The stalls are stacked with king crab, fresh shrimp, cod, and fresh salmon. You can also find rare ingredients like sea urchin and whale meat. Many stalls allow you to taste before you buy or have food prepared on the spot; boiled shrimp and smoked salmon sandwiches are common ways to enjoy it.

Bryggen

Bryggen means wharf in Norwegian and is also often called the German Wharf. It is located on the eastern shore of Vågen in the center of Bergen. Rows of colorful, gabled wooden houses line the harbor, reflecting on the water. The story of this wharf area began in the Middle Ages: the Hanseatic League established a trading post here, and merchants from northern Germany used it as a base to distribute stockfish shipped from northern Norway throughout Europe. The rows of wooden houses were originally warehouses for storing stockfish and grain. The houses have been destroyed by fire many times, and the current complex was largely rebuilt after a major fire in the early 18th century, maintaining the layout of the medieval trading post. When visiting, do not just stay on the harbor-facing front; the narrow alleys behind the wooden houses are more atmospheric. Hidden among the dim passageways are craft workshops, small shops, cafes, and restaurants, which feel more historic than the street-facing facade. Head to the opposite side of Vågen to look back for a full view of the wooden houses. To learn more about this commercial history, you can visit theHanseatic Museumor Bryggens Museum.

Munch

Munch is one of the must-visit attractions in Oslo. The museum houses a vast collection of Edvard Munch's paintings, sketches, letters, notes, photos, and other precious materials, offering you a comprehensive understanding of Munch's life. Interestingly, the reason Munch has been able to preserve and display so many of Munch's works and historical materials is that he was not a best-selling artist during his lifetime. As a result, many of his works remained unpublished until his death. Munch had a habit of keeping his works with him during his lifetime, and upon his death in 1944, he bequeathed all the works in his possession to the city of Oslo. The museum was established in 1963 and moved to its current seaside location in 2021. The museum houses three versions of "The Scream" — oil painting, sketch, and print — which are rotated for display due to the light sensitivity and fragility of the paper-based works, with at least one version usually on view. Masterpieces such as "Madonna," "The Sick Child," and "Puberty" are also part of the collection, and the combinations of works in different galleries are regularly changed, offering new arrangements with each visit. For large-scale works, don't miss the two-story gallery showcasing monumental pieces like "The Sun." The upper floors also feature floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the fjord and the opera house, perfect for a rest or photo opportunity.
