(Translated by Google) Is there anything more wonderful than walking around and enjoying the unique nature at Strömsholm Castle? One cannot help but be happy in the soul. 😁 (Original) Finns det något mer underbart än att gå runt och njuta av den unika naturen vid Strömsholms slott? Man kan inte annat än bli glad i själen. 😁

An 1000 year old Manor with a history going back to the stone ages. Beautiful gardens and excellent views. Staff are very friendly and welcoming and knowledgeable. I recommend you to visit the gardens and museums but take some time to visit like an afternoon, the whole afternoon. Walk around eat lunch and have a afternoon tea or coffee later and enjoy the surroundings . It’s so worth it.

Beautiful place and lots of history. The entrance price may seem a little expensive, but it's totally worth it as you can spend an entire day inside this place, learning, walking, eating, having a coffee, taking pictures and short tours. Definitely worth a visit if you're nearby.

Wonderful park to stroll around in and explore the various old houses collected in the region and placed here. Incredible flower arrangements, well trimmed hedges etc. a very nice park environment. If you get hungry, check out the Wärdshus which is located just outside the entrance.

Lovely Park. Beautiful little historic Swedish houses scatteted through the gardens. Majestic manor house with a lovely view over the lake.

Amazing place… beautiful garden with pleasant atmosphere.. visit in summer weekend is perfect… nice activity for children..

Mainly an open air museum, with lots of plants, flowers and old buildings in lush and well kept surroundings. Due to the flowers it is also teeming with bees, butterflies and lots of birds

An absolute must visit for all Pettson and Findus fans!! (Pettersson und Findus). Also has gorgeous flowerbeds, fruit trees, historic houses, a mansion, a dairy and much more to explore for all ages. A beautiful lake as well. Absolutely loved my visit.

We received a USED pair of pants with tags on them... Do they usually scam people like that, because it's never happened to us before. They'll be receiving everything back with special complaints. Shame on them! It was the first and last time buying from them. The clothes also didn't correspond to their size. We bought clothes we've owned before and we're sure about the size. The packaging was also poor. I would not recommend this online... store and if I had the opportunity to rate with 0 stars I would.

A large outlet store with clothes for all ages. There are many different brands here that I don't know. The prices are quite high in my opinion, but I managed to find training socks at a very good price. 👍 It is a bit unstructured and difficult to navigate among different garments.

The outlet is just what you’d expect plenty of clothing options at really good prices. I recommend coming here if you’re looking to buy clothes at a bargain. The factory is huge and offers all kinds of clothing for different styles and needs. However, I wasn’t too impressed with their shoe selection. I was specifically looking for loafers, but couldn’t find any. Don’t forget to check out their “Fyndtält” as well an outlet within the outlet where you can find even better deals.

I wrote a review of this place around 3-4 years ago and it was a 1 star rating. We recently visited. Oh how much has changed since visiting last. They seem to have rearranged the shop since my last visit. The place seemed more organised and tidier. We visited the on site cafe for lunch and the food was nice and very well priced. The staff were also so friendly. Something I cannot remember from the last time we were here. My partner and son managed to buy a few pieces of clothing and shoes for a good price. Myself I just came away with a belt due to being too fussy with my clothing requirements. For me the mens clothing I looked at lacked too much in the quality department. Hence them being in the outlet for that reason I imagine. Well done to the staff there :-)

Lots of clothes for men, women and children. The first time I saw so many jackets, trousers and suits in one place

Made a little detour that day just to come have a look at this Outlet. We were looking for some Saki coats or jackets, which are quite pricey in our country. The Outlet didn't look like much from outside, but don't let the plain look fool you. There is a huge selection of numerous big brands. And many many at low prices. You can spend a huge amount of money in here. We got what we came for. A nice Saki coat and jacket. Both almost 50% down from our prices at home. A great Outlet. For Her or Him. There's a restaurant across the road (BBQ) or a Hot Dog / Sausage stand just at the entrance (which did fine snacks for little money).

It has alot of good stuff but the big outlet iself is an average for finding the best prices. The fynd behind the store is usually the most interesting. At least for guys who are looking for business suits of brands like tiger of Sweden.

Historic houses and cosy café. Nice walk across Crown princess Victoria's lock and a bridge. Only some of the houses were open.

It is an old shop where you get local home made items like Jam, juices and other sorts of items.

A very beautiful café but only opens during summers.

Lots for the kids here today. Part of "våryran" celebration here in Fagersta.

Magic place 👍❄☃️

A very cosy and child friendly place!

Now with an ice-cream Cafe!!!

Very nice open air museum. Have many shops with unique souvenir

Its a great idyllic area beside the big park in our town and perfect for a place to relax and enjoy some historical buildings in a cozy athmosphere, both for tourists and locals in all ages. There is just one thing missing and that is...longer opening hours during the summer! Its way too early to close everything at 5pm in such a lovely place during high season when people are enjoying summer nights.

Gentle fun for the kids, with historical buildings to look around. Nice ice cream shop, cafe and a shop selling lots of things for kids, crystals Harry Potter stuff, some homeware. There’s a big park next to this place, with playgrounds and a water splash playground that’s free to use. Big hit in the summer! Easy parking nearby. A fun and not very demanding afternoon for the kids.

We were out for a walk and happened to find the market that day. The atmosphere was perfect, with lots of delicious food. Although I can’t really judge Wadköping without the market, since we were so lucky to be there that day, I must say it was a very pleasant surprise. Still, the place itself is very beautiful and definitely worth a visit.

A must-visit point in Örebro. Very lovely Swedish village open air museum. Besides cottages, there are shops, cafes, bakeries and restaurants. You can have nice time there.

good place to stroll around with family, enjoy the feeling of classic swedish building, and the history of the building. Toilet is available in the area.

