish market, maritime traditions and the cultural energy of a major university city.
