Bergen, Norway, often described as the gateway to the fjords, is a harmonious blend of natural beauty and urban charm. Encircled by mountains and fjords, including the famous Sognefjord, the city's picturesque waterfront, Bryggen, is known for its colorful wooden houses and historic wharf, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Bergen's narrow cobblestone streets and bustling markets invite exploration, while its vibrant arts scene and proximity to nature appeal to adventurers and culture seekers alike. This city is a serene starting point for exploring Norway's breathtaking landscapes.

Bergen draws adventurous travelers in their 20s who want a taste of Norway’s epic fjord landscapes without straying too far from a vibrant cultural base. Rain is common, but that doesn’t deter them from exploring Bryggen’s historic wharf or hiking up Mount Fløyen. At Voyista, we’ve visited Bergen during different seasons to scout out cozy hostels, scenic train routes, and the most stunning fjord boat trips. We ensure your itinerary includes just the right balance of city discovery and jaw-dropping natural wonders, perfect for capturing Insta-worthy moments.
