Bergen, the gateway to the fjords and the great city of Norway's west coast, gets the full city-drive treatment here. This one rolls through the centre on an overcast weekend with the temperature down around six or seven degrees — and yet, as the footage shows, the streets are still full of people.
That's Bergen for you: a city so full of life and history that even cool, cloudy weather doesn't keep it quiet. The drive takes in the busy heart of town, the handsome architecture, and the everyday bustle of a place that wears its rainy reputation with a shrug. A bed of music sits under the footage, giving the drive an easy, atmospheric flow as you cruise the streets of a city ringed by seven mountains and steeped in maritime history.
Bergen rewards a visit in any weather. Press play to drive through the city centre, and explore more of my Bergen and fjord drives on my channel.
