Norway (part 1)

In this year, my husband and I visited Norway. It was our first journey in Scandinavian country. Preparation to Norway was a long process. We have created a detailed plan and route. The journey has been amazing, and I want to share it with you. I hope this article will help somebody to enjoy Norway.

## 1st day

We arrived to Bergen late at night, checked in the apartment and went to sleep.

## 2nd day

Bergen was the first city which we discovered. It is really beautiful city with toy multicoloured houses.

I have some advice to visit Bergen.

Bergen is located on the west coast of Norway, consequently it has a wet oceanic climate. Rainfall is plentiful in all seasons. Average precipitation is 2412.8 mm (Wikipedia). For compering, average precipitation in Saint-Petersburg (considering the most raining city in Russia) is 670 mm. It was raining almost all days while we were there. I advise having waterproof clothes, boots, case for a back. To go everywhere with an umbrella is not convenient, but a good raincoat is a perfect idea.

We were walking and sightseeing in Bergen all day. You can choose sights suitable for you.
Here is our list:
1. Bryggen Hansa Quarter
We were walking on historical part of the city several hours. Part with old wood multicoloured houses seemed more attractive for me. We went around, inside houses and imagined how the city had been many years ago.

2. Here are several sights belonging to old part of Bergen.
1. Bergenhus Fortress
2. St. Mary's Church
3. Fishmarket in Bergen

Bergen's famous  Fish Market suggests the freshest fish and seafood. It is one of Norway's most visited outdoors markets, which is good suitable for diner. We had a tasty diner in Fishme restaurant located in the market with nice view on multicoloured Bergen’s houses. It is not a cheap place, but we had a holiday and wanted to enjoy our meal in beautiful place.

4. VilVite - Bergen Science Center
We visited VilVite due to huge rain and had around 2 hours there. It is a modern science center with interactive exhibits, workshops & 3D film shows. There are a lot of children, but it is interesting for adults also.

5. Fløibanen
Funicular, with a 5 to 8 minute journey to the top station offering far-reaching views over Bergen. It works till late evening, and we visited it last. If weather is good, you can buy an one-way ticket and walk down through nice places.

I am not sure what you are trying to say here?

Perhaps “Bergen’s famous fish market serves the freshest fish and seafood”?

Perhaps “sells the freshest….”?

It is one of Norway's most visited outdoors markets, which is good. It was suitable for us to get dinner.

Again, unsure what you are trying to say. I have worded to what I think you are saying based on context.

We had a tasty dinner in Fishme restaurant which is located in the market with nice view onver to/over looking Bergen’s multicoloured Bergen’s houses.

Missing article “the”
Incorrect article “an”. Usage of “an” in front of a vowel is normally correct, however, not with “one”.

Feedback
