| Bergen Noruega Escandinavia Bergen es una de las ciudades más bonitas e impresionantes que encontramos en Noruega. Es una ciudad de casi 250,000 habitantes, que se ubica en la costa oeste del país. Su puerto comercial es de los más importantes de todo el norte de Europa y motor de la economía de la ciudad. Bergen es una ciudad de casi 500 kilómetros cuadrados, y tras Oslo es la segunda ciudad en Tamaño y en población del país. Está en el condado de Hordaland, y está rodeada por las conocidas como las Siete Montañas. Es además la entrada a los fiordos de Noruega, lo que la lleva, junto a Trondheim, a ser una de las ciudades más turísticas del país, con una entrada constante de cruceros desde mayo a septiembre. |
|
| Además de su actividad marítima, de su
entorno montañoso, de sus fiordos, Bergen es también cultura, no en vano,
esta ciudad fundada en el Siglo XI ha sido capital europea de la cultura en
el año 2000. La historia de Bergen ha sido muy incesante, ya en el Siglo XI fue fundada por el Rey Kyrre, y dos siglos más tarde era una de las ciudades más importantes de la actual Escandinavia. Durante siglos, esta ciudad ha ido evolucionando, teniendo más o menos problemas como todas otras muchas ciudades, siendo una ciudad que fue arrasada por los piratas, atacada, lo que propició la construcción de murallas y museos. Su último episodio negro fue en 1916, cuando la ciudad fue destruida por un incendio. |
| Pasear por Bergen es pasear por una de las ciudades más bonitas que podemos
encontrar en todo el país, las casas de madera de Bryggen, la Bahía de
Vaagen, las iglesias, las catedrales, son buena parte de sus encantos, junto
con su famoso mercado, que se ubica, desde tiempos inmemoriales, junto a su
puerto, a lo largo de el. Cerca de aquí un gran centro comercial se levanta
para dar salida a las mercancías llegadas por su puerto. Una buena forma de
recorrer todas estas atracciones es el funicular que le lleva desde la
ciudad al Monte Floyen, donde puede ver toda la ciudad. Esta ciudad es una de las ciudades más lluviosas del país, su clima húmedo oceánico e hace ser centro de atención de borrascas, si bien la corriente del golfo hace que sus temperaturas no sean excesivamente frías como en otros puntos del país. Su economía está basada en su industria portuaria fundamentalmente, la pesca, la actividad bancaria y el turismo también tienen su importancia, sobretodo el turismo ya que no debemos olvidar que Bergen cuenta con el puerto de cruceros más grande del norte de Europa. En lo cultural, Bergen es una ciudad que cuenta también con interesantes ofertas culturales, el Festival Internacional de la Ciudad, la Orquesta Filarmónica, con más de dos siglos de antigüedad, el festival de Blues o de Jazz, conocido como Bergenfest, los conciertos… sus museos… son muchas las posibilidades culturales que ofrece esta ciudad. |

