Bergen is the classic starting or ending point for a Norwegian Fjords cruise, framed by seven mountains and the UNESCO-listed Bryggen wharf's tilted, colorful wooden buildings. It's also famously wet — one of the rainiest cities in Europe — but that doesn't stop it from being one of the most scenic ports in Northern Europe, with funiculars up Mount Floyen and easy access to Norway in a Nutshell fjord tours.
Bergen in December brings cooler conditions, with highs around 42°F — pack layers alongside your warm-weather gear. December sees roughly 21 rainy days, so waterproof layers and flexible plans are wise. Showers are often short-lived but can be intense. Coldest, wettest month of the year
Crowds are moderate in December, making it a good balance between availability and weather. Dress in layers: a waterproof shell over a mid-layer handles the range between cool mornings and afternoon port temps.
