Bergen - the old city with a young outlook. A city with its feet in the sea, its head in the
skies and its heart in the right place - full of infectious enthusiasm, and happy to share it with visitors.
Ever since the intrepid King Olav Kyrre sailed into the harbour and founded
the city in 1070, Bergen has attracted people from all parts of the world.
Some came and went, others decided to make Bergen their home. Bergenites
travelled abroad and learned and so Bergen became a melting-pot of cultures
and Norway's most international city
Bergen grew up around its colourful harbour - it was the hub of commerce, seafaring
and craftsmanship. It became the north's largest city, Norway's first capital city and
the seat of royalty. So important was Bergen by the 13th century that the Hanseatic League -
the German medieval guild of merchants - opened one of their four European trading posts on
the wharf known as Bryggen. Some members of the Hanseatic League chose to become citizens
of Bergen. And so have many others throughout the centuries. But Bryggen stays the same, its
façade just as it was in the 11th century, untouched by shifting times. It has become a symbol
of our cultural heritage and has gained a place on UNESCO's World Heritage List, making
Bergen a World Heritage City.
