Bryggen is absolutely the unmissable highlight of Bergen! The colourful wooden houses are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a true feast for the eyes. It’s a beautifully preserved piece of history, reflecting the city's ancient trade with the Hanseatic League. Perfect spot for soaking in Bergen's unique atmosphere!

Located on the harbour/water front is a series of colourful wooden buildings over 600 years old back in the day the were built and occupied by a very rich and powerful people (the Hanseatics), these days they are souvenir shops galleries and cafes.

A must-see in Bergen, this row of charming wooden houses has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's actually hard to miss, as it's practically in the city center. It's fun to imagine what life in Bergen might have been like over the centuries. If you're looking for a nice souvenir, it's worth a visit.

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:-)

Bryggen is one of the most iconic and atmospheric places in Norway. The colorful wooden buildings of the former Hanseatic district create a unique view and transport visitors back to the days of medieval trade. Walking through the narrow passages between the buildings allows you to truly feel the authentic history of the city, while numerous small shops, galleries, and cafés bring the area to life. It is an ideal place both for a relaxing walk and for taking photos—especially in good weather. Bryggen can be quite crowded during the tourist season, but it is absolutely worth visiting. It is a must-see spot on any trip to Bergen and a perfect combination of history, culture, and unique atmosphere 😇

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.
