The beautiful row of wooden houses is a must-see in Bergen. The buildings exude charm, and are as striking as they look in postcards of the area. While the look of the buildings has been preserved, the lower levels have been converted into shops, cafes, craft workshops, artists’ studios, and galleries. At the Bryggen Museum, you can see a number of items found in excavations that date back to medieval times. The excavated items give you somewhat of an insight into the daily life of those who lived in the area hundreds of years ago.
While at the wharf, take some time to visit the Hanseatic Museum, a preserved and restored wooden house that shows how the bachelor merchants lived and worked.
