Learn more about Bergen

Norway's second-largest city, Bergen is a unique destination where spectacular nature and historic heritage blend beautifully. Nestled between seven mountains and the country's most beautiful fjords, this port city perfectly combines its rich Hanseatic past with a vibrant cultural life. The historic Bryggen district, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, bears witness to this fascinating history with its colourful wooden houses lining the harbour.

What is the best area to stay in Bergen, Norway?

Bergen's historic centre offers an ideal setting for your stay, especially the iconic Bryggen district with its cobbled lanes and preserved architecture. The Sentrum district, the true beating heart of the city, puts you right next to the fish market and the main cultural attractions. For a more peaceful atmosphere, the residential district of Sandviken charms with its authenticity, while Nordnes, a picturesque peninsula, offers magnificent views of the harbour and the fjords.

What is the best time to visit Bergen?

Bergen's magnificent landscapes are at their best from May to September, when mild temperatures invite you to stroll around the city and take excursions into the fjords. July and August offer especially long days, perfect for enjoying the art museums and lively terraces of the city centre.

Spring, from April to May, delights with its crystal-clear light and nature coming back to life, while autumn adorns the city with blazing colours. Lovers of Nordic atmospheres will appreciate winter, from December to March, when Bergen dons its white coat.
