Bergen Travel Guide: Flights & Hotels
Norway · BGO
Bergen is Norway's gateway to the fjords, with the colorful wooden Bryggen wharf (UNESCO-listed), a funicular up Mount Fløyen for panoramic views, and easy connections to the famous Norway in a Nutshell fjord tour. It rains often, which locals take in stride.
May-September is the main season for fjord cruises and hiking, though summer is also peak price and crowds. Pack rain gear regardless of season — Bergen is one of Europe's wettest cities, which is also why the surrounding fjords and forests stay so green.
