Located on the west coast of Norway, the city of Bergen lies on the peninsular of Bergenhalvoyen and is often referred to as the City of The Seven Mountains. The city, which mainly lies on the shore of Byfjorden, is an internationally renowned centre for shipping, petroleum and for higher education.
The Norwegian Fjords which surround the city have been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of the world's most spectacular natural tourist attractions. The Fjords are characterised by high, snow topped, steep mountains which surround them and are themselves deep and narrow. There is evidence that the area has been inhabited for centuries and today the area has a number of farms which some are by the fjords and some higher in the mountains.
Bergen is Norway's busiest and largest port. There are regular ferry services departing from the port to Hirtshals in Denmark. Passenger catamarans also run from Bergen south to Haugesund and Stavanger and north to Sognefjord and Nordfjord. Bergen is also the southern terminus of Hurtigruten, the Coastal Express, which operates with daily services along the coast to Kirkenes.
The Norwegian town and port of Langesund, and the administrative centre of the region, is an old coastal town that can trace its history back to 1765. The town's economic fortunes have been linked to its harbour for lumber, shipbuilding and for ice and is located on a fjord also called Langesund. Visitors strolling through the town will see some lovely well preserved, and some restored, buildings that date back to the 18th century. Heading away from the town the area is rich in flora and geology, and to take advantage of the great outdoors, the town is known for having more sunny days than any other coastal town in Norway. The city is perhaps at its liveliest during the summer months when a number of concerts and festivals are held in the town, including the international Shanty Festival and the Seafood and Fish Festival.
The town's port offers ferry services throughout the year to Hirtshals in Denmark. The ferry port has 4 short stay parking spaces outside the terminal. Inside, there are vending machines providing snacks and refreshments.