| Bergen Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Shows Bergen inner harbour Shows Bergen inner harbour Unknown Bergen was founded in 1070 by King Olav Kyrre. It's an old hanseatic city situated between 7 mountains. The city has long been Norway 's most important city for trade, shipping and industry. Ships came from the north with fish, and from the south with grain, and it all traded in Bergen . During the Middle Ages, Bergen was virtually (though not officially) the capitol of Norway . For a period it was also the largest city in the Nordic countries. Bergen 's trade and shipping also made it one of the significant cities of Europe . The citizens of Bergen have never forgotten this. The home of composer Edvard Grieg still shows pride in its past. Bergen has been named European City of Culture for 2000. If you arrive by sea, Bryggen, the city's famous hanseatic wharf, will meet you. Fires have always plagued the city, but Bryggen has been rebuilt in the same likeness each time. That is why this old merchant quarter still looks the same as it did when the city was young. The Hanse had its huge offices on the Bryggen for several hundred years; and it was a city within a city. Bryggen is not just Bergen 's profile, it is a part of our common heritage and has been placed on UNESCO's list of cultural places worthy of preservation and is as such a World Heritage City . It is easy to get to the top of Bergen 's highest mountain Ulriken by cable car. Or you can settle for taking the popular funicular railway to the top of Fløien from where you will enjoy a spectacular view of the city. Edvard Grieg's splendid home Troldhaugen is certainly worth a visit, and our first internationally famous violinist, Ole Bull, once built a strange and wonderful home - Lysøen - that is now a museum. Take a walk along Bryggen to the old fortress called Bergenshus, where Håkon Håkonsson made Bergen Norway 's first capital. He had the beautiful Håkonshallen built in honour or his son Magnus Lagabøter's wedding and coronation. Bergen is also the gateway to the fjords. These deep, sometimes narrow, sometimes wide fjords with snow-peaked mountains towering in the water's reflection and waterfalls cascading down their craggy sides, are attractions for foreign tourists and Norwegians alike. Boats that are both rapid and comfortable are available for trips to Hardangerfjorden, Sognefjorden and Geirangerfjorden and among the fascinating skerries along the coast. Many say that Bergen is the most beautiful city in the world... and I agree... Indeed, Bergen is the town of all towns in Norway. __________Sights Edit This Church interior Church interior davidx Sights in Bergen sounds a bit like Buildings in New York - there must be nearly as many and as much variety. Some are of nature like the wonderful view down from the top of the funicular - an amazing thought that you are so close here to the heart of Norway's second city. Others are of buildings, like those in the outdoor museum or the stave church. Still others are of a delightful modern city. Contributors November 20, 2004 new by davidx (1 point) [Add Sight] Bryggen Edit This Bryggen in Bergen Bryggen in Bergen photo by: www.tunliweb.no Bryggen also known as Tyskebryggen ("the German Wharf") is a series of Hanseatic commercial buildings lining the eastern side of the fjord coming into Bergen. Bryggen is on the UNESCO list for World Cultural Heritage sites. The city of Bergen was founded in 1070. In 1360 a Kontor of the Hanseatic League was established there, and as the town developed into an important trading centre, the wharfs were improved. The administrative buildings of Bryggen housed clerks from many areas, especially Germany. The warehouses were filled with goods, particularly fish from northern more.. type: Landmarks World66 rating: [rate it] url: www.tunliweb.no Håkon Hall Edit This Håkon's Hall Håkon's Hall photo by: www.tunliweb.no Håkon's Hall has taken its name from its first builder, King Håkon Håkonsson, and was erected between 1247 and 1261. The hall was the largest and most imposing building in the royal residence at "Holmen" (the holm), the political centre of the 13th-century Norwegian kingdom. It was obviously built for the great occasions in the history of the monarchy and the realm, but also for practical daily use. type: Hotspots World66 rating: [rate it] url: www.tunliweb.no Troldhaugen - home of Edvar Grieg Edit This Home of Edvar Grieg Home of Edvar Grieg photo by: www.tunliweb.no Troldhaugen was the home of Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg. His and his wife's ashes rest inside a mountain tomb near the house. The house itself and its surroundings are now a Grieg museum. Edvard Grieg himself called the building "my most important composition," although the building was designed by his cousin, the architect Schak Bull. The name comes from Trold meaning "Troll" and Haug meaning "small hill". In 1985 a small concert hall was built in the valley. Below the concert hall lies Grieg's small Composer's Hut. type: Palaces World66 rating: [rate it] url: www.troldhaugen.com Fantoft Stave Church Edit This Church interior Church interior photo by: davidx This is only a short bus ride from the centre of Bergen. Make sure you get off at the FIRST stop for the church or you will have a steep walk up through the woods from the next. This could be called a 'new' old church as the original was burnt down in 1992. The replacement was constructed to the original pattern and completed in 1997. In 1998 the fresh wood smell conflicted hugely with the architectural design! The original was actually brought here from a site in the Sogn area in the second part of the 19th century, having been first built in the 12th century.

These are reminiscent of the days when Bergen was an important port of the Hanseatic League. Now the buildings form museums, restaurants and expensive shops. Usually these buildings are photographed from the front [as in the website below] but the rear is also worth seeing. type: Landmarks World66 rating: [rate it] url: www.globosapiens.net Ole Bull statue Edit This Ole Bull Ole Bull photo by: davidx Ole Bull is mentioned on the main Bergen page and his home, Lysøen, is one of the Tourist Board's suggested sights. He was a violinist with an international reputation. This statue is found only a short distance from the waterfront market and is an example of the way Bergen is highlighted by green spaces and objects of interest. type: Fountains and statues World66 rating: [rate it] __________Webcams & 360 degree pics Edit This Below is a selection of Bergen region webcams.

Taxis are available, if preferred. E-mail infosenteret.bergen@avinor.no Phone 47 55 99 80 00 Website www.bergen-guide.com/274.htm The Railway from Oslo is one of Europe's noted scenic lines. http://www.nsb.no/internet/en/index.jhtml Coaches connect with all parts of the country and international services are also available. http://www.nbe.no/nberuter.htm Bergen is also a major port for international boats, cuises and ferries to other parts of Norway. In particular, it is the southern terminal of the Hurtigruten ferry to Kirkenes and back. http://www.hurtigruten.com/uk/ For other ferries see http://europeforvisitors.com/europe/articles/bergen_links_2.htm ____________Museums Edit This Gamle Bergen Museum This museum is mainly outdoors, a collection of old buildings from Bergen which were rescued from destruction by being gathered here. It's a short busride from the centre. Whereas you are allowed to wander around outdoors at will, it would be a great pity to miss a guided tour in English, when you are taken into a number of the old houses and shops and told about life in them. The museum is not nearly as extensive as Oslo's Folk Museum but don't compare them and enjoy this for its own sake. |
