Pearl of the West Coast - Bergen

This city, the former capital of Norway, is 1000 years old and in my opinion is one of the most charming cities in this country. Bergen lies among seven mountains (like Rome :) ) and is known for raining (you can even buy a jar with "bergensk" rain as a souvenir! ). This is due to its location between stormy Northern Sea and Norwegian high mountains.
