Bergen

Bergen became a part of Norwegian cycling history when the city hosted the UCI Road World Championships in 2017. With Fløyen as the centre, the individual time trial became a folk festival.

Bergen is a European City of Culture, and the city has had a strong cultural identity ever since the merchant’s brought life to the harbor around Bryggen in the 1300s. Today, Bergen is a cultural melting pot, with a wide range of concerts, international festivals, and museums of all kinds. 

In the recent years, Bergen has become known as an international culinary city, and in 2015 Bergen earned the UNESCO title City of Gastronomy. Great food and drinks are important to the people in Bergen, and seafood is perhaps what Bergen is most known for. The local Fish Market is a popular tourist attraction and place to sample the local delicacies.

From Bergen, you are also close to the spectacular fjords. Either if you want to go on a fjord tour, try yourself with mountain and glacier hiking in the majestic mountain landscape, skiing in some of Norway’s best terrains, biking along the beautiful fjord arms or explore the wet elements with water rafting or fishing in the ocean along the beautiful coast.
