If you expected to be surrounded by cold people and freezing temperature in Bergen, think again! People are friendly here, and the climate is surprisingly warm for a city located so far north, in the chilly Norway. Tourism is flourishing here and it's just a formality to find high quality hotels or any kind of accommodation you could possibly wish for. While the Golf Stream is responsible for the mild climate, the people's souls have been warmed up by a long tradition in music and fine arts. The memorial house of famous composer Edvard Grieg, or the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra are just two of the places the music aficionados should visit. The landscape is breathtaking and Bergen is only a few miles away from some of the most spectacular fjords in Norway. Make sure you have a camera with you on this trip.
