Side Trips from Oslo: Places to Explore
Fredrikstad
Fredrikstad's Gamlebyen (Old Town), Norway's oldest fortified city, lies peacefully at the mouth of the Glomma, the country's longest river. Its bastions and moat date from the 1600s. After spending time in the Old Town browsing the shops and museum, take a boat or drive on to the Hvaler archipelago (20 minutes away), a popular vacation spot.
