Useful links to Bergen

Printable version

Bergen is Norway’s second largest city, with the facilities of a large city, and the charm and atmosphere of a small city, with its wooden houses and narrow cobbled streets. Bryggen is the old trading wharf that still looks the same as it did when the town was in its infancy.

Bryggen is the face of Bergen. But more than that – Bryggen is a port of our collective cultural heritage and has its place on UNESCO’s World Heritage List. Therefore Bergen too is classified a World Heritage City.

Bergen is surrounded by one of the world’s greatest tourist attractions, the Norwegian fjords. The city is the Gateway to these natural masterpieces, which continue to amaze the Norwegian people, let alone our international visitors. The Norwegian fjords have now been included on UNESCO’s World Heritage List.
