Bergen is a beautiful city on the western coast of Norway and is the second most popular tourist destination. It is "the gateway to the fjords" and has been named as a European Capital of Culture. Bryggen, which is Norwegian for wharf, has been named a UNESCO World Heritage site. It has some of the oldest buildings in Bergen, some of which survived the many fires that have burned down the entire city. I think the oldest ones date back to 1702.
