Bergen

Norway

Best for: Sea, Rain, Mild, Architecture, Chill, Cozy, Nature Only, Cool, Walking Tours, Four Seasons

Colourful wharf, fjords at the door, and rain that keeps the hills green. Bergen is Norway's second city—compact, cosy, and the start of fjord adventures.

Bryggen is the UNESCO wharf; Fløyen gives the view. Day trips to Sognefjord or Hardanger. Pack a jacket—Bergen is one of Europe's rainiest cities, and that's why it's so green.
