"Located in the historic Bryggen neighborhood, this museum explains how German merchants of the Hanseatic League lived and traded huge amounts of fish and grain from the 13th–15th centuries; I walked through exhibits and assembly halls that were used for meals, classrooms, courtrooms, and gatherings—the museum opened in 1872 (expanded in 1938), tours run daily 11am–5pm May–September, and tickets cost 150 NOK—Øvregaten 50." - Matthew Kepnes

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.

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!

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.

A very interesting visit and tour of the history of this association, made all the better by Tao who did our tour in English. He was knowledgeable, professional and entertaining in the way he explained the history and conducted the tour. Well done! I would definitely recommend

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.

An interesting tour, made all the better by the very knowledgeable guide (I didn't get his name). Tours are available in a range of languages.
