Coming second to the largest city in Norway, Bergen is abundant with charming pastel houses that dot the city’s little streets, surrounded by seven hills and seven fjords. Made up of a mishmash of culture, nature and originality, its heritage dates to the early Middle Ages where it stood as an important seaport, now protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It’s super clean and super functional, so you’ll definitely enjoy this cozy coastal town.

Lose yourself at one of Bergen’s simplest pleasures, as you take in the atmosphere of the intimate waterfront community… The 58 buildings cover 13,000 sq metres, each with stone/wooden foundations. The old wharf is a twinkling gem that is enchanting without a doubt, with houses remaining intact even after fires centuries ago.

With heaps of hills and fjords to choose from, can you imagine how many sports and recreational activities are offered? With plenty of opportunities for walks in various mountainous and forested terrains, choose from the seven mountains of Ulriken, Fløyen, Løvstakken, Damsgårdsfjellet, Sandviksfjellet, Lyderhorn or Rundemanen (did y’all actually try and pronounce them in yer heads?). All offering a stunning view of the city and its surrounds, just choose your preferred level of difficulty and revel in its grandeur!
