The plan for Bergen, Norway: walking tour of town center and the outdoor food market on the harbor; visit to the historic Brygen; and ride up the mountain by funicular to get a great view over the city.
Please subscribe: bit.ly/2pmdyeu
Our walking tour will have a look at downtown and some of the quiet residential neighborhoods.
A short walk to the edge of town brings you to the funicular which takes you up the Floyen Mountain for a marvelous view across the city from a 1000-foot high observation perch. The ride just takes eight minutes, making this an easy excursion. At the top you get a spectacular view of the town of Bergen and the harbor, making a nice way to start the day. We then explore the town, old and new.
One of the fun activities is a visit to the colorful open-air food market at the harbor, especially busy in the summertime, rich with fresh produce, fish and meat. They have fruits and sandwiches to go as well so you can pick up a relatively inexpensive lunch, or just get a light bite while browsing around.
The most impressive historic site in Bergen is the large collection of wooden buildings known as the Brygen, constructed about 300 years ago. These wooden buildings are so important they are on the UNESCO list of world heritage sites. The Brygen was the main residences, offices, shops and warehouses of this thriving town, which was one of the important cities of the Hanseatic League, the major trading network of Northern Europe.
In the hillside behind the Brygen you can wander through a residential neighborhood that developed hundreds of years ago before there were any automobiles, so as as a result you have narrow, quiet lanes that are for pedestrians, making a peaceful place to stroll. Bergen is worth exploring just to browse around the old streets and alleyways, which can be a most satisfying experience. The small wooden houses lying higgledy-piggledy, cobblestone step ways climb steeply and the passion for flowers is all around. You'll find he occasional shop in the middle of this residential district as well.

Lovely city,unforgettable 😍
This man has done his backgroundwork. Indeed. A very good, quick and precise depiction of both history and today's life. Hats off! (From a person born in Bergen).
Thank you very kindly. From a local, that means a lot to me.

Three years ago we walked the streets of Bergen great friendly and caring people who made our stay in Norway the best
Bergen was a very enjoyable trip. I would definitely visit again
This video is amazing thanks for it hugs from Buenos Aires Argentina 😊
I love bergen. Visited in 2016. I would definitely go back again!
I love Norway ... Thank you for show and explain the town for travel
I have never been to Norway but one thing that is nicely surprising me are the cleanest of the cities watching all these videos.
My compliments to your approach of guiding and exploring. Especially your focus on rubbing against were locals actually live and interact instead of just the museums and tourist traps in the places you visit. I also appreciate your focus on how old cities are reinvented across Europe by pedestrian streets and squares and trams to open spaces in cities instead of moving life to malls outside, it being in little Bergen or Nice. Towns are living places with living humans in the present. The latter is so important. To travel is more than a history lesson of old buildings and paintings. You do a fine job.
What a beautiful city!

Very informative and nice! Thanks!

10:13 "They were pretty nasty creatures" shaking my head, it's like saying that the Germanic Tribes were "Barbaric" Just like what the Romans and the Greeks would've said, and they considered themselves "Civilized".
He's obviously an American Christian so hates the Vikings believing the Christians to be oh so innocent.
The vikings culture was built on war. The only jobs they had were fisherman or tradesman or become a warrior. Romans were very civilised compared to vikings and its not the vikings faults. The weather during winter meant they had to pilledge to get food and money but there religion was wholly built on war and going to valhal
If you count the hole area of bergen, not just the city you will get almost 500 000 people. Btw very nice video
I am coming to Bergen next week, bought a Berger pass that gives free public transport
Good move. If flying in that includes the tram from airport to town. If you get the Bergen card you also can use the funicular, and 2-hour boat cruise in the harbor, and free or discount admission to museums. Their website says with the card : "You can travel by the Bergen Light Rail to visit Edvard Grieg's home Troldhaugen and Fantoft Stave Church, or by bus to visit for example Old Bergen, Lysøen Island, Voss, the Hardangerfjord or the Aurlandsfjord. Or even to take the bus to Odda."
This brings back a lot of memories
LEYKIS 101 !!!
A note, the euro is not used in Norway, they use the krona.
Krone :-) Norwegian krone - NOK.
Super 🥰😘💋😍
It shure looks different since 1960 . the funicular seems the same as is the view from the top. colin mann.
exactly what I was looking for, thanks

Dennis, do you have a map to download? We are visiting this May and I would love to follow the tour you took.
I don't have a map for download but I'm sure you can find plenty on-line.
You are the best how i can become as you me also as guide here in morocco city ?
All it takes is desire, which you've got, and knowledge, and communication skill, then go look for a job as guide, maybe an Airbnb experience or one of your local companies. I'm sure Morocco can be best seen on foot with a local guide such as yourself.
I live there
i Noticed that some of the cobblestones had pictures on them like one had a ship on it. Can you tell me why? I must know! lol thanks! If you read this or if anyone can tell me for that matter. thanks again
Because
i'm sorry you are too stupid to know the answer. I hope you grow a brain. probably too late for you hu. tb
