Bryggen is Norwegian for Wharf. These wharfs are Hanseatic and are listed as UNESCO world cultural heritage site. Like most places in Norway this is very clean and well kept. A good place to walk around and do some souvenir shopping. Or simply rest on one of the benches and admire these cute buildings. More

Bergen is so clean, you could eat off the streets. It is expensive, like all of Norway, but worth it. We also went on the Hurtigruten to the Northern Lights and back. We have done it several times in the summer, but the winter was great too. Aloha, Evonne More

The old wharf of Bergen, called Bryggen. Some 62 wooden buildings from the Hanseatic League’s trading empire from the 14th to the mid-16th century. Some is under rebuilding followed old patterns and methods, thus leaving its main structure preserved, which is a relic of an ancient wooden urban structure once common in Northern Europe. More

Another great experience to tell friends & family about - not as good as St Fagans Folk Museum in Wales but a worthwhile & enjoyable experience - those Vikings? More

My hotel was right next to Bryggen. Amazing hanseatic houses, nice wharf and shopping is fun, too. More

and for good reason, like walking back through the centuries when you walk those old wooden floors. More

This is a very interesting and beautifully well preserved historic area. Very worth a couple hour walk about. More
