Historic Bergen and Bryggen - Bergen, Norway
Established nearly 1000 years ago, Bergen became a major Norwegian commercial center. This role was reinforced in the 1300s when a kontor - or foreign trading post - of the Hanseatic League was established here.
Bergen's colorful kontor, known as Bryggen, is the only suriving Hanseatic kontor (although many of the buildings have been rebuilt over time due to fire and age), and is a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site.
In addition to Bryggen, Bergen is home to a number of historic sites. The area is also quite beautiful, as rugged mountains surround the coastal city and area fjords.
