Accommodation

• Comfort Hotel Holberg, Strandgatan 190 (Nordnes), 47 55 30 42 00 (fax: 47 55 23 18 20, e-mail: [email protected]), [1]. Located a bit outside the city center, but only a few minutes walking distance to the fish market. This is probably one of the city's least known hotels. It is fairly new and has a modern decor. The hotel's facilities are typical of a mid-range hotel, however, it can be said to be slightly more expensive compared to the city's other mid-range hotels. A standard double room costs around NOK 1,500 per night.

Security

Bergen, like the rest of Norway (and the Nordic countries), has relatively low crime. The most common crimes are car burglary and bicycle theft. Pocket thieves are also a crime "on the rise".

The police station is located in the center on Allehelgens gate 6, across the street from the old town hall.

Emergency number

• Polis: 112
• Brand: 110
• Ambulance: 113

If you are unsure of which number to call, lead 112 to the center for all rescue services and will connect you correctly.

For non-emergency help, the number to the police is 02800.

Respect

Most residents of Bergen are very patriotic, at least more than the average Norwegian. They can ask what you think about the country and the city. They are interested in what you think and will often ask for details if you are positive. If you are negative, they usually take it as an insult, so it is best to have first thought through your answer before entering into a discussion.

World War II (when Norway was occupied by Germany 1940-45) is still a sensitive subject for many, especially for the elderly. Germans in particular should stay away from the subject and keep a low profile at war monuments.

If you are invited to someone's home, you should, just like in Sweden, take off your shoes and any headgear in the hall.

Men with hats should take it off before entering a church.
