Bergen, the gateway to the Norwegian fjords, is a charming, rain-washed city of colorful wooden warehouses lining the old Hanseatic wharf — the UNESCO-listed Bryggen. A funicular climbs to a mountaintop panorama, a lively fish market anchors the harbor, and the deep, dramatic fjords begin just beyond the city. It's the most atmospheric base for Norway's coastal scenery.
Bergen is famously rainy — bring a waterproof layer and don't let drizzle stop you (locals certainly don't). The Fløibanen funicular is right in town and gives the best quick payoff if your time is short.
