My six-year-old son and I have embarked upon a 14-day Eurail trip from Oslo, Norway to Bodo in the Arctic Circle.

Exploring Bergen, Norway’s Little Big City
Bergen is situated on the west coast of Norway, on the peninsula of Bergenshalvøyen. The city was established before 1070 AD and is home to the UNESCO World Heritage Site Bryggen, the old wharf of Bergen. As it stands today, in all its colorful splendor, it paints a memory of the town’s importance as part of the Hanseatic League’s trading empire from the 14th to the mid-16th century.
