The city of Bergen was named in 2004 as one of the «European secret capitals» by Time magazine thanks to its great activity.
And it is that to visit this beautiful city any time is good, it would be advisable to be in one of its most important parties or events. For example, the Constitution Day (May 17) stands out, this day Norwegians celebrate in style and in which the kings of Norway usually go to Bergen.
