After purchasing a beautiful sweater on a previous trip, I was anxious to visit the shop again. This time, I discovered the gorgeous wool & silk scarves. I didn't even realize each scarf's design was actually an image from a Norwegian landscape until Susan pointed it out. Love the designs & quality of the pieces, and, somehow, it makes each piece even more special when you mean the designer, herself.

Happened to come across this place by chance. The bartender Marco was super nice and we had a great chat. He made some of the best cocktails I've ever had! Definitely an awesome way to spend my last night on holiday.
6. Troldhaugen Edvard Grieg Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,145 reviews
Enchanting residence of the composer Edvard Grieg and his wife, who lived there every summer from 1885 to 1907. The museum also comprises the chamber music hall, Troldsalen, where daily concerts are held during the summer season. Museum building with shop, exhibition and cafeteria.

What a beautiful tour - from Thomas greeting us on the sidewalk outside the Visitor Centre, his very knowledgeable talk, the little gem of a house with the amazingly concealed concert hall. The acoustics were excellent, the performance top notch, and the tour was very good value. To listen to Grieg under these excellent conditions AND take in the same view he enjoyed while composing - very special indeed. Thanks to everyone and especially Thomas.
7. Gamle Bergen Museum - Bymuseet i Bergen
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 292 reviews
In the 1800s Bergen was Europe’s biggest wooden city, a distinctive city environment with closely spaced wooden buildings, busy streets, markets and alleys. At old Bergen open air Museum you can experience some of this atmosphere, with houses from the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries. What did it look like? What did people talk about? In beautiful natural surroundings you can meet both masters and servants from the past. Museumshop. 40 min walk, 15 min by bicycle, 7 min by bus.

A short boat ride from the centre of Bergen, this lovely museum is worth a visit. The wonderful old collection of houses is certainly special and the displays are good. The entertainment is amusing as is the display of the ‘Penny Farthing’ bicycle! Lovely views across to Bergen and beyond.
