Bergen – seen through the eyes of locals We personally feel very blessed to call this city our home. The most appreciated quality of Bergen, is the immediate vicinity to nature. The nature surrounds Bergen from all sides – everywhere you go you are close to both the mountains and the sea. Rumors say that it rains a lot in Bergen.
