Set amid a picturesque and very Norwegian coastal landscape of fjords and
mountains, Bergen is one of Europe's most beautiful cities. A celebrated history of
seafaring trade has bequeathed to the city the stunning (and Unesco World Herit-
age-listed) waterfront district of Bryggen, an archaic tangle of wooden buildings. A
signpost to a history at once prosperous and tumultuous, the titled and colourful
wooden buildings of Bryggen now shelter the artisan boutiques and traditional res-
taurants for which the city is increasingly famous.