Lovely area with historical buildings, museums, shops and cafes. Would really recommend to stop by the Hjalmar Bergman museum to put a bit of context to the area. Besides that, great space to wonder around and enjoy the sights the different experiences it offers.

700 years old Castle itself on the river, which is perfect for day trip or discovery beautiful cafe down there! We didn’t have time visit inside but, there’s something going on these summer days, if you check programme on their website 👍

The castle is beautiful and I like the surrounding small islands. Exhibition wise its not the best but not bad either, I think its nice that there is information about the castle’s history with some fun facts. We saw the witch exhibition as well which was very well done even tho it was not always based on facts. It had a nice atmosphere!

Örebro castle is very good in outside view. It was really nice from outside. But once you entered to the inside, literally there is nothing to see. They had only few mini models of city, castle which has covered with glasses. Other than that a drawing area for kids and stories of witches who has been in history and was doing black magic. All stories were interested to read but they are stories which no one has proof of anything. I don't think this place deserves more stars as it only good from outside only⭐. But still good place for someone who interests with these witches related stories.

We enjoyed our visit to Orebro Castle. It was much better than we expected. Of course there is plenty of history on the castle and Orebro. But they also had a very well done witches exhibit. The dungeon was very cool. But be prepared for stairs. Swedish and English are both used throughout the castle.

A night to remember for my husband and I. Thank you Candlelight! ✨ Recommend to take stage A, much better view. Will do that next time we’ll book. 🌸

Dear San Franciscan, Welcome to Sweden. This is one of the drop off and pick up site for us when we are in Örebro. This is a small castle. We arrived around 5pm and must leave by 7pm. So, we only utilized this town to get dinner nearby. We went inside the castle, but it was closed and there was not lots to observe. I noticed there’s an increase of smokers in this town.

Örebro Castle is a beautifully preserved medieval fortress located in central Sweden. Overlooking the Svartån River, it offers a blend of history and charm. Visitors can explore its rich heritage, grand halls, and stunning architecture, making it a must-see for history enthusiasts and curious travelers alike.

Nice place to relax near by stockholm if you want to have good time with family and friends. Place has got basic amenities that any camping site would have. It has pool areas that are covered in accommodation packages. The attraction lost city has separate entry ticket. A one night, two day stay seems quite adequate to experience a change from my busy schedule.

Really fun and nice, after lunch it was long queues to all the slides and quite crowded in the river, this was during the high season. Being able to checkout from the parking and money on the wrist band is more of a limit since you only pay for what you use, very convenient.

⸻ “The worst experience I’ve ever had was trying the highest slide — it nearly killed me. I hit the back of my head hard inside the slide and genuinely thought I was going to die. When we asked the guards if this was normal, they casually replied, ‘Yes, it happens to a lot of people.’ 😵‍💫 That response shocked me even more. How can something so dangerous be ‘typical’?” Where’s the safety!!!!

I was negatively surprised by the safety of this water park. There is no staff to look for the rides - there are just time-based lamps. If someone is stuck inside, tge next person will crash into you. It happened to me twice during one visit!! I was riding the snake and the yellow ride and I just stopped on the flat parts. I tried quickly to push myself to go forward, but too late - the next person crashed into me. Luckily without any serious injuries, becauae the yellow ride is quite slow (altough it was an adult man who hit me legs straight), and on the snake I was lucky - he managed to kind of swing when meeting me and did not hit me so much. At the hurricane I experienced the same as in other reviews - snapping my neck at the bottom part. Then the Lost City part - I really did not understand what it was. It has rounded PAINTED CONCRETE walls. The flow takes you towards the wall, where you have the choice to hit your foot and ankle or scratch your side, because the paint is chipped in some places and in general is not the smoothest, besides the fact that it's solid concrete ?? I got some bruises trying to get down. The three top rides are fine, besides the fact that at one of them the signal lamp did not work and it said just wait 30 seconds. How would a person who just arrived know when did 30 seconds start? The areas around the pools have some stone blocks (again concrete) scattered around with sharp angles, I was genuinely scared for the kids running around. I was really surprised and I couldn't imagine such a park in Sweden. I was not too much disappointed because the price was cheap (~195sek per person on Sunday) and I did not suffer too much damage.

Great activity for winter Mire suits for older kids than kids around 1-3 years old. Clean, organised, and helpful staff. I would recommend it. At least one-time visit is worth it.

The family and I had a great time here. We rented a little cottage for a few days and had a blast with our five year old and our 6 month old.

Love places like this! Made for playing! All our kids age 14, 11, 9, 4 found fun stuff to do. You are allowed to bring your own food, saves alot of money + not the best food here. We will return for sure! Really recomend

Awesome experience Mr Nobel stayed here for 3 years his house is converted to a museum and saw his beautiful picture and the story around his life was wonderful to hear. It's located on very beautiful place and besides his companies and his lab. We saw all his inventions and it was amazing. It's a must visit place in karlskoga as this place was very near to his heart. The most iconic thing are the tanks.

Very nice place! but as I got to know from the guide it’s only three summers that Alfred Nobel have been living in the place, so there is no too much to see. My favorite was the lab that he built there, I will try to put som photos.

I expected a lot, but was very dissappointed, especially by the cost. The entrance fee is waaaaay too high for what you get, snd you have to pay extra for the fun part … the experiments. The house is nice, but not very special and the laboratory is ok, but NOT worth the entrance fee.

Very interesting place with many fascinating stories to read about and listen to. The guides speak excellent English and signage is available in English as well as Swedish. The museum is beautifully furnished and the tour is very exciting with many stories about Nobel and his family told about different periods of his life. The laboratory building is also very well presented and has examples of the Nobel prizes and dinnerware out. There’s also a cafe available and a gift shop. Really enjoyed our visit and would recommend to anyone.

