Bryggen (the dock), also known as Tyskebryggen (Norwegian: the German dock), is a series of Hanseatic heritage commercial buildings lining up the eastern side of the Vågen harbour in the city of Bergen, Norway. Bryggen has been on the UNESCO list for World Cultural Heritage sites since 1979.
The city of Bergen was founded around 1070 within the boundaries of Tyskebryggen. Around 1350 a Kontor of the Hanseatic League was established there, and Tyskebryggen became the centre of the Hanseatic commercial activities in Norway. Today, Bryggen houses museums, shops, restaurants and pubs.
Bryggen was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979, by Criterion (iii): Bryggen bears the traces of social organization and illustrates the use of space in a quarter of Hanseatic merchants that dates back to the 14th century. It is a type of northern “fondaco”, unequalled in the world, where the structures have remained within the cityscape and perpetuate the memory of one of the oldest large trading ports of Northern Europe.
Notable houses at Bryggen include Bellgården (a 300-year-old building),[7] Svensgården, Enhjørningsgården, Bredsgården, Bugården,[8] Engelgården. The oldest and tallest building in the area is St Mary's Church. Streets include Jacobsfjorden.[9] Museums include Bryggens Museum and Hanseatic Museum and Schøtstuene. (Wikipedia)

On a Norwegian scale, Bergen is a large city, but one with a small-town charm and atmosphere. Its passionately patriotic inhabitants are proud of their many-sided city and its history and cultural traditions..Bergen is famous for the seven mountains surrounding the city centre, the Hanseatic Wharf, the fish market, and one of Norway's biggest cultural events, the Bergen International Festival,
I never get tired to look at Bergen from above! I can always find out new fascinating view from different sides of the city! Enjoy that one by "night" (it was just 17:30!!!). I was shooting that one during a long walk after a day of work, it was nice to keep walking with the cold just for enjoy this beautiful view!

I had the pleasure of visiting Norway back in April, 2012. I absolutely loved Bergen. I know these images are a little repetitive, but I couldn't pick just one.
Bergen, Noruega

La ciudad de Bergen fue fundada en 1070 por el rey Olav Kyrre. Bergen celebró su 900.º aniversario en 1970. Era considerada la capital de Noruega en el siglo XIII, hasta 1299.
Bergen adquirió importancia gracias al comercio del bacalao seco de la costa norte del país, que empezó alrededor del año 1100.
