- the home of Edvard Grieg, 'Troldhaugen' (great composer)
- bergen aquarium(seals and penguins playing in the large pools welcome you to the aquarium that has as one of europe's largest collections of fish and invertebrates actually!)
- mount floyen: the popular funicular railway to the top of Fløien from where you will enjoy a spectacular view of the city.
- 'Bryggen' is the name of the world famous waterfront in Bergen. the characteristic parallel rows of buildings, with their seaward-facing gables represent a building tradition dating back almost 900 years. the old wooden buildings along the harbor front in Bergen were placed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 1980.
- the Hanseatic Museum,it is situated in one of the old trade houses at Bryggen.it is just down the street from where i live now,so i went there some weeks ago. the museum has old interiors from the 18th and 19th centuries.the Hanseatic League had one of their foreign Offices at Bryggen in Bergen from approx. 1360 until 1754.
- Hakon's hall; the largest and most imposing building of the royal residency in the 13th-century. center of Bergen. 600 meters from the fish market
- Stave church originally built in Fortun in Sogn&Fjordane in 1150. It is in Paradis, approx. 6 km from center of Bergen
The city is intimate, and has personality with it's narrow valleys, lots of comfortable&snugly cafè's, the white wooden houses.. it is nice to walk around here. Many toursists like the fishmarket, personally i hate the smell of fish -it isn't my favourite-type-of-smell.
Ofcourse the fjords are worth to visit.. if you're in Bergen, you should also visit my home-county Sogn&Fjordane, to see more of the fjords, the worlds longest fjord. The region where this deep fjord meets the glaciers and Norway’s highest mountains is considered one of the world's most beautiful travel destinations. The greatest attraction of the Sognefjord is its immense variety of landforms gathered in one and the same region - from wide-open fjord landscapes and green hills to narrow fjord arms, massive mountain ranges and spectacular blue glaciers - creating the natural settings for small, idyllic fruit-growing villages, modern communities and isolated mountain farms. i could go on you know, i guess it's enough for now :)
