Creator's Key Takeaways
I've probably been in over 100 cathedrals during my travels, and this one is certainly not the grandest.
I questioned the scaryl looking large shrimp on top, but eventually tackled it. It was quite tasty, very messy to eat, and no, I couldn't eat the entire plate.
For solo travelers, the city is very safe and friendly. Everyone spoke English, so communication was easy for me.

On a solo trip to Bergen, Norway, I encountered a rainy day. Yet, I was still able to enjoy this gorgeous city. I concentrated on 5 things to see and do and will share them in this video and also include a couple honorable mentions and advice at the end. I took a ride on the Funicular, visited Brygge and the Bergenhus Fortress, enjoyed the Fish Market, and took some time at the Church of St Mary to take in the unusual wood carvings. There are several parks around the area, so plenty of places to enjoy the architecture and surroundings. For solo travelers, Bergen is a safe and friendly environment, although the exchange rate made everything quite expensive. For senior travelers, it's always wise to mind your step on the cobblestone streets and plan your transportation in advance. The downtown area is fairly flat, but the town rises up from the harbor. Bergen was part of a 30-day solo trip through Scandinavia and the Baltic region, including Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. @seniorsolotravel Facebook Travel Forum: https://www.facebook.com/groups/443309331791413 Senior Solo Travel Website: https://www.seniorsolotravel.net/ Visit Oslo Website: https://www.visitoslo.com/ Scandinavian & Baltic Trip videos: Vilnius: https://youtu.be/FL8f7rP7qP8 Air Baltic-Economy: https://youtu.be/lhokVU-Xw_U Riga: https://youtu.be/ZPPP943sEds Lux Express Coach-Tallinn to Riga: https://youtu.be/l5_fMoGlSHQ Tallinn: https://youtu.be/IVK_vsC4OY0 Helsinki to Tallin Ferry: https://youtu.be/EzeAn1C4FvM Helsinki: https://youtu.be/lR6o6URJ3lM Stockholm-Helsinki Overnight Ferry: https://youtu.be/TTVAlq-92yE Stockholm: https://youtu.be/jUeo-BJ4WjI Flamsbana Railway from Flam to Myrdal: https://youtu.be/fJRTT2OE0Hg Bergen to Flam by Train, Bus & Boat: https://youtu.be/iNzn6c1x7JY Bergen: https://youtu.be/gkx1WQU-AZU Ponant Le Bellot Cruise Experience: https://youtu.be/kI93RZC4P_k Norwegian Cruise: https://youtu.be/Q0cEDFZo_m8 Oslo: https://youtu.be/_0GUWomILjo Copenhagen to Oslo Overnight Ferry: https://youtu.be/yVSIaNrj2AI Malmo, Sweden: https://youtu.be/ebgBHybtGjA Copenhagen: https://youtu.be/1is7PDVwI8k 0:00 Intro 0:27 Funicular 1:44 Bryggen 2:36 Bergenhus Fortress 3:47 Church of St Mary 5:21 Fish Market 6:10 Other places 7:25 Outro
