Goes along river Glomma from Gressvik to the Old town with stops in centre, every 20 mins and across the river from the Old Town every 15. Excellent for both tourists and commuters. Only grumble:: the oldest boats are noisy in reverse gear. I live in Fredrikstad, so use it often.

You can get there by car, but if you walk up the hill, starting from the harbour, you will enjoy it even more. I loved it all: the catacombs with candle lights, the guides in costumes, the light- and film-show at midnight, the amazing views. I'll be back!
3. Isegran
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 59 reviews
The peninsula’s history is thought to have started with small fortifications which were built during the 13th century. Until 1680 Isegran was Norway’s only sea based military harbour. At Isegran you will find the Fredrikstad museum where many exhibitions are held. From Cafè Galeien you can take in the beautiful view of Gamlebyen (The Old Town) and Vaterland in the south. Here you will find a maritime centre which builds and restores wooden boats.

I love this place. Charming old fortress town filled with history (take a walking tour), beautiful buildings, cafeterias (try Mormor's Cafe or Magenta) and shopping (Kortevaren is a must) and lots of small galleries and artist's shops, glass blower's hut etc. A flee market in the town square each Saturday. Take the free ferry across the river to visit Fredrikstad sentrum as well.

Visiting Moss in summer i brought my grand son around Moss city centre hunting for "poles" which were placed around in the city. It brought us through Nesparken, a really nice place, relaxed atmosphere! Also nice to sit and rest your legs.
