The Hanseatic Museum and Schøtstuene assembly rooms

Well worth the visit. Make sure you time your visit to pickup a guided tour ( included in price) in your language. Our guide really brought the history back into the buildings and frankly brought the whole thing to life.

Very disappointing experience. The entire museum took us about 10 minutes to walk through, which was hard to believe given the ticket price of 160 NOK per person. Honestly, the whole experience felt like a fraud, as it creates expectations that it simply does not meet. The museum consists of only three small rooms with wooden tables and benches, and there is almost no information displayed throughout. There are a few QR codes you can scan, but the content is minimal and the overall presentation feels poor. For a city like Bergen, with so much history, it is hard to believe the museum includes so little of it.

Interesting place to see with an English speaking guide from a museum. He says many interesting things about the history of Bergen and the Hanseatic League. Easy to understand English. A very nice guide. The museum is small but interesting.

A great UNESCO World Heritage Site to visit while you are in Norway. It has buildings and meeting rooms, kitchens, and other outbuildings, etc, that have been completely restored after being rebuilt in the early 18th century. A guided tour is available every day in English, and can be booked online. Tickets can be purchased online or at the entrance to the museum.

I took advantage of the guided tour, which was included in the price and would highly recommend. Without it, the museum would seem pretty basic. The guide was fantastic, explaining the history of Bryggen, the buildings and their features. Very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and engaging!

Hi! My friends and I went visiting this museum by ourselves, which was already quite nice, two of us went back the same day (same ticket) for the tour guide : that was sooo much better! The guide was dynamic fun and interesting to listen to. This is a very interesting museum, thank you for this, we loved it and obviously recommend it!

I decided to visit Shøtstuene because the Hanseatic Museum was temporarily closed. The ticket costs 150 NOK (about 13€) and you get a guided tour through some assembly rooms and cook houses where the Hanseatic merchants used to gather in the medieval period. There's not much to see but it's fascinating to hear some history in these old wooden buildings.

The English tour led by Tao was very informative and dynamic. Takk☺️ I walked around the whole museum one hour before the tour started, and having the guide explanation afterwards made my visit really pleasant.
