The 'Gateway to the Norwegian Fjords', one of the world's most spectacular tourist attractions, Bergen is not only a popular port of call for cruisers but also a fantastic city to visit in its own right. Packed with tradition and history, it is a fair-sized city with small-town charm and atmosphere. Its old Hanseatic wharf is perhaps one of Norway's most familiar images, whilst its colourful harbour is one of the city's most popular spots for photographs. Bergen is situated between Sognefjord and the beautiful Hardangerfjord, making it ideally placed to explore the rest of the fjords on a sightseeing tour.
