It doesn’t take long for a sense of history to overwhelm you when walking through the narrow passageways of Bryggen’s wooden warehouses. Yes, the building facades are immaculate, swashed with muted red and brown earthen hues, but every step on wooden plank floors and stairwells seemingly comes with a creak or two, like the infrastructure is grunting with old age. Bryggen, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a must-see in Bergen; if you’re down by the waterfront, you can’t miss it.
