36 Hours in Bergen, Norway [View all]

Before setting off for nearby fjords and waterfalls, explore the cultural scene and Nordic cuisine of this beguiling coastal city.

'Many come to Bergen in pursuit of nearby nature, to see the dramatic fjords and waterfalls and misty mountain peaks of Norway’s southwestern coast. But before you are whisked away on a cruise ship or hiking tour, it’s worth exploring the city itself, Norway’s second largest. Although visitors typically head straight for the historic harbor, locals have been busy elsewhere, developing an all-are-welcome cultural scene where black-metal bands reign, New Nordic cuisine rules, and the number of excellent art museums befits a city where rain is almost always in the forecast. So pack an umbrella, and save the fjords for later — they’re not going anywhere.'>>>
