Skuteviken

White wooden houses line narrow cobblestone streets leading down to the waterfront, creating a network of residential paths in this northern section of Bergen.

The district emerged as a settlement for maritime workers and fishermen in the 1600s, maintaining its original street layout and architectural character through centuries.

Local residents maintain Norwegian traditions through seasonal celebrations and community gatherings, particularly during the summer solstice and winter festivals.

Visitors reach Skuteviken by walking 10 minutes north from Bergen's fish market, following the coastal path past Bergenhus Fortress.

The neighborhood contains a series of preserved wooden storehouses that reflect the traditional Norwegian construction methods used for coastal buildings.