The museum was very nice, highly recommend the tour. The guide is very knowledgeable and tells the story very entertaining. We went to the 2 pm English spoken tour 😀 The experiment area at the laboratorium was good fun as well, even for adults 😁

I didn't know much about Alfred Nobel or his family. I didn't realise how his idea for prizes was opposed by all the institutions, and I didn't realise he was so clear about peace.

Very interesting and fascinating place. You will learn lots of untold stories about Nobel prize and Alfred Nobel.

Good lunch, but used to be better when the dane and the swede ran the restaurant.

Super jummy food and really nice people - we just enjoy to come there

Very good lunch and well trained staff

(Translated by Google) Closed so food and service I can't say anything about. The place is beautifully located with a nice view down to the lake, lovely garden and benches to sit outside at. Cool architecture, with the slightly unusual design language and colorful roof. Was at the exhibition in 1992 in Seville so really nice to see the house again in this environment. (Original) Stängt så mat och tjänst kan jag inte säga något om. Platsen är vacker belägen med fin utsikt ner mot sjön, härlig trädgård och bänkar att sitta utom vid. Kul arkitektur, med det lite ovanliga formspråket och färg glada taket. Var på utställningen 1992 i Sevilla så riktigt fint att återse huset i den här miljön.

(Translated by Google) On this day it was closed due to renovation. The house is beautiful and my husband has memories of the exhibition in Seville. Nice stories and events. We will come back when it opens again. (Original) I denna dag var det stängt p.g.a renovering. Huset är vacker och min man har minnen från utställningen i Sevilla. Fina berättelser och händelser. Vi får återkomma när det öppnar igen.

(Translated by Google) Extremely nice staff and environment and a fantastic experience as a whole (Original) Utomordentligt trevlig personal och miljö och en fantastisk upplevelse i sin helhet

(Translated by Google) Canteen at a university where cooking and professions related to the hotel industry are taught Nice site on the first floor of this atypical and all-glass building As for the dishes made from fresh produce, they are delicious. Price 109 SEK per person or 10 euros with unlimited meals including coffee The staff is smiling and everything happens in a soft and purely Swedish atmosphere. (Original) Cantine au sein d'une université ou l'on enseigne la cuisine et les métiers lies a l'hôtellerie Joli site à l'étage de ce bâtiment atypique et tout vitré Quant aux mets élaborés à partir de produits frais ils sont délicieux Prix 109 SEK par personne soit 10 euros avec des plats a volonté y compris le café Le personnel est souriant et tout se passe dans une ambiance soft et purement Suèdoise

Great art museum if you like Lars Lerin! Free 3hrs parking for motorhomes (just ask for a parking permit when paying the entrence fee, and make sure to park in the right area).

Impressive artworks by Lars Lerin, but the museum should be organized a bit better and give some info on what is displayed

Love his works! Museum ok, but I wish the pictures could be hung up properly. Some artworks were just stapled directly to a shabby wall.

Very nice that Lars Lerin got his own museum, its really interesting to learn more about his life. His paintings are just not my type of art because he mostly uses very dark colours like black, grey or dark blue.

A lovely surprise. Modern art that I love. It has separated after different topics..and one even for gay people. Loved it very much

Although the work of Lars Lerin is very prolific and interesting, the Sandgrund gallery/museum is a total disaster in term of exhibiting art pieces. No signage, no information, no curating what so ever. The lighting is extremely bad as it looks like a basic office space, the art pieces aren’t protected, most of the time nailed directly on the wall ( damaging the paper irremediably) or placed in between bad quality glass (which is sometime broken) A ladder or some trash cans seem to be forgotten here and there, and not to talk about the horrible plywood walls where the art pieces are hanged: poorly repainted, some holes, old plaster, tape... I find it crazy to pay an entrance fee for such a poor way of showing art.

Nice and big art gallery. I like the place and the paintings.

An ambitious and mainly well-designed museum (with all info in the historical exhibition in both Swedish and English) where a few too many spelling errors, missing props, technical issues, and vandalised signs lessen the visitor's experience. Also far, far too cold in the exhibition halls (historical artifacts may require it I guess, but why in a photo display?). Good taste in exhibition material, though.

They should have had more about Karlstad history, I think the art museum was boring. Lars Lerin is far better

There are some art work by artists and impressive thing is each artist has his or her own place to show or exhibit what he likes to. Also museum has some clues about how life starts in karlstad.

Nice museum with very different things to see and do (for kids, go to the second floor). Library closed for maintenance (19 aug 2021). Clean toilets. Free lockers. Nice museumshop en good restaurant. Visit will take between 2 and 3 hours. Entry free of charge for people younger then 25 years.

The current exhibition about the different wars that are ongoing all the time on our planet is breathtaking. Also recommend the other two, one about Värmland and one about the need to be needed.

Somehow the place is a big F.Y to Norway.

Great musuem. Nice artwork from local artists. Good exhibition for kids.

Very fun area with a lot of beautiful sights like a cool museum, great waffle lunch, and nice overgrown areas

A big and beautiful park for all the family. You find animals, playgrounds, a fountain, café, kiosk, and restaurant. There is a beach where you can swim, or you can go for a walk in the woods. Toilettes around the park. In winter you can ice skate! You can even bring your own food and grill it 😁

A big park and plenty of parking spaces (free of charge). Well kept and clean. You can take a small train which takes you around the park. There are few animals and coffee places. You can also enjoy kids theatre, just make sure to check their schedule first. A nice playground to enjoy for kids under age of 9.

Great outdoor parc. With areas for recreation and fun. Nice playground for the young. Also a small zoo and nature path. Also old buildings and a "nature room" with information regarding the local nature and wild life.

