Itinerary
Bryggen, the old wharf of Bergen, is a reminder of the town's significance as a feature of the Hanseatic League's trading empire from the 14th to the mid-16th century. Numerous fires have ravaged the trademark wooden houses of Bryggen.
The Holy Cross Church or Korskirken was built in the latter part of the 1100s. There have been numerous augmentations, reproductions and rebuilding efforts through the ages, frequently because of the many fires which have ravaged the church and town.
This street is now called Kong Oskar's Gate. It used to be where all the shoemakers worked and was known as Sutarestretet or shoemakers street.

About Bergen
Bergen is Norway's rainy fjord capital, a harbour city of colourful wooden wharf houses, mountain funiculars, a fish market and the gateway to the fjords.
Bergen sits between seven hills and the sea on Norway's west coast, with the wooden buildings of Bryggen, once the Hanseatic League's trading wharf and now a World Heritage site, lined along the harbour. The steep gabled houses stand in rows with narrow passages between them. Bergenhus Fortress, with the medieval Haakon's Hall, guards the harbour mouth, and Bergen was a capital of Norway in the 13th century.
Top-ranked sights in Bergen: Mt. Floyen (Floyfjellet), Hardangerfjord, Fantoft Stave Church.
