The county extends from wave-battered islands and sheltered coastal communities to valleys, waterfalls and upland terrain. Bergen, Vestland’s largest city, developed as a Hanseatic trading centre; its wooden Bryggen wharf is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Maritime life, mountain routes and farming communities meet here.
