Bergen has a lot of cobblestone streets downtown. They are a source of some debate in the city - traditionalists like the look of the stones, while modernists take issue with the discomfort in driving on them. For the latter reason, cobblestone paving is covered by asphalt in many heavily trafficked streets, but is still largely found, most predominantly in the old city.
