Bryggen, Bergen

A row of colourful wooden merchants' houses on Bergen's harbour, the old Hanseatic wharf, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Explore the narrow wooden passages behind the façades, with craft shops and galleries. The Hanseatic Museum and the Bryggens Museum tell the history.

Ride the Fløibanen funicular up Mount Fløyen for the view over the city and fjords, and visit the fish market. Bergen is the gateway to the fjords and the end of the scenic Bergen Railway from Oslo. It rains a lot; bring a raincoat.
