Bergen is an old medieval charmingly compact town complete with colored wooden homes that are bright and attractive. The hotels in Bergen are well located to ensure the guests do not have to move too much for their sightseeing and other touristic activities. The Bergen hotels apart from ideal location also provide the best in terms of hospitality services and personalized attention. The location of the Bergen Norway hotels in close proximity to the important centers of the city allows guests to easily access their places of interest. This is a useful feature beneficial for the business traveler as well as the leisure traveler. The streets of Bergen are steep and cobbled lanes dotted with a vivacious blend of cafes and workshops. The travelers interested in having a peek into history will particularly be impressed with the Hanseatic wharf area which has many buildings dating from even before the 17th century which has now been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The area characterized by a mess of lopsided buildings was once the working area of the merchants of the old Bergen. In the Bergen area the other attractions include The Bryggens and Hanseatic Museums and the 12th century St. Marys Church. A visit to the citys famous fish market situated at one end of the wharf showcases a colorful market where one can pick up flowers, fruit, vegetables and souvenirs for loved ones and friends.
A close look into the Hanseatic Museum reveals perhaps the oldest preserved wooden building of the town. It was supposedly the house of a wealthy merchant furnished in 18th century style and its austere layout along with maze-like rooms drenched by the smell of fish leaves a lasting impression on the visitors mind. The ruins of the Bryggens Museum archaeologically dated to the 12th century houses artefacts and traditional costumes recreating life of the middle ages. The Romanesque stone Church of St. Marys is a beautiful masterpiece and the oldest surviving building which dates from the beginning of the 12th century. The old frescoes and a fabulous Baroque pulpit housed in the interiors is a chief attraction. To ensure one gets an opportunity to benefit from these attractions one can make advance reservations in the different Bergen Norway hotels as per ones budget and style to suit ones taste.
