On the west coast, Bergen has the same assets as Oslo, offering both grand natural spaces and cultural richness. Gate to the fjords, it rises between ocean and mountain. The heart of this quaint town lies around the harbour with the famous fish market on Torget Square and Bryggen Quay. This district and its houses from the Hanseatic era are on the list of Unesco World Heritage Sites. Departure point for the fjord tours, Bergen has not, however, neglected to provide for festivals and museums. European Capital of Culture in the year 2000, it holds many art museums around Lake Lille Lungegardsvann, such as Rasmus Meyers Samlinger's which exhibits the private collection of a patron of the arts.
