Bergen

Bergen should be on the first place of this list of the top 10 coastal cities in Norway, undoubtedly. It is one of the largest cities in Norway. The thing that distinguishes it from other cities is that it was able to keep the charm and the atmosphere of a small town. The beauty of this city centres around Bryggen, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This focuses on a historic harbour lined with quintessential seaside buildings in quirky colours. Be sure to wander behind the buildings for a free history lesson! It is here you will find great art studios and galleries. There is a strong sense of supporting locals artisans, which is prominent in Scandinavian culture.

Here, you will smell the fresh seaside scent blended with local food from some of the many top-class restaurants along the waterfront. But Bergen offers more than just food and sea. Norway’s second largest city is known for the seven mountains surrounding the city centre, their many cultural events, and the world-famous popstars Kygo and Alan Walker.
