This roof is more recently known for its large #NeonSign of the Bergens Tidende newspaper logo. But just after the war, another brand got there first!

VIKING is the wellington boot brandname of the Askim Gummivarefabrikk rubber factory – and if it's one city you should really sell rubber boots in, it's the hometown of rain, #Bergen.

Viking still exists, actually! So does the rain… #VisitBergen
