Bergen, Norway

Bergen, one of Norway's most popular cities for travelers, is known for its wooden houses, narrow, picturesque alleys and colorful buildings. It is a small, artsy and outdoorsy city, in spite of the frequent rain that keeps the place so green. Like Oslo, Bergen is also an adventure mecca for cycling, kayaking and hiking

Visitors to Bergen can enjoy quaint shops, artist studios and great restaurants at Bryggen, the historic waterfront. At the famous Bergen fish market, many of the merchants speak English, so you can learn lots about fish, a staple of the Norwegian diet.

As for adventure in Bergen, you can start with a hike up and a ride down the cable car right in the middle of town, then progress to kayaking or cycling! www.njord.as
