During our recent two-week cruise on Viking Sun, one of Viking Cruises' spiffy ocean ships, we spent a rainy final day of the sailing in the charming port of Bergen, Norway. The soaky city of 280,000 residents gets 240 days of rain per year, earning it the moniker “the rainiest city on Earth.” (See Cruiseable's travel guide to Bergen.)
That didn't stop us from going out and about (umbrellas in hand) as we took in the port area, climbed the very steep hills to the south and checked out the neo-Gothic architecture of centuries-old landmark buildings.
Here's my Visual List of 17 images captured in and around Bergen. Next up, I'll pull together a Visual List of the top ship highlights on Viking Sun.
