Subjects : Bergen is a coastal town of 250,000 inhabitants in the south-western Norway, the second most populous country after the capital Oslo. The attraction photographically more interesting, as well as the beautiful view reached by cable car or on foot along the beautiful streets of the historic center, is without a doubt the Bryggen! The Bryggen waterfront is the historic district consists of wooden houses built in line and home of the merchants of the Hanseatic League from the fourteenth to the eighteenth century. In this beautiful place, appointed 1979 UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is possible to photograph the historic district, the colorful waterfront, narrow streets all made of wood, as well as the fish market and a host of other colorful and characteristic views .

Recommended equipment : These were mainly architectural and landscape photography, you should become standard, in which a medium telephoto and a wide angle may be sufficient. For the most demanding of objectives shiftable also can be very useful in photographing the Bryggen. If you are lucky to find good light conditions at dusk or dawn, you may want a tripod and filters.

Best months : Bergen is known as the city of Seattle rain or the European Union. The average annual rainfall, in fact, more than 2000 mm per year. The city enjoys a temperate oceanic climate. Temperature variations are weak, mild winters and rainy summers. In short, the whole year is ok but you need to get lucky with the weather to make good photographs.

How to get there : The coastal city of Bergen is a great place from which to make excursions in the south west of the country. It 'can get to Bergen quite easily, or directly by air from the local airport where they operate all major airlines (SAS, KLM, Alitalia, British, Lufthansa, Air France, etc.), or by sea (or other Hurtigruten shipping companies), landing directly in the center. If you are traveling, however, in the car you can get to Bergen along the highways in the area. In summary, Bergen is an important tourist Norwegian well connected to the rest of the country. It will not be difficult to include this unmissable places in its Norwegian tour.

Visits : The Bryggen in Bergen is a waterfront area freely accessible during the day. There are access restrictions during the night (access points are blocked) I think to prevent intrusion or vandalism. Since the whole neighborhood built of wood, and it has already been destroyed in 1700 by a fire, the fire danger is a particularly acute.
