Bergen
Cost of living, housing, transport and neighborhoods in Bergen.
City Overview
Bergen is Norway’s second city and the gateway to the fjords — a historic port ringed by seven mountains, with the Bryggen wharf as World Heritage. Maritime, energy (offshore oil), seafood and tourism thrive, and NHH makes it a key academic city. Rainy but stunning and very safe — the economic and cultural center of western Norway and a gateway to wonders like the Sognefjord.
