Bergen

The pretty town of Bergen is situated on the south west coast of Norway on the Byfjorden among the Seven Mountains.

The pretty wooden houses and four-storey high shops line the Hanseatic era wharf which leads into the quaint cobbled streets of the old town.

Shopping ranges from individual antique shops to the Lagunen Storsenter in the district of Fana. Bergen is popular with cruise ships and tourists who enjoy the magnificent scenery around the area. It hosts many festivals and cultural celebrations during the year, all accompanied by the many local brass bands.
