After Oslo<\/a> and Sognfjod in a Nutshell<\/a>, my next stop was Bergen.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Bergen is the second largest city in Norway and it is considered the entrance to the fjords.
\nBergen most famous postcard is Bryggen, a pier that is located at the front line of the city, with this colorful buildings where you can find stores, restaurants and bars.<\/p>\n

We decided to stay at First Hotel Marin<\/a>, very good hotel, comfortable and with a complete breakfast. Only one block from Bryggen.<\/p>\n

One fact that could be a problem in Bergen: Bergen is the most rainy city in Europe. Usually, it rains 240 days a year!
\nThat was enough to make me worried, considering that I would stay only two days in Bergen.
\nBut as Odin<\/a> was very kind with me, it was two sunny days!<\/p>\n

Traditional fish market<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Bergen is famous for its fish market. Here in Brazil we have a great variety of seafood, but in Bergen we can find some different things, as caviar and the famous King Crab.<\/p>\n

\"BergenMy friend… if you can’t communicate or pay in the fish market in Bergen, you won’t do it in any other place in the world!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"BergenMenu in the fish market. Yes, they eat whale meat! For us(Brazilians), this is very different!<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At the fish market you can eat the most fresh food possible, you just need to go at one of the tanks where you can take a lobster, a crab or shrimps that they will prepare them to you eat in 5 minutes.
\nFreshier than that, impossible!
