    Unique and beautiful place that definitely is worth visiting. It’s rather small so you don’t need much time to walk around. You can walk on the city walls or just wander through the charming streets. There are also nice restaurants and local shops.

    This is a great day trip from Oslo!
    Be sure to give yourself time to enjoy the free ferry and the islands available. Discovering Hope Cathedral was a an unexpected gem.

    We were surprised by the size of the model railway layout. There were so many cute and funny details to discover. If you enjoy model railways or are travelling with children, it's an absolute must-see! Tip: There is also a small café.

    Great location and great little cafe with cinnamon rolls. However, the highlight is the glassworks and watching the pieces actually be made. Wish I could have purchased more pieces to bring home.

    The fortress is a part of the old town in Fredrikstad. This is a place full of history and you can walk around the island in a short time. There is a very nice cafe with good food and a nice selection of locally produced beer. Worth a visit!

    On approaching and seeing the sturdy doors wide open we were certain that we could spent an absorbing while enjoying an account of this delightful town.

    But not to be. Learnt that it opens on June 18th, classed as the beginning of the Summer Season.

    However it was good to see the delightful building that dates from 1775. Then the country’s largest building it served as the Tøihuset.

    Stayed in for two days with our three children, Staff is very helpful and the general service was excellent!
    The suite we rented was elegantly furnished, clean and nice with a classic feeling.
    The food service is very good and the courses was always elegantly presented and on time.
    The experience of this traditional but unique hotel is very exciting, the island where it is located is great for hikes with beautiful costal surroundings.
    The Hankø island also has a lot of interesting history which enriches the experience as a Hotel guest.

    Just across three bridges from Fredrikstad you have the river, Oslofjord, woodlands, ancient farms and old Viking settlements. The biggest attraction for me: Villa Ekheim, Norway's largest private wooden building. Built in the classical Norwegian Dragon Style. Beautifully restored. Go see.

    In the charming Old Town this was our first port of call. A pretty little building on the cobbled street, the woman was most helpful.

    She gave detailed directions to Kongsten fort and history thereof. Armed with maps we set off for a great day exploring.

    I visited the Literature House as part of Fredrikstad Animation Festival and attended a great panel talk on Animation in the third floor space. The foyer type bar on the same floor works great and you can bring drinks unto the theatre.

    Downstairs is what looks like is a very popular and good restaurant that I would very much like to try out for lunch and dinner next. Will be back!

    In a grand 19th century mansion is a major centre for artists and art in the city. With almost 150 artists in association it hosts numerous exhibitions every year.

    Promoting contemporary art, across paintings and sculpture, we saw a number of striking works.
