Bergen Norway (City of Rain)
Bergen, the second biggest city in Kingdom of Norway. And almost certainly one of the world most wonderful city. Population: december 31 2007 = 247 746
The city of Bergen, believed to have been founded by king Olav Kyrre, son of Harald Hardråde, in AD 1070, celebrated its 900th anniversary in 1970.
It is considered to have put back Trondheim as Norway’s capital in 1217, and that Oslo became de jure capital in 1299. Near the end of the 13th century, Bergen came to be one of the Hanseatic League’s most influential bureau cities.
The city is located on the south-western coast of Norway, in the region of Hordaland, with its centre located between a group of mountains known collectively as de syv fjell
(”the seven mountains”), in spite of the fact that the number of mountains is a matter of definition. Bergen is host to part of the country’s large oil industry, as well as deep sea operations. Its harbors are used by everything from small pleasure vessels to cruise ships and cargo vessels, and is the base of many of the country’s fishing vessels. Bergen is an important cultural centre in its region and was one of nine European cities honoured with the title European Capital of Culture in 2000.

The Aquarium is not only one of Bergen’s most popular tourist attractions,
it also has a significant scientific status and is widely used for reach
and education purposes. Over the years it has become on of the most visited
attractions in Bergen, not just by tourist but by the people of Bergen.
The Aquarium has around 250000 visitors every year.
One of the best crowd pullers are the seals as they splash around in
their pool and the penguins wadding about in the sunshine. The arboretum at Milde is an area set aside for cultivation of shrubs
and trees, principally for research, education and testing of plants.
The Arboretum is not just about botany, but is a wonderful area
for walks, with plenty of paths lakes and beaches. Many Europeans
believe that it is winter all year round in
Norway, and that only the insane would go swimming in the sea.
