Good comfy shoes and an umbrella. The ever changing weather in Bergen means at some point it will rain. So dress acordingly. During the summer though, if the sun does actually turn up, remember it gets very very warm but also it can be very very windy so bring a lightweight jacket and maybe a thin sweater for when your in the areas that arent .covered by the sunshine. But also something waterproof. Belive me we have 4 seasons in one day, many many many times a year hahaha.
