The post 3 Things To Do in Bergen, Norway appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>The Hanseatic Wharf area of Bergen, as well as its medieval streets leading to the center of the city, are now designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in recognition of the uniqueness and rare status of these streets. Not only are they historically valuable, they are also incredibly beautiful, especially at sunset or sunrise. Take a guided tour around the area or simply explore it by yourself on foot, either option is very rewarding.
Bergen is set amongst some truly stunning scenery, and just out of the city, there are several mountain peaks to climb. There is a funicular railway up to Mount Fløyen, one of the peaks within sight of the city, or if you’re up for the walk then the hike to the top of the mountain from Bergen takes around five hours. There are stunning views at the top, so it’s all worth it.
Bergen is a UNESCO city of gastronomy, and there are some truly unique and fabulous Norwegian delicacies that you need to try when you’re visiting. As well as the classic smoked salmon, there are pickled herring, dried cod, flatbreads, and an array of pickles and salads to taste.

]]>While the streets of Bilbao may not offer the romantic lighting and stunning architecture of somewhere like Barcelona, this doesn’t mean that they are without charm or character. The city has invested in plenty of public art, so wander around its clean, well-designed streets and enjoy spotting some of the installations and sculptures on display.
The region around Bilbao specializes in warm, hearty fare that is quite different from other dishes found across Spain. This reflects the harsher climate in the north and the difficulties of living in and around the majestic Picos mountains. Try fabada Asturiana, a stunning Asturian bean stew that uses sausages to maximize the flavor and texture. You can also sample some of the locally caught seafood, which is often served as fresh as possible, straight off the boat.
Much of Bilbao’s history is connected with the water, so taking a boat trip down the river Nervión is a wonderful way to experience the city and gain a sense of some of its rich history. These tours typically last between one and two hours, meaning it’s a great way to spend a morning before you return to land to explore the streets of Bilbao in the afternoon.

]]>Despite its small size, Sheffield offers up a huge array of incredible cafes and restaurants, not to mention some pretty fabulous street food stalls. Whether you fancy some traditional British fare, a Bangladeshi curry, a Korean feast or some Italian pizza, you can find a massive range of cuisines and culinary cultures on display in the city. To top this off, most of the eating in the city is relatively cheap, in acknowledgment of its large student population and the unpretentious attitude of its citizens.
Traveling by train out of Sheffield city center, you can be within the boundaries of the Peak District National Park within 15 minutes. Stop off at Edale station for incredible access to the heart of the Peaks, or visit one of the many country parks around the edges of the city.
Sheffield has plenty going on in terms of its arts and culture. Check out the Crucible or Lyceum theatres for some contemporary theatre of a very high standard. The Millennium Art Gallery is free to enter and hosts a range of contemporary art, much of which reflects on Sheffield’s industrial heritage and recent past.

]]>Being by the sea, Brighton is a great place to spot some wildlife. It is famous for its murmurations (gatherings) of birds such as starlings, as they may be seen swirling and dipping over the sea towards sunset on most days. You can also keep an eye out for marine mammals including seals and even dolphins, which are sometimes spotted from the shore.
Brighton is home to many independent art galleries, theatres, and music venues, and there’s a real sense of creativity within the city. Make sure you head to the Lanes, a couple of streets towards the center of town which showcase some great independent shops and market stalls. Along the seafront, don’t miss the ‘upside down house’, a major photo opportunity that perfectly encapsulates Brighton’s quirky heart.
Brighton is famous for its Victorian-era palatial homes and hotels which face out to sea. You can take a great walk along the paved seafront, enjoying the views of this great architecture in one direction and of the sparkling blue ocean in the other. You can hire a bike if you want a faster way of getting around the city, or take it easy and stop off for an ice cream mid-promenade.

]]>Milan was once home to hundreds of canals, but over the years many of these have been filled in and built over. The Navigli district is home to those that remain, and it is a cool area to go and get a drink in one of the waterside bars. Don’t forget to do a little people watching whilst you sip—Milan is all about fashion and style, and you can be sure that others will be noticing what you’re wearing as you drink your negroni or spritz, so pack your freshest clothes for the city.
Having some tasty snacks and a drink to get you in the mood for dinner is a fabulous part of Italian life, and not to be skipped when in Milan. Check out any of the restaurants or trattorias around the Porta Ticinese, as these are well regarded by locals and will serve authentic, high quality food.
Milan’s cathedral is its most important landmark. Work began on the structure in the 14th century, and it is majestic and impressive both inside and out. Don’t miss the opportunity to climb to the viewing platforms, as the panoramas over the city and beyond are truly stunning.

]]>Walking up and down Commercial Street, popping into the stores, and people-watching is a great way to experience the energy of Cape Cod. With so many places to eat and shop, you are sure to enjoy this area on your trip!
This 10-mile bike path is perfect for those looking for a bit more physical activity on their trip. You can bike this entire scenic path from the Ferry Terminal in Woods Hole to North Falmouth.
It’s hard to imagine a trip to Cape Cod without actually traveling on the water, which is why we recommend taking a trip on the Island Queen Ferry. It’s only a 35-minute trip to get from Falmouth to Martha’s Vineyard.
To truly experience the beauty of mother nature in Cape Cod, you must visit the Cape Cod National Seashore. Stretching over 40 miles, this national park is filled with beaches, ponds, woods, and so much more to walk, bike, or hike through.

]]>Located 200 meters off the coast of Aiya Napa in the eastern part of Cyprus, MUSAN depicts an underwater world with a forest of trees, children at play, and other whimsical characters. Like all of deCaires Taylor’s work, MUSAN examines the impact of man on the natural world. Each sculpture is made from pH-neutral materials, so no harm is caused to the surrounding environment. In fact, the structures will provide shelter for marine life, as they will be covered in biomass over time.
“I firmly believe that Jason’s 93 artworks will be a haven for many sea creatures and will contribute to the development of biodiversity in the area,” said Marine Argyrou, director of the Department of Fisheries and Marine Research, in a statement to My Modern Met. In other words, this work of art will only get better as time goes by.

]]>This ‘shrine’ to all things coffee is located in a villa in the Al Fahidi neighborhood and has an impressive collection of coffee-related artifacts, including a 300-year-old coffeepot. Entry is free, and the many roasting demonstrations give the whole museum a lovely aroma.
Okay, technically a ride in an abra isn’t free, but it costs 1 UAE dirham, which is as good as. Hop into one of the wooden boats on either side of the Dubai Creek and take in the view of the old and new Dubai.
AlSerkal Avenue is full of warehouse spaces offering a range of entry-free galleries. You can wander around the pop-up shops and concept spaces, and of course, stop for a drink in one of the cute cafes.
At the Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, you can pick up a pair of binoculars and take a closer look at the hundreds of pink flamingos that live in the water near the junction of Ras Al Khor Road and the Dubai-Al Ain highway.