The best place for kids. Although parents are hot in the sun, children do not want to leave. There are many animals and the scenery is very nice.

Mariebergsskogen is a large park that offers visitors the opportunity to explore a variety of landscapes, including forests, meadows, and wetlands. There are several walking and biking trails that allow you to experience the park's natural beauty.

Been there during the Valborg celebrations. It is nice and a peaceful place with games for children. A good place to spend with your kids and family enjoying the cool breeze and nature.

We visited Mårbacken with three children 2-10 y.o. All had something to do and the place was nice, exhibition about Swedish schools in the past was interesting. If you're near enough there place certainly worth a visit.

Marbacka was a recommendation from a Swedish lady we met on our road trip through Sweden. If you plan to go there, do the tour through the main building. Otherwise you won't be able to go inside and see how Selma Lagerlöf lived there. We learned a lot about her and were impressed by her character and life. Plus the cafe offers a great snack/sandwich which we have never eaten before: a soft bread with potato salad, cucumber and tomato. It was delicious 😋

Very beautiful place. You can there for a long time widen

Nice little place where you can visit the house of the writer Selma Lagerlöf

Beautiful house and garden. Guided tour was really good 👍

This is one of the places you just can't miss if you're in Värmland. It is a nice park and a building worth visiting. You can get a good cup of coffee or even a lunch here but do not miss a guided visit inside the building. The visit provides a nice introduction to the life of Selma Lagerlöf at Mårbacka but also the family history and the life of the employees at the time. Remember to book the visit in advance! During summer there are always a lot of people visiting this place.

Very nice place, great guided tour. No photos allowed inside the house. I was surprised the other houses do not host more interesting exhibitions. The drive to the house on the eastern side was beautiful

The environment, both surrounding and within Sliperiet, is incredibly beautiful. The food was delicious, and the staff were fantastic. We were served by a guy named Viggo, who was exactly the kind of person you want help from and who really enhanced the experience – the right person in the right place. The children were also treated very kindly from Viggo, which was appreciated. Amenities include: * Free parking * Restrooms * Art exhibition * Wheelchair and stroller accessibility

Nice gallery. Indeed not completely worth the entrance fee but the current exhibition was nice. Restaurant also very special.

I highly recommend Sliperiet. The food was fantastic as was the service and friendliness of the staff. Great exhibition on as well. Id go back in a heart beat.

The food is really good, surprisingly good actually, and well worth a stop. Go for a starter and a main course is my recommendation. The exhibition is very much a hit or miss thing, this year, for me, it was a clear miss. I do find it expensive to have to pay for it when having food there, and they should consider allowing free entrance of you have lunch or dinner there.

We visited the place this afternoon. For a start you are charged 80 kr just to enter a building where there are two expositions, one on the ground floor and another on the second where what you see can be of your liking or not. In our case it was very disappointing. On the ground floor some of the paintings or photographs or whatever they were, are literally invisible because they are black. Yes. Just a big black square. According to the lady at the entrance you have to put your hands around your eyes (as if you had hors blinkers) to see them. Seriously, it reminded me the tale "The Emperor´s New Clothes" ("Kejsarens nya kläder" H.C. Andersen). Absolutely ridiculous. On the second floor we could "admire" aquarelles that according to the lady at the gate where almost as good as those of Lars Lerin which for us, after watching them, amounts to say that Markoolio´s music is as good as Mozart´s. Sorry if you love Markoolio. The prices, however, were typical of works by Mozart. If you are not rich do not even think about stepping in such a place. On top of that the food seemed to me very expensive and I am a chef myself. Honestly. I cannot recommend it.

We went to see the art gallery. It was a very interesting and good display, there were several artists represented. They have a packet of information on the artists to know a bit more about them. Overall, a lot of space to look at the art, but not many pieces.

Nice place with good food

The museum was closed but visited the shop and coffee shop.

Very beautiful place, amazing waterworks.

It was wonderful experience to watch how ferry pass through the canal....quite a experience

It's so special, you have to see it with your own eyes. We were here before and made the boat trip going up and back with an old train. It was unforgettable.

One of my personal favorites. The place offers a good atmosphere to spend an afternoon or evening and have a dinner plus visit the exhibition. Take a stroll around

Very interesting Spot also If No boat comes along

Recommend visiting if you have time. Beautiful to see.

Fantastic Fortress in the top of the mountain in Halden with great panoramic views of the surrounding area. It is extremely difficult to believe that battles were fought here! Even harder to believe that a Swedish king died there! Bring comfortable clothing and good shoes. The walks can be difficult and the acess to some areas hard. Good parking! Extremely recommended!

It was early morning when I arrived here. The color of the roofs, perfectly suited for mid-October, was lovely, and the atmosphere was wonderful. ​I felt like a Norwegian soldier guarding the fortress, as if I had stepped back to 1807. ​Though it is now a symbolic fortress protecting Halden, its spirit was very much alive. It was even better because the most delicious and magnificent "Restaurant Curtisen" is also located in Halden. ​When I return to Halden, I will visit again and have a delicious and dignified meal at "Restaurant Curtisen". Wait for me, "Restaurant Curtisen."

Very nice and cozy place to be when you will hv a relaxed day.. Does not recomand going around every where when it is over 30 degrees celcius..

Nice calm historical place. If you like abandoned castles and fortress with rich history this might be the right place with stunning views from top.

The fortress is a remarkably well-preserved and impressive example of 17th-century period architecture. Built by Denmark-Norway after the Treaty of Roskilde in 1658, it carries both historical and cultural significance, standing as a replacement for the lost Bohus fortress. Named after King Fredrik III, it not only reflects the military engineering of its time but also shaped the identity of the nearby town, which bore the name Fredrikshald for centuries. Walking through its grounds today offers a unique glimpse into history, with its strong walls, commanding views, and the sense of resilience it represents. It remains a beautifully maintained site and a valuable monument to Scandinavian heritage.

