Bergen is a lovely city, though it did rain 5 of the 6 days I was there, possibly due to the time of year. It is an expensive place, but I was there for a family wedding, so I would have gone regardless.

Use the very inexpensive light rail pass which allows train ride from the airport to downtown, and can be used on local buses. Each pass is "valid" for 1 1/2 hours, and if you have transfers to another route, user can get almost 3 hours travel.
