Bryggen is the old wharf of Bergen, a row of wooden merchant houses along the eastern side of V\u00e5gen, the harbour in the heart of Norway’s second-largest city. It is within easy walking distance of the rest of the centre: the Bybanen light rail runs from Bergen Airport into town, the railway station is a short walk away, and cruise passengers can walk here from the port. The wharf is an open public area, free to wander at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geschichte und was Bryggen ber\u00fchmt macht<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Bryggen recalls Bergen’s place in the trading empire of the Hanseatic League. Around 1350 the League set up one of its four overseas offices, or Kontor, here, and German merchants controlled the trade in stockfish, dried cod from northern Norway, until the office closed in 1754; Bryggen is the only one of the four offices still preserved. The wharf has burned many times, most recently in 1955, and has always been rebuilt on the old plots with traditional timber techniques, so its appearance today dates from after the great fire of 1702. Some 62 buildings survive, their gabled fronts painted red, ochre, yellow and white, and Bryggen has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Was man sehen und tun kann<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The real pleasure lies in the narrow wooden passages and galleries behind the waterfront, where craftspeople, artists, small shops and caf\u00e9s now fill the old merchant houses. Bryggens Museum, built in 1976 over medieval remains uncovered after the 1955 fire, tells the story of early Bergen, and the Hanseatic Museum shows the German merchants’ assembly rooms at Sch\u00f8tstuene, with adult tickets at 160 NOK including a guided tour and free entry for children. At the northern end of the wharf stands Bergenhus Fortress with the medieval H\u00e5kon’s Hall and the Rosenkrantz Tower, and the Fl\u00f8ibanen funicular up Mount Fl\u00f8yen and the Fish Market are only a few minutes away. Come early in the morning or in the evening, as the wharf gets very busy in the middle of the day when cruise ships are in port.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
