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!

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 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.
