The second largest city in Norway, Bergen is Known as the “city of seven mountains” and “the gateway to the fjords,”. Just wandering around the harbor and the town is a great way to get acquainted with Bergen’s beauty, especially if you happen to visit on a sunny day. Bryggen: You’ve likely seen pictures of Bryggen on Instagram. These iconic buildings and wharf form a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Bryggen is so pretty that you will want to keep taking photos from every angle. Today’s buildings are not the originals, because the wooden structures of Bryggen have been destroyed by fires over and over, most recently in the Great Fire of 1702. But the current buildings have been built to look exactly like the originals, so you still see them as they were all the way back in history. Fish market The best way to see the culture of a new destination is through its food, and we found that especially true in Bergen. Bergen’s Fish Market is located right around the corner from the Bryggen wharf. This market has been operating in Bergen since the 1200s! The smells, sounds, and overall energy which you feel when you walk through the fish market is unexplainable. Not to mention, you’ll get to try all the delicacies and delicious food in Bergen too! Floyen: If you have planned only a one day visit to Bergen, then the one place that I suggest you to visit is the top of Mount Floyen. Mt. Fløyen is the most accessible of the seven mountains that surround the city. If you are fit, you can walk up to the top in about one hour, but the funicular ride is lovely and will save your time. Grab a seat that lets you look back down into the city and the water as you go up. And when you get to the top, the view overlooking Bergen is magical. You might also come across the resident goats wandering around during summer . St. John's Church also known as The red brick church was built between 1891 and 1894 in the Gothic Revival style. The church seats about 1250 people, making it the largest church in Bergen. Summer is a beautiful time to visit. Daytime temperatures are pleasant. The days are long, so you can cram in a lot in one day in Bergen if you visit between mid-May and early September. Bergen experiences heavy rain fall most of the time which makes it the rainiest city in Europe. But we were lucky not to experience a drop of rain during our visit to this beautiful city. #bergen #bryggen #floyen #norway ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZ4eyjdauc4
