Living in Bergen

Life in Norway’s Bergen Blog: Our comprehensive guide to Norway’s second city.

Bergen Norway is known as the city of the seven mountains. It’s not difficult to see why, as the city’s spectacular natural setting is one of its main draws.

While tourists flock to the World Heritage neighbourhood Bryggen, there’s so much more to see in the city. A stave church, massive art museum, aquarium and some top restaurants are just some of the city’s must-dos. And of course, the world-famous Oslo to Bergen railway is the best way to arrive.

We also cover what it’s like to live in Bergen. Away from the tourist sites, many locals head to the fantastic hiking trails in and around the city.

Please enjoy our Bergen blog!
