➡️It is said that Bergen is surrounded by the Seven Mountains🏔️ (Norwegian: De sys fjell), and it is often called “the city between the seven mountains”, but in fact it was the playwright🎭 Ludving Holberg who felt so inspired by the seven hills of Rome, that he decided that his home🏠 town must be blessed with a corresponding seven mountains.

🥾According to Bergen Mountain Association, these are the seven mountains around Bergen:

1️⃣Ulriken, 643 meters (2,109 feet).
2️⃣Fløyen -also called Fløyfjellet-, 400 meters (1,313 feet).
3️⃣Løvstakken, 477 meters (1,565 feet).
4️⃣Damsgårdsfjellet, 350 meters (1,148 feet)
5️⃣Sandviksfjellet, 417 meters (1,368 feet)
6️⃣Lyderhorn, 396 meters (1,299 feet)
7️⃣Rundemanen, 560 meters (1,837 feet)

⁉️In any case, which mountains🏔️ belong to the group is unclear, because several of the them are part of the same mountain massif⛰️, and locals👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 still argue which seven they are.

❓Did you know that If you own a television📺 in Norway🇳🇴, you have to pay an annual licensing fee💶 of NOK 3,038.56 (around 314 Euros)?

Bryggen (Norwegian for the Wharf), also known as Tyskebryggen (the German Wharf), is a series of Hanseatic commercial buildings lining the eastern side of the fjord coming into Bergen, Norway. Bryggen is on the UNESCO list.   I don't know if you can see it, but the houses tilt against each other
Hiking the local favourite Vidden Trail from Mt Ulriken to Mt Floiyen overlooking Bergen.
