You can also sample locally caught seafood. How about some king crab?

Bergen, the gateway to the fjords, is Norway’s second-largest city and a UNESCO World Heritage treasure. Perched on the west coast and embraced by seven mountains, this Nordic gem invites you to breathe in crisp mountain air and lose yourself in its storybook landscapes.

Must-Sees:

Good to Know:
The currency is the Norwegian krone (NOK). Bergen is easily explored on foot, while the Fløibanen funicular and Ulriken cable car help with the hills.
