This is an excellent place to visit to stroll, look at the boats, see people and of course have a drink or a meal. It is highly reccomended in summer, in spring or fall when the sun is out, or even in winter to experience the cozy ambience. In summer the sun will set over the low hills to the northwest, quite late in the eveneing. So come and experience the long summer evenings like a Scandinavian. It is also buzzing for lunch. Scandinavians will jump at any excuse to sit outside in the sun! A lot of them bring friends for a "halvliter", a pint, but my husband and I usually settle for sparkling water and coca-cola, and a light meal. If you are quite young, and perhaps single, the action starts late.. after 10PM, but people of all ages go there for a drink and a meal in the early evening any day of the week. As we are an older couple, we prefer to head for home before 11, especially on Fridays and Saturdays. That is when the young crowd turn out in droves. If you are boating there are many berths, both along the quay and a little furter up where there is a little marina with many berths and shower and WC facilities. I have no idea what it costs these days.. There should be a sign or two. Someone will show up to take your money. :-) If you moor along the quay on the weekend, don't expect to have a good nights sleep. In summer that is party-time! The busiest season in Norway is medio June until medio August. In August it CAN start to be a little chilly at night .. or you can experience a Norwegian heatwave .. you never know!

The Borre Park has a vast numbers of burial mounds, many of them very spectacular. The site has been used for burials through a long time span, from the early Iron age, about 2000 years ago and continuesly used, almost up to our days. If you include the cemetery of The Pilgrimage Church of Borre.
