Bergen’s compact medieval core unfolds slowly beneath the sharp angles of its famous Bryggen wharf. Here, cobblestone streets whisper stories of seafarers and merchants as you step into a two-hour walking tour that links history, culture, and local flavors in a seamless thread. The day begins amid the colorful wooden houses—the remnants of Bergen’s Hanseatic past dating back to the 14th century—before threading toward the imposing walls of Bergenhus Fortress. This fortress, standing since the late 11th century, guards the city with Haakon Hall and Rosenkrantz Tower, silent witnesses to centuries of shifting power and maritime trade.
