Bergen is also worth a visit in its own right. This historic town with medieval roots has a compact city center with a vibrant cultural lifeand an impressive range of restaurants. In the middle of town there is another UNESCO heritage to explore; the Hanseatic wharf Bryggen, which goes back to the 12th century and is still going strong with lots of cozy cafés, bars and artisan workshops.
Surrounded by seven mountains ("bergen" means mountains in Norwegian), you have easy access to fabulous nature and grand views from the city center.
The airline Norwegian takes you nonstop to Bergen in only around 7 hours from New York (Newburgh) and Providence. With flights starting at $99, there has never been a better time to experience the marvel of the Norwegian fjords.
It has never been easier to get to the fjords – now nonstop from two US East Coast airports.
Bryggen, the old wharf of Bergen, has been a place of trade for a thousand years. But now the wares have changed.
