A very pretty, but also a very wet town: according to many, Bergen is the wettest town in Europe which can make exploring it unpleasant.
Rain in Bergen is legendary - according to statistics, it rains some 265 days a year, while many locals claim it rains 300 days a year. As recent as January 2007, Bergen had a record period of eighty days of rainfall. While the climate is mild, it can mean that even in summer, you can be very cold. I once joined a fjord tour on a boat in July, which ended in everyone on the boat being wrapped in blankets provided by the boat staff, shivering instead of enjoying the marvellous views of the mountains.
