A Taste of Bergen by Foot
History and Culture of a City Told in its Cuisine Discover Bergen’s history through a tasting platter of local favorites. Bergen’s food culture is based on the fish trade, which was integral in building the city’s wealth since the days of the Hanseatic League. Meet your guide, then set out along the harbor for a walk along the rows of picturesque wooden buildings at Bryggen, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. At the fish market, prepare to use all your senses to understand the heritage of this important Norwegian city. Here, you will sample several bite-sized tasters, including dried codfish, smoked herring and gravlaks.

Top it all off with dessert at a classic local restaurant before walking back to your ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
