Bryggen in Bergen

We are now passing Bryggen, which is Bergen’s most iconic landmark and has been a trading hub for over 900 years. The narrow, colorful wooden houses were the headquarters of the Hanseatic merchants from the 14th century, and despite several fires, they have been rebuilt using traditional methods. From the boat, you can see their distinctive facades reflected in the water, a view almost unchanged since medieval times. Today, Bryggen is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, home to restaurants, shops, and museums.