Nice fortress to visit when you are in Halden. On the top you can visit the museum,cafe and shop

- Important place in the history of Norway and Sweden. - Amazing panorama on the city - A lot of cannons :-) - Clean toilet inside - Many places to sit and eat/drink - Large parking

The mall has many stores. However the original supermarket now has less candy and the soda does'nt have plastic cover anymore :(

Here there are many quality goods and reasonable prices. You can buy many things from kitchen, living room, bedroom to cosmetics

Good place to buy different things. A lot of stores. Good offers at the Christmas time. Nice place to find something to eat at different restaurants. Nice atmosphere. Friendly people.

Certainly! Nordby Shopping Center offers an array of dining options, from Scandinavian cuisine to international fast food chains, making it a great place to take a break and savor some local flavors or grab a quick bite. The mall is well-maintained and provides ample parking, ensuring a hassle-free shopping experience for tourists. It's not just a place for shopping; you'll also find entertainment options, like a cinema, which can be a fun way to unwind after a day of shopping. With a friendly and multilingual staff, Nordby Shopping Center is a welcoming spot for tourists seeking a mix of retail therapy and cultural exploration in the Swedish-Norwegian border region.

“Gusto delikatesseavdeling” Yesterday we bought two types of salads to try, as it was our first time buying from this place. When we got home and started tasting them, we had to immediately spit them out and rinse our mouths — the salads were clearly spoiled. Upon closer inspection, the packaging had a strong sour and rotten smell. This is by far the worst food preparation spot in the entire shopping center. It’s honestly shocking that they’re even allowed to operate while selling spoiled food. I would never recommend anyone to buy anything from there.

Definetly try to go here on weekdays, otherwise it's quite crowded. I recommend using the roof parking on the far side next to Maximat and shopping your food there, the "Nordby Supermarket" is not as good from my experience.

Pretty decent mall, its quite large and has a nice selection of stores, though it's more long than wide so you will get some exercise, but that's probably normal with a mall of this size. Has some restaurants in the middle, some fast food joints nearby or inside and a smaller food court upstairs, so you do have a lot of options. It has free parking too.

The slides and pools were great and fun for kids, but we felt the spa options were quite limited—especially for toddlers. Hairdryers were weak, so it's a good idea to bring your own. Sauna choices were fewer than expected, and the showers felt a bit awkward. Since we visited during the holidays, it was very crowded, and the changing rooms were often messy—understandably, as not everyone cleaned up after themselves.

Always nice place for a bath. The options in pools is great and should have something for everyone :) Food is also good.

Great place to spend time with family and friends. Clean water, tidy place and neat everywhere. More than 5 separate pools for different ages and activities. Jacuzzi and sauna also present. With Bigger slides for adults and smaller slides for kids. Parking, Cafeteria, advanced locker and shower area, they do sell swim suit, cap, Goggles and flipflops. But less staffs and unable to contact them at ease. Overall excellent place.

Great place to visit with families, swing, eat, relax, spa. Much fun for the kids. Nice service. Like the new lock system. No need to bring own lock. You might have problems if you forgot something and need to exit building due to the new lock. But not a problem. The price is a bit high for a family to visit, unfortunately. Go a bit later to avoid crowded guests. Will be back☺ hope they will set the price lower for families.

I was disappointed to visit this swimming pool. The whole complex looks rather old, not modern at all, starting with lockers and showers, to the three tube-slides and the pool itself, with not very clean and clear water, no tiles on the walls or bottom of the pool. Lots of children visiting the pool (main one, unfortunately) and jumping into it from the springboards and the diving tower, making a lot of noise and blocking all lanes but ONE for those who want to swim. After kids are gone, still only two lanes are available for swimming. The two saunas (one dry and one damp) do work, but again, are old-fashioned and not really pleasant to visit. There is a nice warm-water small pool and a Jacuzzi outdoors, worth recommending, though.

Honestly best pool for kids and grow ups, i haven't found such fun pools in Oslo area, everything you need they have, highly recommend to try at least once with family.

A very, very bad, disgusting, terrible service. The entire area is run-down and neglected. They charge a lot of money. Half of the equipment doesn't work. The foot baths often don't work. There are often technical issues. Things are often closed. I do not recommend it. Very bad service.

Interesting place but unfortunately it was closed when we were there.

It was really nice visiting here. We got lucky with the weather. Had a lovely walk along the planks that lay tied on top of the water, that took us into that nature trail, checking out the log driving museum cabins on the way. Also checked out the old milling workshops on the land before wandering down to the café for a nice coffee.

Venice in Norway!

This was a really cool place. Very interesting history and a lot of fun for the kids. Worth a trip for sure.

Historical logging site with a very chili atmosphere.

Lovely museum, the booms are easily accessible and gives an unique view of Glomma and it's surrounding. The nearby nature visitation center was wonderful and we'll worth a visit.

Have a small Café and some tables and benches during summer beside the lake.

Great great lake with a very nice path to go around and enjoy it. The walk takes 30' in moderate pace, there are two beaches, a waffle shop, toilets, benches to sit and enjoy the still waters, kind people walking and enough parking, although, JUST barely as of late, Jessheim is growing. A great lake for our small city 😍

A nice place to go for a tour, it will take you approximately 30 minutes for 1 round. I always walk here and I bike sometimes. Tried visiting here on all seasons and it’s still beautiful no matter what. They even have workout equipments near the parking area that’s accessible for everyone. Love this place!

Nice place for grill and swimming

Nature place , fresh air

Beautiful place for a walk. It also has this training site with different exercises, fun for kids too.

