Activity itinerary

Fish Market

Our tour begins at Bergen’s historic Fish Market, a bustling hub of trade for centuries. Discover its fascinating history, from the Hanseatic era to today, and experience the lively atmosphere of this iconic marketplace!

Bryggen Hanseatic Wharf

Norway’s history and prosperity have always been deeply connected to the sea. Long before oil and gas transformed the country into one of the wealthiest in the world, dried cod (stockfish) from the Lofoten Islands was Norway’s most valuable export. For centuries, the Hanseatic Wharf of Bryggen served as a bustling trade hub, where German merchants and Norwegian fishermen came together to do business. On this tour, we’ll step back in time to explore medieval Bergen. Strolling through the narrow wooden alleys of this UNESCO World Heritage Site, you’ll hear fascinating stories about the people who lived and worked here, the importance of the stockfish trade, and how the German Hanseatic merchants shaped both Bergen and Norway.
