Unique Manhole Covers - Europe

Instead of the usual tourist snaps and selfies, how about taking photos of each city's manhole covers?


Each one is unique, contains landmarks of each town and tells a story. So when sightseeing, don't always look around, look down.

Bergen, Norway (Bryggen)

Stockholm, Sweden (Gamla stan)

Bergen's Fortress - escape the tourists, free admission

All of Norway's 17 fortresses are open to the public.
Bergen's fort is adjacent to the old town (Bryggen), yet few tourists visit it. When you finish climbing to the top section, there is an excellent (free) museum of Norway's military history, housed over several levels, in the grounds of the fortress complex.

A pleasant walk
