Tour description
Nestled between seven mountains and the sea, Bergen is Norway's most beautiful city and the gateway to the majestic western fjords. The historic Hanseatic wharf with its leaning wooden houses is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offering a glimpse into the world of medieval trade. On this walking tour, a local guide will bring the city's rich past to life.
You will explore the winding wooden alleyways of Bryggen, stroll through the vibrant fish market, and hear stories of the German merchants who once controlled the city's stockfish trade. With colorful houses clinging to the hillsides and fjords beckoning in the distance, Bergen is an unforgettable city to explore on foot.
