Quarter · Bergen, Norway

Bryggen

The leaning wooden trading houses of the Hanseatic wharf, rebuilt after each fire on the same foundations since the 1100s.

Bryggen is in Bergen, and this is Bergen — the atlas draws Europe in one projection whose finest unit is about four kilometres, so it maps the town rather than the street. The frame is about 580 km across and 210 km deep at this latitude. Coastline from Natural Earth, public domain. Relief from GMTED2010 (USGS) and ETOPO1 (NOAA), public domain. The full map →

Accessibility

Not documented. EuropeDoor holds no step-free access, hearing loop or accessible toilet information for any place, and inventing it would be worse than the gap — the position in full.

Getting there

The Bergen and Dovre railways are two of Europe's great train rides and cost less than the equivalent flight if booked early. All of Norway →

We do not hold opening hours, prices or a website for this

Those are the three fields that go stale fastest and the three you are most damaged by being wrong about, so this site does not carry them at all rather than carrying an unverified version. Check the operator or the municipality on the day. The estimate of how long to give it, and the season, are editorial judgements and are usually stable.

Other places in Bergen

320 metres above the city by funicular, with a path down through the woods that most people forget to take.

Viewpoint

Fish Market

Outdoor from May, indoors year-round, and better one street back where the boats actually deliver.

Market

KODE

Four buildings on one street holding Munch, Astrup and the largest Norwegian art collection outside Oslo.
