Bergen

Bergen is Norway's second-largest city with a population of roughly 270,000. King Olav Kyrre founded the city of Bergen in 1070, and it was the country's capital from 1110 until 1299. Bergen is called ‘the city between seven mountains’ because of the many mountains that surround it. At 624 meters, Mount Ulriken is the tallest of them. Today Bergen is an important centre for the shipping and oil industries, as well as for aquaculture, the food processing industry and higher education. Bergen is also a European City of Culture and its many museums and art galleries are well worth a visit.
