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!

Northern Europe's best preserved Fortified town, is thriving with history, shops, galleries and café's.
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.

The operation of the over 30 different trains are computer operated, providing a rich experience of the railroad traffic. Don't miss the scale model of the Old Town in the heart of the exhibition.

(Roed Gaard) Roed Farm is the place for cultural experiences for the whole family! The main building is almost 300 years old and is situated in beautiful cultural landscape. If you would like a guided tour of the main building and the lovely rose garden, contact us for further details. We also accompany for private parties in the old potato storage or outside in the garden. Roed Gaard is a lively, cultural environment with many artists who have their own workshops and stalls, where you can buy their work. You will also find galleries specialising in art and craft and picture art. We won’t settle for just that though. We also have glass blowers, jewellery artists, design, wallpaper, guitar and accordion makers, photographers and a workshop where picture frames are made. In the storehouse you will find great antiques and in the farm shops you will be able to buy homemade chocolate, learn about how soap is made in the soap works and go back in time to learn about the art of weaving in the weaving house. In our café we serve freshly baked pastries. During the summer season, there are many events that take place, such as concerts and our very own Roed Rock. In the early morning of 11th March 2010, the barn at Roed Gaard burnt down. Several animals succumbed to the fire. The music school, Gallery Kvinnelist and photographer Helge Ek's studio, all situated at the farm, burnt down too. Millions of kroner worth of art were destroyed in the fire.

Borgarsyssel Museum holds an extensive collection of artifacts and old objects from different periods of time. In addition there are about 20 old buildings showing ostfold's history from medieval to present time. The museum was built in 1924 and is situated at the ruins of Nikolas Church from 1115.
Very interesting exhibition on Sarpsborg's history, from the Viking Age (and even earlier) to date. Great overview of the town from the tower. Furthermore, the "1000-year path" leads you through centuries of industrial history related to the great waterfall of the river Glomma.
