Bergen
Wooden wharf houses leaning into each other in colours no committee would ever approve, a funicular up to a mountain the town keeps for itself, and the fjords properly starting the moment you leave the harbour.
The best time to visit Bergen is Jun–Aug, when typical daytime highs reach about 18°C (65°F). Local time there is 19:55 (UTC+2).
