Why Go
German merchants of the Hanseatic League ran Bergen's trade in dried cod from here for four centuries. Fires burned Bryggen many times, and the houses standing today were rebuilt after 1702 in the old way. Behind the colorful fronts, narrow wooden passages lead between workshops, galleries and old warehouses.
Tips
- Wander the back passages, away from the crowds on the waterfront.
