The 14 Best Things to Do in Bergen, Norway (Updated 2025)

"This eye-opening museum, housed inside St. George's, documents Bergen's history as having one of Europe's highest concentrations of leprosy during the 1850–1900 outbreak; its archives are part of UNESCO's Memory of the World Programme, and I found the educational tours (open May–August 11am–3pm) illuminating about the disease's history, symptoms, treatments, and hospital conditions—Kong Oscars gate 59." - Matthew Kepnes
