The city of rain

Big city in northern Europe gives a heavy feeling, there are not very high, but always large and square building, or some huge palace, city hall. Also the streams of people busily coming and going around the crowd, do not feel the medieval European romantic, artistic atmosphere. And those town, city, can attract visitors to follow in a continuous line, the old aristocratic.

Norway's capital Bergen is a city like this, many buildings in the city still hundreds of years ago. In 1070, the invincible king Olaf Hill (OlavKyrre) sailing along the west coast of Norway, through this together in seven peaks surrounded by the port, he named it the "Bergen" -- the Norway word for "mountain pasture", also known as the "city of the seven hills".

The impact of the Atlantic gulf stream, Bergen Norway is one of the most warm city, year-round ice-free port, the annual average temperature of 7.7 ��, annual rainfall of 2250 mm. Because of rain, rain time, annual rainfall days in 201 days or more, Bergen is known as the "umbrella of the city". Only a short while ago, there will be "umbrella sale machine" here on the street, but the sale machine did not succeed. Have a joke in Bergen, a tourist asks when a local boy will stop the rain, the boy answered "don't know, I was only 12 years old".
