Surrounded by awe-inspiring natural beauty, Bryggen is the perfect gateway to explore Norway's great outdoors. Embark on a fjord cruise and marvel at cascading waterfalls, towering cliffs, and snow-capped peaks. Lace up your hiking boots and trek through lush forests and rugged terrain.

Norway - Stroll trough Bergen
It’s maybe one of the most famous town in Norway: Bergen.
A pretty busy place, where many cruise ships stops. Famous not only for the fish market, but also for the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Bryggen. I extend my stroll bit around town, just to get some more impressions before i left it again.
