The houses of Bryggen in Bergen, Norway.
Bryggen, the historic heart of Bergen, is one of Norway's most iconic sights. This charming district, with its characteristic colorful wooden houses, was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979.
The houses of Bryggen date back to the 14th century, when Bergen was an important trading center for the Hanseatic League. These wooden structures, with their sloping roofs and bright facades, have been faithfully rebuilt after numerous fires, maintaining their medieval appearance.
Wandering through the narrow streets of Bryggen is like taking a trip back in time. The houses now house craft shops, art galleries and cozy cafés. Don't miss the chance to visit the Hanseatic Museum, which offers an in-depth look at the lives of merchants of the time.
Bryggen is located on the eastern side of Vågen Bay, an easy walk from the center of Bergen. Bus lines 10, 18, 103 and 200 stop nearby, making it easy for visitors to access.
Whether you’re a history buff, an architecture enthusiast or simply looking for a picturesque place to explore, Bryggen is a must-see. Its colorful houses and unique atmosphere will leave you breathless.
