Bergen is beatiful City...though we tour this city briefly during our June Scandinavia Tour 2008 and was obstructed by heavy rain the scenic and historical of it city captivate us to come and visit again.

My fav place in the world was where I lived in a tiny farming community as a child in the Province of Alberta, CANADA. It was called "Bergen" and boasted the Bergen General Store, the Bergen Community Hall, the Bergen Missionary Church and a handful of farms and that's all. I LOVED IT THERE! What I didn't know until I grew up is that MY Bergen had been settled a few generations before by a handful of Norwegian families from the Big Bergen in Norway who must have been homesick for the "old country". You never know where [or when] history will suddenly jump up and bite you.

Beautiful city! I'd like to one day visit Norway, Bergen in particular. My sister-in-law was born in Bergen.

Beloved city I wish to visit one day, plus the fjords. Fell in love with Norway in 1985 as I travelled my Grade 7 atlas.

Good video. My wife and I were just here in October and really enjoyed it. Of course we used our Rick Steves' Scandinavia book to help guide us around Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, and Estonia :-)

Ålesund is my favourite one in Norway too- so romantically charming, but windy, even in summer.

[claudealain]

ça donne envie d'y aller... et j'apprécie le caractère nordique tel que je me le représente, fait de simplicité, de vigueur, d'honnêteté et de tant d'autres choses que je ne soupçonne même pas.

[Travagsta]

Visiting Bergen soon! Thanks for the information. Great video!

I live in Bergen, and if I were to show a friend who was not from Norway around, I would've chosen 17th of May, 1st of December, or any part of june/july/august.

17th of May is the national day of Norway, and as far as I know, it's far more celebrated than in nearly any other country. Streets are PACKED, and there's lots to see. 1st of December brings on "festival of lights", celebrating the first sunday of advent.

Other than that, winter and autumn is rainy, so try to visit during summer.

Amazing. This is what You Tube should be all about !!! Many thanks.

I wonder how those old timber houses in Sandviken compare with the modern ones in terms of construction methods. Some of them look just like the typical 1950s suburban home in North Carolina West Virginia and etc

Bergen er min favoritt by i hele verden :)

Med venlig hilsen fra Shetland!.

When it doesn't rain, Bergen is a really beautiful city to walk around in. The two most beautiful Norwegian cities, in my opinion, is Ålesund (or Aalesund, for those who lacks letters in their alphabet :D ) and Bergen.
