Norway

By Travelog Editorial Team · Updated August 8, 2026

Norway is live on Travelog with one city, Bergen, home to Bryggen, the old Hanseatic wharf UNESCO inscribed in 1979, a genuinely fire-scarred site rebuilt after documented major fires in 1198, 1248, 1476, and 1702, with today's wooden buildings dating largely from that final 1702 reconstruction.

Bryggen's UNESCO story is genuinely one of survival through repeated destruction, the wooden wharf visitors see today isn't the original medieval structure but a faithful rebuild following the same plan after a documented history of major fires, most recently in 1702. Its landmark page is live now.
