We spent a couple of days in Bergen and loved every minute of this charming city. The colorful facades of the wooden buildings facing the water are first to catch your eye. They are shops, restaurants and cafes (excellent ice cream shop). Between some of these buildings are narrow alleyways that lead you back to interesting places. Here you will see artisans at work, odd architecture, crafts to purchase. Continue walking along the water past these colorful buildings and you will come to the Bryggen Museum and St Mary’s church up a small hill on the right. Walk around the end of the harbor and to the other side to see the fish market section. There is every kind of edible sea creature imaginable, some uniquely displayed. There are several open air restaurants..... we ate at Fish Me and had delicious king crab. There is a visitor center, lots of boats to check out, shops, cafes and activity. Plan to spend a couple of hours just walking around soaking up the culture.

Would you climb 4444 steps up the longest wooden staircase in the world? Florli 4444 is a climb of 4444 steps (more than that in fact!) up the side of an old trolley railway beside the water pipes of an old hydro-electric power station. The hike up takes about 2 hours and is hard work. This is a hike for adults and older children with a decent level of fitness. You are not supposed to come down the steps so the hike down is by another route, taking about three hours. The descent is steep, uneven and slippery at the top. The most fantastic hike with beautiful views throughout. A hidden gem compared to the other more famous Stavanger region hikes.

If you have ever been in Skagen Denmark, then you will really understand why its called Skagenkaien. Tight historical links between Norway and Denmark, really is portrayed here. Romantic and historical old wooden buildings, as seen almost anywhere in Norway, just so charming. If you do have time left to spend, a cosy lunch, afternoon with coffee or a cold beer is well spent. You will have the harbour area as a scene, cruise ships, yachts and just a life in Stavanger to enjoy.
