Bergen
We took the express boat ride to the charming town of Balestrand for about 3.5 hours and walked to the Bergen Bors hotel. For the walking tour guide Sue ( A British origin lady married to Neowegian cop at Bergen) was ready. It was raining . Took the umbrellas and started the walking tour for about 3 hours. We stayed in Bergen for three nights.
Bergen is Norway's second largest city with a population of roughly 270,000. King Olav Kyrre founded the city of Bergen in 1070, and it was the country's capital from 1110 until 1299.
Bergen was one of the major Hanseatic cities in Europe and it has been a great centre of trade throughout the ages. Fish was exported from Bergen, while grain was the chief import. The first German merchants came to the city already in 1270, and the powerful Hanseatic League existed until 1784, when it was disbanded. The Hanseatic merchants operated in the Bryggen area, which is now included on UNESCO's World Heritage List.