If u live Jessheim that’s where u go all summer after work + weekends. 😉😉 and if u don’t live Jessheim I would suggest someplace else as it could be VERY VERY crowdy especially during weekends (unless u like it like that then it’s all yours ).

Great place for tobogganing from the hills onto the ice-covered lake

Nice but not very bright, flashy and modern theme park for the kids and adults who are train lovers and wants to see mini models of towns and cities and trains running between them. With every ticket, kids get free waffel or hotdog. I found it was located at a bit congested location. Many visitors cannot move freely that makes the experience a bit bitter.

This train model center is an incredible discovery! If you have a passion for trains, you can easily lose track of time spending over an hour here exploring the vast collection of model trains. There is an abundance of captivating sights to behold. Additionally, they provide an enjoyable experience with a delightful ride through a miniature town on a trackless train. It's an absolute blast!

Must see ! Enjoy the fantastic model train from Marklin You can also drive the train model if you like Go down the stair to a small cafe and get free sausage for children.. and after you get free ride with city train Very friendly people

Best hour of my life …. It’s just a fascinating world of miniature buildings, trains, landscapes… and a lot of work behind it… worth 100% to visit if you are close by

Very very nice place ! Entry is pretty cheap (50 nok). Inside, a LOT of miniature trains among miniature landscapes, it's fantastic and really fascinating. There's also a miniature model of the old town itself.

This was fun if you have an hour or a little more to spend. The boys, aged 3, 6, 38, 41 and 65 where thoroughly entertained. :)

Love it! You really need to look carefully to see all the wacky, colourful goings on! 😁 The trains are not bad either! 😊👍

Free ferry service from one side of the river to another. Transfer is free of charge and goes often. Easiest way to take a walk or bike on the beautiful surroundings of the biggest river in Norway.

Just nice to know that in this beautiful city full of history. (It's one of the oldest town in Norway) you can get to a free water taxi all year around... for FREE!! Yes exactly, the service payed by the council so why not taking advantage of it. It's just beautiful to navigate from the very center to the old town. Or one of the small islands... Just beautiful! Enjoy :)

Beautiful scenery of nature and city. Convenient and hassle free ferry transportation. And its free of cost!

Our easy way to cross the river and free of charges to the day.

Nice view, good service considering it's totally free

Nice place. Can take a ferry for free from the old city to the Fredrikstad center, Gressvik and to another side. Nice natural and nice people can you meet here.

Great sight. And the ferry is free.

Please add your opening times, if you have any

Very friendly and helpful staff

Very helpful

Beautiful!

God service

(Translated by Google) The historical center of the city. The modernity is mainly reminded of cars) Beautiful, interesting, unusual, atmospheric))) Frozen time. But a very small piece. Unfortunately, the museum was closed, although it should be working. But everything else was wonderful... quiet, calm, relaxing. (Ferries, a sea of ​​ducks on the river bank, cannons sprinkled with snow, shops, cafes, parking spaces, friendly residents)... (Original) Історичний центр міста. Про сучасність нагадують в основному авто) Гарно, цікаво, незвично, атмосферно))) Завмерший час. Але дуже маленький шматок. На жаль, музей був зачинений, хоча повинен працювати. Зате все інше було чудово... тихо, спокійно, релакс. (Пороми, море качок на березі річки, присипані снігом гармати, магазинчики, кафешки, місця для стоянок авто, привітні жителі)...

I visited the old one a few times but The new Munch in Oslo feels like a living tribute to Edvard Munch’s restless spirit. The building itself leans over the fjord like it’s daring you to step inside—and once you do, the spaces give his work room to breathe and hit you in the chest. Seeing The Scream in rotation is powerful, but honestly, it’s the quieter works and the way the light falls in the galleries that stay with you. And when you need a pause, the rooftop bar and restaurant are worth the climb—floor-to-ceiling views of the city and water, cocktails that feel almost as artful as the paintings. It’s one of those museums where the experience stretches beyond the canvas, into the architecture, the food, the skyline.

A modern and spacious Munch museum with a vast collection of his work. I have discovered an unknown to me side of his artistic journey. There is one floor that guides you through his home, showcasing his possessions. The way it is designed is quite interesting. Finally, the view from the top floor over the city is great.

A fantastic Munch gallery full of awesome arts and many interesting works! The building itself is a very architectural fascination and provide absolutely gorgeous view of Oslo fjord. Multiple levels full of arts from Munch and other artists. Surprisingly there were also many interactive art you can get a hands-on with like making your own painting from wooden crafting or exploring Munch's house with a special characters! The three scream paintings display at half an hour interval each so you might need more than a couple hours to go through all the displays. Gift shop at the ground floor also have many cool little gifts you can buy to take home. There is a locker room with bathrooms close to the entrance you can store your bags for free. However the staff weren't very consistent about what size of bag you can have with you. We had a small backpack with us that was smaller than some of the other handbags people took inside while we couldn't bring ours bag in. Definitely one of my top favourite places we visited in Oslo!

Enjoyed the great collection of Munch, allowing to immerse yourself into the artist's work. Some temporary exhibitions felt unrelated to the museum topic, hence 4/5. The building design lets you enjoy the views of the fjord and the Opera house while traversing between levels. The top floor bar offers cosy seating with view, and the ground floor cafe has nice food. The hot apple cider was great!

Really nice place with impressive paintings and a dreamy city view on the 12th floor. Especially want to say thank you to a warm-hearted gentleman staff who help me find my passport back. I accidentally lost my passport on the 12th without even noticing. Thankfully, the gentleman find the passport and he check around on different floors to find owner. It could be a disaster to me if he wasn’t so warm-hearted and helpful. Really unforgettable experience in Oslo.

