Bergen - city exploring

Bergen is apparently not important enough for a free walking tour, so I just wandered around town. Lots of small cobbled streets, a few parks, and glimpses between buildings of the small mountains surrounding the city.

The city seems focus around the waterfront (at least from a tourist perspective), including the fishmarket, where salmon (being a local specialty) was actually reasonably-priced (everything else is 2-3x the price here). I bought a little bit for an oddly fancy dinner. There are also some colourful houses (Bryggen) that are a UNESCO heritage site for some reason (this is why a tour is handy).

I also found some new tasty treats - a type of cinnamon bun (skillingsboller/kanelboller) is common here, and I also tried this coconut/custard bun (from 7-eleven, clearly traditional Norwegian fare!).Læs mere
