Bryggen is Bergen's old wharf, and its best known image. While the waterfront is most famous, I was attracted mostly by the backstreets.
Bergen is an attractive town on the west coast of Norway and it has the dubious name to be the wettest place on the European continent. Historically, life revolves around the waterfront, and the most famous place of town is the row of wooden houses on one side of the harbour, the old wharf. It is testimony to Bergen's importance in the 14th to 16th century, when it was part of the Hanseatic League. Many of the houses have sooner or later become prey of fire, and in the Hanseatic tradition were always restored to their former appearance.