An art museum dedicated to Norway iconic artist such as Munch and others. You are come and see all kinds of their art work, their work progression, their actual items that used to be used as well as enjoying the view point from the top of the building. Theres escalator and lift for easily accessible to each level. Its besides the art items theres not many other artifacts items for viewing. Hence if you aren't crazy or interested about art, this museum may not be the place for you

I came here with my mum and we had a lovely time. You are not allowed to bring backpacks into the gallery, but there are lockers at the entrance where you can securely store them whilst enjoying the exhibitions. I thought the layouts of the exhibitions were great and there was an interesting story told through the art and additional artifacts. The cafe in the lobby serves lovely coffee and baked goods and the top floor bar is a must for fantastic views over the Opera and surrounding area. The only negative we experienced was the price we had to pay for an umbrella in the gift shop when the weather unexpectedly turned wet.

Top experience – Rusalka, 2025. The music and orchestra were so beautiful > it was beyond anything words can describe. The acoustics of the main hall were designed with expert consultation, using oak paneling and wave-like surfaces to create world-class sound. The architecture > I love how it lets visitors walk on top of the building, blurring the boundary between structure and nature.

Gorgeous architecture with impressive views. The building seems symbolic of the surrounding fjords and the beauty of Norway. The steps to the roof are a gradual climb with many places to stop for children or those who need more breaks. It's wonderful to see such a new building be accessible, allowing mist everyone to experience Oslo’s beauty.

Went here to watch Eugen Onegin (Russian Opera), not sure I'm a huge fan of Opera though. But I can't rate the location low because of that! It's very nice inside, spacious and feels modern yet classic! Will come back to see maybe a Ballett instead. On the downside, the seats are very straight, and offer very little legspace, for me 195cm it was hard to find a good position to sit in for the almost 3 hours the play lasted. Therefore i give this a 4 only

The city’s landmark, probably the only building here that actually looks interesting.

You can't visit Oslo and skip this architectural beauty. Worth all the time you can spend there.

A bit busy and bit dirty but an great place to visit would go again you get an amazing view of the city and buildings when you climb the opera house only downside would be the amount of birds but it’s understandable as it is location is near the sea

I was here attending the opening concert of the Oslo Jazz Festival. The concert hall's acoustics were outstanding, perfectly complementing the modern, stylish interior. The rooftop terrace offered a stunning panoramic view of the city.

Akershus Fortress is my favorite spot in Oslo and definitely one of the must-visit places in the city. The fortress is full of history, with beautiful grounds to walk around, and it also offers an amazing view of the harbor. A perfect place to enjoy both culture and scenery in one visit.

A remarkable historical site, a nice place to walk around, a must visit destination in Oslo. We spent a couple of hours here and enjoyed our visit. It is walkable from the harbor. The harbor was beautiful too.

This fortress is a cool place to walk around with a great view of Oslo harbour! Beautiful walls and buildings. Lovely garden and lots of mushroom 🍄

Akershus Fortress is a medieval castle in Oslo, Norway, built during 1299 to protect the city. It has been a strategic fortress, a Renaissance palace, a jail and now it houses military barracks and the Norwegian Armed Forces. Historically speaking, Akershus successfully survived all sieges, primarily by Swedish forces. The immediate proximity of the sea was a key feature, wherein, the Norwegian commerce in that period, was by sea. Thus the fortress had become strategically important. So, whoever controlled Akershus fortress, actually ruled Norway. Later, however, Akershus surrendered without combat to Nazi Germany in 1940 when the Norwegian government evacuated the capital in the face of the unprovoked German assault on Denmark and Norway. The fortress was finally liberated in 1945, and was handed over to Terje Rollem. Presently, one has an option of touring the historical dungeons, Royal Mausoleum and enjoy scenic views of the city from its grounds, which are also used for events and ceremonies. We were thankfully guided by a very capable guide, upon our visit to the Fortress during July 2025. The entry is free for thr grounds but however, one has to pay for the priviledge of looking at the rest of the protected areas.

Visiting Akershus Fortress was one of the unexpected highlights of our time in Oslo. Perched right on the waterfront, this medieval castle-turned-fortress offers incredible panoramic views of the Oslo Fjord and harbor, and it’s only a short, easy walk from Karl Johans Gate. The grounds are open and free to explore, which makes it feel more like you’re wandering through living history than entering a formal museum. The atmosphere is calm and spacious, with winding stone paths, old ramparts, and a mix of well-preserved structures and open green areas. There’s plenty of signage in English, so even without a tour you can get a strong sense of the site’s layered history—from its origins as a royal residence in the 13th century to its role as a military stronghold and later, a World War II site. The contrast between the castle walls and the modern city skyline is striking, and it’s easy to spend an hour or two just exploring, taking photos, or finding a quiet spot to take in the view. If the weather is nice, I highly recommend visiting around late afternoon for great light over the fjord. It’s a peaceful and culturally rich stop that gives you a real sense of Oslo’s history without feeling overly touristy.

Good: ✅ The remnants of this fortress are very well preserved. ✅ The exterior corridors of this property make up an explorer’s paradise and it is completely free (no cost). ✅ The property is part ruins and part green space/park. ✅ There are many areas to enjoy the sun or shade. Walk, run, or chill—visits are easily tailored. ✅ Beautiful vistas throughout overlooking the bay. Caution: ❌ The property is both cliffside and hillside. It’s not a bad thing, just know that exploration requires the use of steps or steep trails. In summary, this is the crown jewel of downtown Oslo. There are plenty of pics to see what it is. If you’re into such, this place will deliver.

My visit to Akershus Fortress was amazing! The mix of history and beautiful buildings really caught my attention. The interesting exhibits helped me learn more about Norway's history. Please also visit the nearby Armed Forces Museum. There are old stone walls and remnants of history regarding this place and it is easily accessible.

