2 Best Performing Arts Venues in Bergen, Norway

Bergensers love jazz. The Bergen Jazz Forum is the place to find it—there are concerts every Friday from September to May. Also, more than 40 concerts are offered in the 10-day international Nattjazz festival in late May and early June.

One of the city's most majestic buildings, the Art Nouveau Den Nationale Scene first opened its doors in 1906 with a performance before the royal family. The National Theater is worth a visit just to see the opulent main theater, which hosts lavish Broadway-style productions. Smaller venues inside the august building include the 250-seat Småscenen and the 90-seat Lille Scene.
