Bergen, Port city in Western Norway
Bergen spans across 465 square kilometers between seven mountains, with colorful wooden buildings along the waterfront and narrow cobblestone streets throughout the center.
Founded in 1070 by King Olav Kyrre, Bergen served as Norway's capital during the 13th century and developed into a major Hanseatic League trading center.
The KODE museum complex contains four buildings with Nordic art collections, including works from Edvard Munch and Nikolai Astrup spanning multiple centuries.
The Fløibanen funicular railway takes passengers to Mount Fløyen's summit in six minutes, offering direct access to hiking trails and panoramic views.
The fish market in Bergen has operated continuously since 1276, making it one of Norway's oldest outdoor markets still serving fresh seafood daily.
