In Bergen, Norway’s second-biggest city (population: 278,000), definitely visit Bryggen, a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site made up of more than 60 houses of German merchants from the Hanseatic League (the kind of red, gold, and white harbor-lining houses you’re picturing in your head, yes). They’re a must for any photographer, and most of the buildings are privately owned today and contain souvenir shops and restaurants.
