"Colorful Wharf Houses, Majestic Fjords & Gateway to Norway's Soul"

Bergen, Norway's second-largest city, is one of Scandinavia's most beautiful and atmospheric destinations. The UNESCO-listed Bryggen wharf, with its iconic row of colorful 14th-century Hanseatic merchant houses, is among the most photographed scenes in Northern Europe. Take the Floibanen funicular railway to the summit of Mount Floyen for panoramic views over the city's red rooftops and harbor. Bergen is also the primary gateway to Norway's legendary fjords - Sognefjord (the world's longest and deepest), Hardangerfjord, and the extraordinary Naeroyfjord (UNESCO), all within a day trip or short ferry ride away.
