Norway: Best Places to Visit
Bergen
Bergen gets a lot of play because it is a good place to start a tour of Norway's Fjord Country. Bergen's inner harbor and "Old Town" are pleasant: the town has a long and interesting history, which is well represented in local museums.
From Bergen, you can travel by bus and train through part of Fjord Country and doing so is worth the effort, as the scenery is some of the most beautiful in the world (the fjords are best seen from the water).

You can, also, catch the Hurtigruten, the famous Norwegian coastal steamers, for an interesting ride as far north as most travelers will ever want to go.

Finally, you might consider a more formal cruise of the fjords since a cruise is a wonderful and relaxing way to see Fjord Country.
