Bergen

Bergen is one of the most attractive cities in Norway. Bergen was the seat of kings, as well as one of the departure points for Vikings who roamed the North Atlantic and Mediterranean in the Middle Ages. The main attractions are the shops in a handsome row of 18th-century wooden warehouses, Mariakirke a 12th-century church, the Bryggen Museum, the surprisingly uplifting Leprosy Museum and the Hanseatic Museum.
