About Bergen

According to Google Analytics, my blog has become famous around Bergen, Norway. I don’t have a clue about what are you looking for here, but you are welcome… Velkommen, Bergen Venner! I have been in Bergen a few months ago and this is my first post about it.

Bergen is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. The center is a small village nearby the sea which has an original architecture – everything looks like a “dream-village” where people live in peace and harmony. You can find harbors for everything: small fishing boats, leasure boats and huge cruise ships. If you get lucky, you’ll find the traditional fish market place open! A nice place to experiment a nice snack with fresh shrimp, salmon and other seafood, right after being caught in the Ocean (by the way, this was our best meal in Norway!).

We took the Oslo – Bergen train. It is considered one of the best train trips of the world. It’s easy to understand that award – the beautiful landscapes from ocean to mountain, passing through green fields, forest and snow plateaus are breath-taking!

    Hi I am making a small web page about the Norwegian composer, Edvard Grieg. His hometown is Bergen. I was wondering if you would mind if I used the picture you have above with the boathouses. If you got the picture from another source, could you refer me to that source?

    Thank you.

    -Aron.

    Hi Aron,

    I found his wonderful work in the UNESCO website, if you search for Bergen.

    Regards
