Call to Bergen, Norway

After taking in the majestic scenery of the fjords, the ship called at Bergen, a port city on Norway’s western coast. The Bryggen district, a UNESCO World Heritage site facing the harbor, is lined with triangular-roofed wooden buildings that reflect its history as a thriving center of the Hanseatic League since the Middle Ages. Although Bergen is Norway’s second-largest city after Oslo, the mountains rising behind the town and the trees that add color to its streets create a peaceful, pastoral atmosphere. As we explored this picturesque, painting-like city, we were able to fully experience the charm of the Nordic air.
