You begin your voyage in Bergen, a vibrant coastal city founded in 1070 by King Olav Kyrreand now the second largest in the country. It owes its modern prosperity in part to the influential 14th century German trading organisation, the Hanseatic League, who maintained a strong presence in Bergen for 400 years. From the centre of the city, you'll definitely want to visit the charming UNESCO-listed Bryggen quarter. The area features the restored wharves of Bergen's historic Hanseatic era, built on medieval foundations from the 12th century. Wander 42 the cobblestone backstreets for small galleries featuring local art and boutiques selling artisanal goods. Justacross the street from Bryggen, you'll find the Fish Market. This bustling market, which also serves delicious meals, has been here in the centre of Bergen since the 1200s. The outdoor section is open from May and through- out summer while the indoor fish market is open year-round. Bergen is known as the “City of Seven Mountains” although there is much debate among locals as to which of the 17surrounding mountains actually make up the “Seven”. Two that always make the list though are Mount Floyen and Mount Ulriken. Reach the peak ofMount Ulriken by cable car, or ride the Floibanen funicular to the top of Mount Floyen. You'll be treated to incredible views of the city either way. For cultural considerations, KODEis the place to go.
