Bergen’s colourful wooden waterfront houses bring this part of southwestern Norway to life. Bergen is a really beautiful city and one way to appreciate it is to take the funicular up Floyen Mountain, around 400 metres above sea level. There are hiking trails, jaw-dropping views and a restaurant at the top, so you can choose to continue your day in a variety of ways.

Bergen’s fish market is also worth a visit to see the colourful catches of the day and also eat some super-fresh seafood in one of the restaurants. When you look skywards in Bergen, you’ll likely see one of the seven mountains that surround the city, providing a picture-postcard backdrop to this delightful Scandinavian destination.
