SHORTLY ABOUT BERGEN
Bergen is a very picturesque city - a wonderful combination of the sea,
fjords, mountains, parks, woods. The nature in and around Bergen was a
source of inspiration for the famous Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg.
He was born in Bergen, lived there for 22 years, and composed many of his
best-known works in the little garden hut by the shore of a lake. Edvard
Grieg's home "Troldhaugen" (The Hill of the Trolls) is located 8 km to
south of Bergen; it is now a museum. 15minutes' bus-drive from the city-centre
and another 20 minutes' walk will bring you to "Troldhaugen" and its grounds.
Bergen is one of 9 European cities to be given the status of European City of
Culture in the Year 2000.
