What To Expect
Bryggen Hanseatic Wharf
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.

4.00The tour start was easy to find. We liked hearing the story, the background history and the walk through the beautiful streets. So sad 350 women were condemned as “witches” during 150 years. Also sad that “pack” mentality still exists in our world. Would very much recommend this tour, even in the rain.
Fantastic, interesting and Informative.

5.00Absolutely fantastic tour, so informative and interesting. Easy to follow map too. I'm delighted I did both Viator tours, felt like I really got to know Bergen better, and visualise the olden days. Such good value thanks.

5.00A great foot tour of Bergen while hearing a riveting story. This was a marvelous way to see the city. We stopped by several unscheduled stops for a glass of wine, a bit of shopping and lunch at the fish market. Only negative was the distance from our cruise ship to the start point. We took the Hop on Hop off bus around first and then got off to do the walk.
