Hi varunvirmani,

Welcome to Expat.com!

Maybe you could give us a brief introduction of yourself?

Thank you and good luck in your search.

All the best,
Christine

You will have to bring a lot of money - because just breathing is expensive here, and you will need a lot of rain gear (Gore-tex).

depends for how long are you coming
Bergen is the Rain capital of Norway.
It rains almost every day here in bergen.
If you are coming from india then bring some handful of spices as you wont get that quality here.
Get your self a good pair of rainy shoes and a winter shoes

i would advise you to buy the rain gear from norway itself since the stuffs what you get here are as per standards of the city.

Find more about the city here

Cheers and welcome
