Known as the 'Gateway to the Fjords', Norway's second city Bergen is also one of its most attractive. Bergen has a delightful natural setting, with seven imposing mountains surrounding it on three sides forming a dramatic backdrop for the rainbow-painted houses that cling all the way down to the waterfront. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage site.
With its sheltered harbour and the proximity to rich fishing grounds, Bergen quickly established itself as one of Norway's most important trading ports (not least because of the discovery of oil in the North Sea in the mid 1960s) and an international business and tourist centre.
The area has the dubious honour of experiencing one of Europe's highest average annual rainfall counts. However, this should not spoil a visit to Bergen, as there is plenty to do indoors - Bergen has some of the country's best museums and art galleries.
