Tour description
Cradled between seven mountains and the sea, Bergen is Norway's most beautiful city and the gateway to the great western fjords. Its historic Hanseatic wharf of leaning wooden houses is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a window into the medieval trading world. On this walking tour a local guide brings its rich past to life.\n\nYou will explore the crooked wooden alleys of Bryggen, wander the lively fish market, and hear about the German merchants who once controlled the city's trade in dried cod. With colourful houses climbing the hillsides and fjords beckoning beyond, Bergen is an unforgettable city to explore on foot.
