Activity itinerary

Bryggen Hanseatic Wharf (Pass by)
Bryggen, the old wharf of Bergen, is a reminder of the town's significance as a feature of the Hanseatic League's trading empire from the 14th to the mid-16th century. Numerous fires have ravaged the trademark wooden houses of Bryggen.
Korskirken (Pass by)
The Holy Cross Church or Korskirken was built in the latter part of the 1100s. There have been numerous augmentations, reproductions and rebuilding efforts through the ages, frequently because of the many fires which have ravaged the church and town.
Kong Oscars Gate (Pass by)
This street is now called Kong Oskar's Gate. It used to be where all the shoemakers worked and was known as Sutarestretet or shoemakers street.
