Thanks to our guide, we find out that Bergen, which was founded in 1070 AD, was once the capital of Norway and thus boasts numerous historic sites such as the Fortress with its Medieval buildings including the Royal Castle, Håkonshallen and the Rosenkrantz tower.
Ever since the Middle Ages, the city owed its wealth and importance to fish trade, as testified by the picturesque port of Bryggen, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site and boasting colourful wooden houses as well as the lively fish market, which has been supplying the locals since 1276.
