Bergen is more than Bryggen and the Fish Market - come along and discover charming streets and narrow alleyways. Bergen’s small wooden houses add to the city’s charm and uniqueness. Many of these old wooden buildings date back to the 18th and 19th centuries and have been respectfully restored and refurbished in recent years.
Great areas for the charming neighborhoods are areas such as Nordnes, Nøstet and Sandviken where narrow alleyways and cobbled streets dominate. People have lived in these areas for centuries, and they are well worth exploring for their charm. To experience Bergen on foot at a comfortable pace gives a whole new impression of the city.
