Strolling along its cobbled streets, we were immediately transported to another era. These <strong>colorful wooden<\/strong> facades, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, tell the story of centuries of trading history. The neighborhood has been ravaged by fire on several occasions. The houses have been completely rebuilt to their original appearance.    <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, the houses house museums, boutiques, a hotel and restaurants with terraces overlooking the harbor, all of which were packed on the day of our visit.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The only downside was that we arrived at the same time as a <strong>huge cruise<\/strong> ship, bringing with it a huge influx of cruise passengers, just like when we <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/en\/visit-stavanger\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"52931\">visited Stavanger<\/a>.
