The `Gateway to the Fjords’, Bergen is a university town, the second largest city in Norway, and one of the most enchanting cities in the country. A busy port, the main harbour is invariably packed with sailing vessels of every kind. Despite the commercial and industrial activity, Bergen manages to retain a warmth and friendliness that is very inviting. Bergen is a tourist’s delight: lots of medieval buildings, great atmosphere - whether you go to a local bar or the wharf - and a number of excellent museums.

To top it all, the city offers some of the best entertainment that you’re likely to find in Norway in the way of music and theatre. Add to that the fact that Bergen is in day-trip proximity of the country, picturesque hills and stunning fjords.
