The best preserved fortress town in the nordic countries is both vivid, charming and very interesting.

Gamlebyen, the Old Town, is one of Norway´s most popular tourist attractions and without doubt the one attraction you MUST visit while in Fredrikstad.

Not only is the Old Town Scandinavia´s best preserved fortress town, but it is also a dynamic quarter of the city. Within the frame of its ramparts the Old Town´s cobbled streets will take you past buildings from four centuries, intriguing small shops with designer goods, arts and crafts, furniture, food and curiosities. In the Tøihus you will find both Fredrikstad City Museum and the Tourist Information office. The flea market every Saturday on the town square is well worth a visit!
