Bergen, however you want it.

Welcome to Bergen, the charming old city with a youthful spirit! As you fly into Bergen, be prepared to be mesmerized by the stunning cliffs rising out of the sea and the fjord surrounded by majestic mountains. Bergen was the largest city in Scandinavia during the Middle Ages and retains its status as an important port city. The city's lively music scene, dramatic scenery, and pleasant atmosphere make it a popular destination for travellers. Bergen is surrounded by seven mountains, making it a picturesque location. The Bergenhus district has well-preserved medieval buildings, while the Klosteret area boasts beautiful 18th-century wooden houses and charming alleys for a leisurely stroll. The city centre extends from the main square, Torget, to the Nygård area, where you can find most shops and restaurants. Bergen has a rich history of trade with countries all over Europe and was awarded its city charter as early as 1070 by King Olav Kyrre. The old Hanseatic Wharf, Bryggen, is located in the harbour called Vågen and is still visible. The old wooden buildings are on the UNESCO world heritage list and have been damaged by fire several times.