Open to public, magnificent building, backing to the harbor/pier, a small garden on the side. Worth a visit and spending some time in and out of the building. In a walking distance to the Castle.

Oslo City Hall, located right next to the Nobel Peace Center and the waterfront, is one of the most striking buildings in the city. From the outside, its twin brick towers rise dramatically against the skyline, framed by the patterned stone plaza that leads you up toward its grand entrance. The approach alone is impressive — the symmetry, the waterfall features, and the sense of scale make it feel like you’re entering a truly important civic space. Inside, the mood shifts from monumental to unexpectedly vibrant. The central hall is vast, bathed in light, and filled with stunning murals that depict Norwegian history, culture, and everyday life in extraordinary detail. It’s both ceremonial and warm, a place that feels alive with stories. The murals are jaw-dropping in size and color — they stretch across the walls and almost overwhelm the senses in the best way. I especially appreciated how easy it is to access the building: free entry, minimal fuss, and plenty of space to linger without feeling rushed. It’s one of those sites that blends civic pride with genuine artistic wonder. If you’re visiting Oslo, this is absolutely worth a stop — whether you’re into architecture, history, or just want a moment to take in something grand and uniquely Norwegian.

Beautiful building with an even more amazing wall art interior! The building has free entry to visit but it can get busy so it can take a little time in the queue to get in. There is a security check before you go inside. Many beautiful art walls cover both levels of the building and in such a spectacular size! The big hall was being set up for event when we visited in the late afternoon. Nice clean bathroom just in the basement area.

Impressive building, happened to be the 75th anniversary when we visited. Not a ton to see since there was some government meeting in action upstairs. The murals inside and the floor itself are beautiful. Even if you can't make it inside (free entrance, by the way), the architecture and fountain out front are impressive enough to rate 5 stars. Don't miss the art under the covered walks along the courtyard sides, with placards telling the story of the art relating to Norwegian/Scandinavian folklore.

Visited Oslo City Hall and was genuinely impressed. The artwork and architecture tell a lot about Norway’s history and values, and the building is easy to explore. A calm, meaningful stop in the middle of the city.

Oslo Radhus or Oslo City Hall in Norway, facing Oslofjord, was finally completed in 1950 (started in 1931 to be precise, but slowing down during WW II in the interim period) to celebrate the city's 900th anniversary. It houses the city's council, administration and other municipal organizations. It also hosts the Nobel peace prize ceremony on the 10th of December each year, being the death anniversary of Alfred Nobel. Our visit during July 2025 resulted in our guide letting us know the main happenings there, however, the insides of the building, was just envisaged by us. I loved the beautiful adornment of the colourful flowers, swaying in their beds, on the other side, while we circled behind them.

Oslo City Hall is such a unique and elegant building. Its red brick architecture stands out with a strong and distinctive style, making it one of the city’s landmarks. The design is both modern and monumental, yet it has an artistic elegance that reflects Norwegian culture and history. A truly impressive place to visit in Oslo

Nice and comfortable trip takes you very close to the airport and saves time and drive especially in the winter where the roads are very slippery, the views when you are on the ferry are magnificent the only thing I didn’t like is the price because I think it was a little high

I’ve taken two trips daily, week on/week off, for the past 8 years—back to when foot passengers still had to pay. In all that time, I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve been greeted with a simple “hello” or “god morgen” by staff. That’s… impressive, in the worst way. The crew directing vehicles in both Moss and Horten seem far more interested in hiding in their shelters to smoke or having a chat out of sight than doing their jobs. Drivers often end up confused, only to be met with aggressive waving as if it’s our fault we can’t read minds. Paying customers shouldn’t feel like an inconvenience. Special mention to the guy in the white baseball cap who looks like he thoroughly can't wait to retire and forget about sea life, and also to the one who seems convinced he’s launching fighter jets off the USS Gerald R. Ford - some common cheer wouldn't go amiss! Considering the prices you charge for vehicle transport, the lack of basic courtesy and professionalism is frankly embarrassing. Word spreads—your cold attitude isn’t just noticed, it’s discussed in the travel and tourism community. Time to raise the bar.

Great way to avoid the centre of Oslo but, a bit dear!

Convenient, a lot of space , the electric ships are so quiet and no engine noise. The only downside is that the food prices are quite expensive. A lot of seats , a room for pets and a place for kids to play. 4/5 because of the food prices.

The ladies smells like heaven :D Odin is huge folks believe me

Its a perfect trip if you are here. Its free for pedestrians. Its about 30min long cruise with beautiful view. Nice new ferry!

The scenery route over the Oslo Fjord. Inexpensive and fast service.

The biggest collection of maritime artifacts I’ve ever seen. From the beginning of the Norwegian navy to the present. Models and replicas of every ship along with artifacts from the ship. Interesting and educational. There is even a kids room for children to enjoy while parents meander at the museum. Entrance is just $10 and your questions will be answered for as long as you care to learn

One of the best war museum, well managed and worth going and spending time. Very nice people on the management. I would recommend having a day trip with kids. The beauty is that the museum is attractive to every age.

A lot of ship miniatures from various eras and quite a bit of vintage equipment. For me the highlight was a submarine you can enter and check out at your own pace.

The museum has a lot of unique collection of exhibits some are unique like the real submarine. One of the old Norwegian naval museum estbd since 1853. The museum is free to visit. Maintained well. Its one of the must see attractions near Horten maritime area.

Great museum with plenty of history. Also there is an opportunity to board the submarine and frigate they have docked. Lots of history learnt.

Working hours are not updated so I recommend checking it out before you go. Other than that amazing place!

Really interesting museum. The staff are really friendly and are eager to help and explain different parts of the exhibits.
