About Bergen for Solo Travelers
The gateway to the Norwegian fjords — a colorful Hanseatic wharf city of wooden warehouses, fish markets, and seven mountains that can be reached by cable car or hiking trail. Bergen is Norway's most atmospheric city, regularly soaked in rain, entirely forgivable for it, and the perfect base for Flåm, Hardanger, and Sognefjord.

Bryggen Wharf
Culture
Bergen's UNESCO World Heritage medieval wharf — a row of 14th-century Hanseatic League wooden merchant houses in reds, yellows, and ochres, still in continuous use as shops, restaurants, and workshops. The most photographed street in Norway; best explored early morning before the cruise ships arrive.
📍Bryggen, 5003 Bergen
KODE Art Museums
Culture
One of Scandinavia's great art museum complexes — four buildings around the central lake housing the world's largest Edvard Munch collection outside Oslo, major works by Nikolai Astrup, and a vast decorative arts collection. The Munch drawings and watercolors here are extraordinary and often overlooked.
📍Rasmus Meyers allé 3-9, 5015 Bergen
