Norway's second-largest city — wedged between seven mountains on the west coast, with the UNESCO-listed Bryggen Hanseatic wharf at its heart. Gateway to the Sognefjord, Hardangerfjord, and Geiranger fjord networks (all accessible by Norway-in-a-Nutshell day-trips or multi-day tours). Population around 290k. Famously rainy — the locals genuinely don't notice it. Cost is high (Norwegian standards) but lower than Oslo for similar 1-bed apartments. Wi-Fi is fast; coworking is dense. Norway is Schengen-associated; no formal DNV — work permits are heavily quota'd, EU/EEA citizens have free movement.
