You would like to know the second larger city, one of the most important and respected one of the most beautiful of Norway? Genial, then we enlist the suitcases to go to Bergen. To arrive here we should direct us to the county of Hordaland, located in the southwest coast of the country.
What more we know on Bergen? That is a city that harbors 373.224 inhabitants and that sits on a beautiful mountainous valley known as that of “The Seven Mountains” or “Of Syv Fjell”. You knew that Bergen is the entrance to the famous Norwegian fjords? Yes, from here you can enter to the Fascinating freshwater glacial valleys! Surely if you think carries out a cruiser by Norway will pass for the port of this city!
At present Bergen is also known like the city of the culture so do not lose the opportunity to give a great walk by the city and thus to know its 8 most beautiful neighborhoods: Arna, Bergenhus, Fana, Fyllingsdalen, Laksevåg, Ytrebygda, Årstad and ÅHeal. If you desire to carry out a tour by the city we recommend you to direct you to the old part of the city where will locate to the Bay they to Wander. What can we see here? To the Spring or Pier Bryggen. It is a matter of a historic neighborhood of the city that harbors a series of picturesque houses old facts in wood that date from the 18th century. If we continue walking we will be able to observe to the Church of Holy María, considered as the oldest building of the city. The religious buildings interest you? We have you some good news then…Here you will be able to enter to several other medieval churches among which fits to emphasize that of Korskirken. Something more? Yes, not to stop visiting the Fortress of Bergenhus, the Real Parlor Haakon, and the Tower Rosenkrantz. Some another tourist attraction? Clearly that yes. You take a walk by the open-air Market, perhaps find something that the attention call you to buy! If you prefer can also direct you to the business district of Bergen which not alone will charm you for which offers for sale, but by its style of art nouveau. What seems you to take a walk by funicular? Really an experience very entertained therefore you will rise toward the Mount Floyen. Since this point you will be able to have a spectacular view pan of the city. It prepares the camera.
You want to know the history of the city? Perfect…I lend attention: Bergen was based on the year 1070 by the King Olav Kyrre known as the Tranquil or Peaceful King. Another interesting fact is that this city was respected like the capital of the country in the century XIII and continued being it until 1299, moment in which Oslo passed to take its place! By the same fact that is a matter of a port, you will imagine that in several occasions was attacked by the pirates! Yes, the fact summit was when in 1429 they set on fire the Real Castle and to almost all the city! What pity! Another not very pleasant event in the history of Bergen was the Battle they to Wander where was faced England (to See cheap hotels in London) and Norway. In 1916 the city be set on fire again and already in World War Two was occupied by the Nazis.
Before leaving keep in mind that Bergen is known like the City of the Rain so carries waterproof clothes and an umbrella of all ways. In the season from winter the temperature can arrive to the less 16 degrees centigrade…How cold! And on the contrary during the summer can reach the 30 degrees.
To finalize we recommend you that not to stop attending to two of the most important events culturally speaking: the Nattjazz and the Bergenfest. If you like the music, above all the jazz will thank it us
