Bergen, situated on Norway’s west coast, is famous for its UNESCO-listed Bryggen wharf, colorful wooden houses, and vibrant fish market. The city serves as a gateway to some of Norway’s most stunning fjords, including the majestic Sognefjord. Payments are made in Norwegian Krone (NOK), and travelers should be prepared for a higher price level, especially in tourist areas. Bergen has a mild, oceanic climate with relatively high rainfall throughout the year, making it one of the wettest cities in Norway, though it enjoys mild summers.
