Enjoy personal service with a small group including complimentary refreshments.Take to the streets on foot with your expert guide and immerse yourself in Bergen's contrasts of old and new. Follow the waterfront and marvel at the mountain scenery that offers a wonderful backdrop to the harbor. Pass the Bergenhus Fortress that dates back to the Middle Ages and notice its neighboring Old Coronation hall and Tower of Rosenkranz.
Stop at Bryggen and make the most of endless photo opportunities while you learn about and explore the 18th century Hanseatic merchant buildings that were built in a traditional style after a sweeping fire destroyed much of the area. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage protected area, narrow alleyways run between the rows of houses and you’ll walk with your guide through the warren of wooden structures. Today, artists and craftsmen have moved in to the pretty buildings and they face the harbor alongside restaurants and a variety of shops.
Continue into the city center to discover the main highlights and attractions before following your nose to the famous outdoor fish market. Learn about Bergen’s fishing industry, see a rainbow of colors in the produce on display and taste the local specialties with a platter of fresh seafood accompanied by a warming cup of tea or coffee.
