There is no better way to discover a city than by walking through its streets. During this walk we will visit the most emblematic parts of the city center. The capital of the Norwegian fjords always has something to offer us, a place full of history and tradition that combines an international city with the charm of a village of wooden houses.
On our tour we will pass through Bergenhus (former fortress of the Norwegian kings), the church of Santa Maria, the fish market and various points of interest that will allow us to learn more about the culture of Bergen. The visit will lead us through the alleys of Bryggen, a former Hanseatic neighborhood proclaimed a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The old neighborhood on the quay embodies the importance of the Hanseatic League in the city, being the only Hanseatic commercial office preserved outside Germany.

We will end our visit with an optional tasting of typical products in the fish market.
The walk through the heart of Bergen is the ideal way to enjoy the atmosphere of the city.
