The Essence of Bergen - 90-minute Walking Tour｜Norway

Begin your walking tour at the Tourist Information Center and set off into streets where every corner has a story. Wander through Bryggen, the UNESCO-listed wharf that speaks of Hanseatic trade and Bergen’s European influences.

Continue along Øvregaten and Lille Øvregaten, the oldest streets in town, to reach the Cathedral. Hear about Magnus Lagabøte and see a "gift" left by the colonial power struggles a few hundred years ago.

Through Skostredet, head toward Festplassen and Byparken, to discuss Norway’s long struggle for independence and its National Romantic movement, which is intrinsically tied to Bergen.
