Bryggen
Bryggen means wharf in Norwegian and is also often called the German Wharf. It is located on the eastern shore of Vågen in the center of Bergen. Rows of colorful, gabled wooden houses line the harbor, reflecting on the water. The story of this wharf area began in the Middle Ages: the Hanseatic League established a trading post here, and merchants from northern Germany used it as a base to distribute stockfish shipped from northern Norway throughout Europe. The rows of wooden houses were originally warehouses for storing stockfish and grain. The houses have been destroyed by fire many times, and the current complex was largely rebuilt after a major fire in the early 18th century, maintaining the layout of the medieval trading post. When visiting, do not just stay on the harbor-facing front; the narrow alleys behind the wooden houses are more atmospheric. Hidden among the dim passageways are craft workshops, small shops, cafes, and restaurants, which feel more historic than the street-facing facade. Head to the opposite side of Vågen to look back for a full view of the wooden houses. To learn more about this commercial history, you can visit theHanseatic Museumor Bryggens Museum.Bergen · 36.8 km from Stamnes
