Thank you for this video! Bergen is a fascinating city, it has ''a postcard beauty''. Your travel guide is complete and useful.

Hey, great travel vlog on Bergen! Just wanted to let you know that the Fantoft Stave Church you visited is actually a replica built in 1997. The original, dating back to around 1150, was tragically burned down in 1992. This arson was part of a series of church burnings by Varg Vikernes. The church that stands today was reconstructed using traditional techniques and old pine timber to closely match the original design

Excellent video! This is the best way to present tourist vlogs, imho (i.e., no images of folks eating food). And I'm adding your ideas to my "to do" list today, as I'm in Bergen on vacation right now.
Subscribed.
Peace.
