Bryggen (Norwegian for the Wharf), also known as Tyskebryggen (the German Wharf), is a series of Hanseatic commercial buildings lining the eastern side of the fjord coming into Bergen, Norway. Bryggen is on the UNESCO list. I don't know if you can see it, but the houses tilt against each other
Hiking the local favourite Vidden Trail from Mt Ulriken to Mt Floiyen overlooking Bergen.

Great hotel, lovely and clean. Breakfast was a great selection of food catered to all needs and plenty to go around. Hotel was central to the city but a little tucked away so it was calm and quiet. Will definitely consider staying again the next time we are there.
