Bryggen Evening Walk - In Hanseatic Footsteps
Discover Bryggen – Bergen’s Hanseatic Heritage in Just One Hour
Norway’s history and prosperity have always been deeply connected to the sea. Long before oil and gas transformed the country into one of the wealthiest in the world, dried cod (stockfish) from the Lofoten Islands was Norway’s most valuable export. For centuries, the Hanseatic Wharf of Bryggen served as a bustling trade hub, where German merchants and Norwegian fishermen came together to do business.
On this one-hour walking tour, we’ll step back in time to explore medieval Bergen. Strolling through the narrow wooden alleys of this UNESCO World Heritage Site, you’ll hear fascinating stories about the people who lived and worked here, the importance of the stockfish trade, and how the German Hanseatic merchants shaped both Bergen and Norway.
Join me for a short but immersive journey into Bergen’s past—I can’t wait to share the incredible story of Bryggen with you!
