As its moniker suggests, you’ll find Bergen to be a city that benefits vastly from its beautiful surroundings; the town’s timber houses climb the forested slopes above it, facing impressive fjords which are sheltered to the north, south and west by a series of islands.Step into the fairy tale-like town of Alesund where sparkling fjords tower above turrets and ornate facades.
