UNESCO City of Gastronomy:
In 2015, Bergen became a member of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network in the area of gastronomy. Bergen City of Gastronomy builds on a millennium of history as a meeting place and trading centre for cultural and culinary traditions. Surrounded by the sea, deep fjords and high mountains, nature has created a magnificent and pure environment for food production.
Some of the most seductive delicacies the region has to offer require no preparation – big sweet strawberries straight from the field, dark-red morello cherries, juicy plums and tasty Hardanger apples. You can enjoy fresh fjord prawns down by the harbor while peacefully watching the comings and goings of the boats.
