The image of the embankment is so replicated on all sorts of souvenirs that the feeling that you are walking inside a postcard does not leave for a minute. Colorful place! Despite the fact that several times the embankment burned out completely, each time it was restored according to old drawings. The houses are exactly the same as before. By law, here you can paint houses only in 4 colors: burgundy, yellow, beige and white, and in strictly defined shades.

Also, be sure to go inside the quarter, wander through the narrow streets between the houses (the so-called "smau") and you will definitely feel the spirit of old Bergen.

By the way, there are jokes about the weather in Bergen (usually, it rains here on average 300 days a year). A tourist arrives in Bergen. The day lives - it rains, the second - it rains, the week lives - and the rain still does not stop. He went out into the street, stops a local boy and asks:
- Boy, tell me, does it ever rain here?
- I don't know, uncle - the child answers, - I'm only 7 years old : )
