Bergen has a spectacular setting among seven hills and is one of the norways most lively cities. It is also considered to be the rainiest place in all of Norway... (not to miss the shops selling canned boxes of `bergen rain':P)

It is not true that it rains all the time. I have been three times and twice there was warm sun. The other time is better forgotten, particularly as it was a Monday afternoon but when it is fine, the outdoor attractios are terrific.
