[fizzytom, 26/06/2010] We booked this private accommodation having not realised when we booked our flights, that the international festival was taking place when we were going to be in Bergen. Since accommodation can seem expensive to non-Norwegians this turned out to be a good move. We paid 450 NOK per night (as of April 2010 this equates to approximately £50). The first night was paid in advance by credit card, the other night was paid in cash to the owner.
The house is located about ten minutes walk from town and is on the strip of land between the two harbours, leading eventually to the Bergen Aquarium. There

Getting to Bergen can be done by land, sea or air, however we used the first option as we were staying in a log cabin near a place called Eidfjord. One thing to note is if you do drive by car to Bergen they have a toll system similar to the London congestion charge with cameras to observe vehicles and no payment at t

[pomcamgirl, 29/08/2007] After reading so much about this wonderful fish market in Bergen, I was so looking forward to my trip to Torget.
I must say it was quite dissappointing. First, the market is really small. There are many stalls selling souvenirs, a few selling fruits and vegetables and of course, the central part is dedicated to fish and seafood.
The first thing that surprised me is the international staff. I was talked to in 5 different languages, rarely English and never Norwegian. Now, I know I must have the word "tourist" written on my face, but I had imagined old Norwegian fishermen, not young inter
