Bergen, Noway Is Known as the 'Heart of the Fjords’ — How to Visit

"Set along the waterfront, the UNESCO-listed wharf is a picturesque row of colorful wooden buildings that you’ve likely seen on Instagram; it sits near where the scenic Bergen Railway sets out from the city and serves as a historic focal point and departure area for boats serving nearby attractions." - Evie Carrick Evie Carrick Evie Carrick is a writer and editor who’s lived in five countries and visited well over 50.

A little bit of history that survived fire, more fire and even the Nazis which is a surprise given the WW2 occupation and the lack of love the Norwegian must had had for the Germans and in turn the Hanseatic Merchants who built this quayside trading area. Today it is a bustling tourist trap selling all that stuff you don't need in every second store, intermingled with eats and drinks.. very photogenic and great history.

Bryggen is truly the must-see place in Bergen. The historic center is magnificent with its harbor and colorful houses. The view from Mount Fløyen is a must-see! The funicular is easy to access and funny. The market is also unique, and the food is delicious.

A cool quarter of Bergen, full of atmosphere and a taste of old Bergen. However the place can be a bit of a tourist trap. When visiting during the high season be aware that restaurants may be full with long waiting lines, so if possible, reserve in advance.

A cute city center to visit, we stayed there on opposite ends of the “Norway in a Nutshell” tour. The waterfront is beautiful, lots of great places to eat,and walk around. Just carry an umbrella or rain jacket as it’s intermittent and sudden:-)

Beautiful historic spot in Bergen with colorful wooden houses along the harbor. Great place for photos and a nice walk through the old alleyways. Lots of little shops, cafés, and history to explore. Definitely a must-see when in Bergen!

A must-visit in Bergen! The colorful wooden buildings are beautiful, and the area is full of cute, quirky shops to explore. It’s also really interesting to learn about the history behind this UNESCO World Heritage site. If the weather’s good, definitely grab a drink and sit outside - it’s the perfect spot to relax and hang out with friends while soaking up the atmosphere.

Touristy destination so one expects the overpriced coffee and silly souvenirs. We were lucky to have a beautiful day and we enjoyed walking around the place. You can’t visit Bergen without going to Bryggen.

Very beautiful and colorful. Clearly it's a heritage that you don't see elsewhere and it's worth the stroll through. Many stores are open inside during the day which adds to the charm of it.
