08 Apr BERGEN: THE PRETTIEST LITTLE TOWN ON EARTH Posted at 19:04h in Travel blog by Pamela Goding 17 Comments Share There are places that call you for life. Bergen has always been one of those for me, and I spent years after years picturing how it would be to finally see it. There are places that high so much your expectations that when you finally visit them you get disappointed. Well, it was definitely not the case of Bergen. Called also “the city of the seven mountains” Bergen is the second most populous city in Norway, Norway’s busiest port and an UNESCO site with its hanseatic wooden buildings of the “bryggen” wharf. With its maze of colorful roofs, the old town’s little alleys in which to get lost between perfectly designed doors and windows, the warm cafès, the postcard-like port and its frame of fiords and mountains, Bergen will steal your heart, like she did with me. Seeing her waking up at dawn and disappearing in the dusk lighten up with a thousands of lights gleaming like candles was definitely one of the best days of my life. the view from Floyen, the most visited of the seven mountains surrounding Bergen and without any doubt the best view in town the infamous wooden building of the Bryggen Wharf, an UNESCO heritage site and one of the strongest symbols of the city Bryggen as seen from inside: an ancient and fascinating maze made almost entirely in wood spring bashfully making appearance in Bergen a glimpse over the pretty city port Ludvig Holberg’s statue overlooking the main square norwegian buns: another thing you can’t miss while in Bergen 😉 the little alleys of the old town, pretty as a wedding cake a local relaxing in the old town Seriously, is there a prettiest little town in the World??
