As we walked along the iconic wooden buildings, we felt like we've been transported back in time to when Bergen was a bustling trading hub for the Hanseatic League. Take your time to explore the narrow alleyways, each one filled with history and character. Peek into the small shops and galleries housed within the colorful wooden structures, where you can find everything from handmade crafts to traditional Norwegian souvenirs. One of the best ways to experience Bryggen is to simply wander and soak in the atmosphere. Take a leisurely stroll along the waterfront, admiring the picturesque views of the harbor and surrounding mountains. Pause to watch the boats come and go, and listen to the sounds of seagulls overhead. Embrace the "kos" by sitting at a cafe with a cup of coffee and a pastry, and watch the world go by.

It is located in Bergen, Norway, is a historic wharf area that beautifully captures the essence of the city's rich maritime heritage. The colorful, wooden buildings lining the waterfront are iconic, showcasing traditional Hanseatic architecture. Walking through Bryggen feels like stepping back in time, with its narrow alleys and charming shops. The area is not only a visual delight but also a cultural hub, hosting museums, galleries, and cafes that offer a glimpse into Bergen's past. Bryggen Hansa is a must-visit, providing a nostalgic and picturesque experience that resonates with the city's seafaring legacy.

I’m not going to lie, I was slightly disappointed with Bruggen, so much fuss is made about the place and always listed as one of the best things to do in Bergen. But to me it was a lot of hype over very little substance, we visited a week prior to Christmas and at least 60% of it was closed. The area is quaint don’t get me wrong and there are unusual gems up passageways and yes they are cool heritage buildings of the city, but… in my view incredibly over hyped. It looks nice, but if you can find anything to keep you there more than 45 minutes, I’d be amazed.

Bergen is a beautiful city and there is a lot to see and do. Bryggen is a must see just for the history and culture. The city and the owners have spent a lot of time and money preserving these beautiful buildings using traditional methods to maintain its facade. Make sure you visit the tourist centre to get a detailed history and Bryggen. Best part is that it is free! Just keep in mind there will be plenty of tourists in the area.

The most visited place in Bergen. Is open air museum of the old pier .A seating of interesting old wood buildings dated 1740 well kept nicely decorated in the original colour. Visiting you will appreciate the way they been built with particularly old wood technology .the area today is partly used as souvenirs shop's, magazine and crafts labs. The place is on more levels with long corridor and interesting store.

Direct from the postcards of Bergen, the area is a wonderful maze of alley ways among the historic wooden buildings well worth exploring. You won't be short of a souvenir shop, but there are a couple that stock more local offerings (at least, less of the mass produced Chinese made rubbish). There are plenty of shops offering a variety of merchandise and you can find yourself a nice local pub to finish the day.
