After the long, but equally beautiful journey to Bergen, we have finally arrived!!! Bergen is unique in comparison to other cities visited in that it allows one to experience a modern city without denying the opportunity to roam through living history. The historical feel of the city remains intact in addition to all the perks of a larger modern city.
While in Bergen, the group decided that a walking tour of the city would be a great way to gain a better sense of this beautiful city. With that in mind, we set out to learn more about Bergen accompanied by our helpful tour guide Erica. The tour of Bergen provided information including the historical significances of many of the buildings that remain in use today. The walking tour lead us through the Hanseatic wharf Bryggen, the Fish Market, and the Royal Palace. The tour also took the group by several souvenir shops that were a huge hit amongst the group following the tour. Following the tour and a short exploration of the Bryggen area that hosted the souvenir shops, the group went on to visit CMR to learn more about Renewable Energy Projects around Norway.
