Maybe you’ve never heard of the charming Norwegian city surrounded by mountains and fjords and Northern Lights; maybe you just need an extra push to go. Either way, here are some of the reasons Bergen, Norway, should definitely be on your travel radar.
- It’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the world’s most unspoiled tourist destination.
Home to some of the oldest painted wooden buildings, dating back to 1702, and a history spanning 900 years, Bergen is proud to be a UNESCO World Heritage City. National Geographic also named it the world’s most unspoiled tourist destination. The city is full of history for you to uncover.
- Unique and Striking Beauty
From the tiny painted houses to the winding fjords and seven totally picturesque mountains, Bergen is strikingly beautiful. Catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights or experience the wonder of the sun staying up until midnight in this whimsical city.
- Great Nightlife
Although small, the population of students in the city makes for a lively nightlife. Saturdays are the best nights to go out, and the party doesn’t start until well after 11 p.m.
As the country’s busiest seaport, it’s no wonder Bergen has an incredible fish market. The fish market existed since the 1200s and is one of Norway’s most visited outdoor attractions. The historic and exciting market draws in visitors from around the world.
- Adventure
Whether you wish to hike one of the gorgeous seven mountains, take a cruise through the picturesque fjords or ride a sunset cable car up Mount Urliken, Bergen has something for the adventurous at heart.
