This is a harbour side area (Bryggen means wharf) with a collection of brightly painted wooden buildings that now serve as shops and cafes. In a former life, they were a warren of warehouses that developed during Bergen’s membership of the Hanseatic League, a trading partnership between various Baltic ports. People both lived and worked here, many of them foreigners, and while the scene is now quite tranquil and picturesque, historically it would have been full of hard graft and hubbub.

By the harbour - you can't miss it
