Bergen

About the place

Bergen, the "Pearl of Norway's Southwest Coast," awaits you between the sea and the mountains. Nicknamed the "Gateway to the Fjords," this city blends the allure of an ancient Nordic port with the omnipresence of nature. Its charm is immediate, with colorful houses, cobblestone streets, fishing boats, and accessible mountain peaks.

Seven iconic mountains surround the city, shaping the horizon and offering immediate access to spectacular hikes, some of which start right in the city center. The historic district of Bryggen, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, immerses you in the Hanseatic past with its wooden facades and secret alleys. In Bergen, history and nature coexist in rare harmony. It is the perfect starting point for exploring Norway on foot, where you can experience both a lively urban atmosphere and wide open spaces.
