Welcome to my hometown Bergen—Norway’s most beautiful city—where seven mountains rise around a working harbor and every shift of light redraws the streets. At its heart, Bryggen’s iconic heritage and old-town atmosphere hold fast in weathered timber lanes, while trams, boats, and footpaths keep the present in motion. From this gateway to the fjords, Bergen is a natural base for scenic boat trips and rail loops. Climb the surrounding peaks and the map opens: west to open ocean, east to the glow of Folgefonna glacier. Start below and move from quays to lookouts, from intimate alleys to sweeping horizons.
