A Week in Bergen: Yes, It Really Rains That Much

Before I visited Bergen, I read that it rains over 240 days a year. I figured it would be light showers. It wasn't. During my seven days there, it rained for six. But here is the interesting part: the locals don't seem to care. They run, cycle, and drink coffee outside in waterproof gear. Once I bought a high-quality rain jacket, my experience changed completely. Hiking Mount Fløyen in the mist was magical. Don't let the wet weather stop you—just dress like a Norwegian and go enjoy the fjords.
