Bergen Fish Market (Fisketorget i
Bergen)
A very
popular place with both locals and visitors, this is the
place to go if you want to experience normal, every day life
in Bergen. Located in the heart of the city, there's
everything from fresh-caught fish, flowers, fruit,
vegetables, handicrafts and souvenirs.

Bryggen (the
waterfront)
One of the
most iconic sights in Bergen is the colourful buildings of
the waterfront, which date back almost 900 years and are now
a UNESCO World Heritage site. The area was once the heart of
a thriving international (for the medieval ages) trading
city, and even today visitors come to Bergen from around the
world, as the city serves as the starting point for many
cruise lines to the western fjords.

Fantoft Stave Church
Located at Fantoft, just outside Bergen, this old
stave church is an excellent example of the kind of
churches that were once commonplace throughout the
country. First built in 1150, the current building
is actually a reconstruction, as the original
centuries old structure was burnt down in a 1992
fire.

|
Haakon's
Hall
Built in
the 13th century in the orders of King Haakon, this
hall is one of the most important buildings at the
Holmen, the residence. Among the many historical
events that have taken place here is the wedding and coronation of King Magnus Lagab.
