Bergen, a port lying in the southeast of Norway, is crowded with brightly coloured houses, which belonged to German traders of the Hanseatic League. Despite several fires, the area maintains the atmosphere of the “old port” and Commercial City from the Middle Ages. UNESCO recently declared it a World Heritage Site and included it in the list of monuments that are to be preserved.
There is a large park in the centre of Bergen which is taken up almost completely by an octagonal lake, around which, lie some of the principal museums in the city.
The Hakonshallen, the most beautiful monument in the city, lies within the walls of Bergens fortress. The great 13th century Gothic hall was built for the parties and the receptions in the days of the citys control over trade in the North Sea.
You get the best view over Bergen, the fjords and the surrounding pine-covered mountains from the belvedere. Its easy to admire Norwegians for their unique way of respecting the nature!
卑爾根,挪威東南港城,布滿了許多顏色鮮艷的房子,它們曾屬于漢薩聯(lián)盟的德國商人們。數(shù)次大火之后,卑爾根仍然保持了中世紀(jì)港口和商業(yè)中心的原來面貌。聯(lián)合國教科文組織最近把它列入了世界文化遺產(chǎn)名錄予以保護。
卑爾根市中心有一個大公園。整個公園幾乎被一個八角湖所占據(jù),它周圍聚集了市內(nèi)主要的博物館。
市內(nèi)最美麗的遺跡霍肯松王行宮位于卑爾根堡的城墻之內(nèi),這座13世紀(jì)的哥特式建筑,原是在卑爾根掌控北海海上貿(mào)易的時期為聚會和接待客人而修建的。
在觀景臺上能看到卑爾根海灣及周圍蔥蔥群山的最好風(fēng)光。在這兒人們將不由自主的對挪威人尊崇自然的獨特方式而感嘆。
