Out and About in Drammen

In summer, you can kayak or take a boat cruise on the fjord, or hike along trails that lead you away from the city and into the unspoiled countryside around it. In winter, the trails are open for cross-country skiing, and Drammen's ski center offers 2.5 miles of slopes for downhill skiing and snowboarding.

For the best views, find Drammen hotels near the city's long coastline on Drammensfjord, a spectacular inland waterway. Drammen vacation packages give you the chance to see some interesting museums. See contemporary art by such renowned artists as Roy Lichtenstein at the Vestfossen Kunstlabratorium, open from May through October; and the works of top Norwegian painters at the Holmsbu Art Gallery. Fine local glass work is on display, along with silver, textiles and church art at the Drammen Museum for Art and Cultural History, set on a historic estate that includes a late 1700s manor house. Also stop by one of the oldest buildings in Drammen, the circa-1200 Skoger Old Church.
