More info about travel to Bergen: https://www.ricksteves.com/europe/norway/bergen Bergen is a big city by Norwegian standards, but visitors sticking to the compact old center find it charming.

Then for a modern contrast, head for Bergen’s urban heart — which has a thriving personality all its own.
