Bergen

Bergen is a charming old city with a young outlook. As you fly into Bergen, you’ll see the stunning cliffs rising out of the sea and the fjord surrounded by majestic mountains. In the Middle Ages, Bergen was the largest city in Scandinavia and it wasn’t until the 1830s that Oslo’s population overtook that of Bergen. However, Bergen retains its status as an important port city. The dramatic scenery, a lively music scene and a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere make Bergen a very popular destination.
