Considering we were travelling in the area during off-season, on weekday time which meant that a lot of places, like the museum, were closed, they were really helpful in finding what to do: we got maps and recommendations.
Please add your opening times, if you have any
Very friendly and helpful staff
(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)...
(Translated by Google) I was supposed to have a city map, but everything was closed and locked. (Original) Skulle ha bykart,men alt var lukket og låst.

Opens the seal to Gamlebyen...one of the landmarks of Fredrikstad Kommune. Quite ambient, very efficient ferrying service. I like it. Not really, I loved it.
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.

Outstanding , great price, great experience highly recommend
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! 😊👍

A very beautiful place and fantastic landscape.
Raw and beautiful. Love the wild grass and flowers overflowing the fort during Summer.
Tranquility, open space lots of local history. beautiful boats and ships to behold. most have a plaque with descriptions of the vessles. Most owners are happy to talk about their vessles, if you have questions do not hesitate to ask someone on the dockside. I have never met a displeasable person there.
Great place to everybody!
Nice place with a cool view, but be carefull because the homeless people that live in there bite
Historical place. Went there for a event for kids and it was good. When there isent events I guess you would go for the history if your into that.
Another amazing place
A good place to hide comfortably not far from a cozy city.

This is a five star Island, the hotel in the centre of the island is very idyllic and peaceful. There is also lots to explore all around the island. The rock climbing on the island is top of the line for a day trip. Or if you wish put down a tent and enjoy the sound of the ocean . highly recommended place to visit. There is a ferry that leaves from the parking lot though the prices seem to be going up and up every year. Enjoy and Wear Your hiking boots!

Great place. Beautiful, interesting and accommodating. Not necessarily a good bet for people with mobility issues. The museum might be able to help at daytime, though. This also a nice place for an outing and is always open, but be sure to clean up after you. Leaving stuff behind here really ruins the experience for others.
A very interesting place. It was fortune, that we stay a night here and we were absolutely surprised of the surroundings. Many ways to walk and you also get the chance to learn something about the history.
Well preserved fort
I love to visit the historical place. Go to old Fredrikstad and old city in Fredrikstad is an expereience when you (are) travelling to/in the East of Norway ( gamlebyen, gamle Fredrikstad)
Very nice fort, you cane have a great view of Fredrikstadt and golf court.
Everytime I go I enjoy itmoreand more. The change of seasons and all the beauty within... If I move here soon im gonna ask them for a job. These are pano shoots with all the forts within . look close and I will see...
Came to see the fort after driving from Oslo. Got here and the place is closed because of some theatre production at 11am??? Nothing posted anywhere else to indicate such. The guy goes “come back next time you are in Norway!” Norwegians live up to the expectation of poor hosts!
It's a beautiful fortress on a hill in Fredrikstad, placed at a distance from the Old Town itself, but not very far, so it's worth taking a 10-minute walk from Gamlebyen (fortified Old Town by the river) to visit this well preserved military fort dating back to A.D. 1685. The advantage is a nice view from the hill and fortress walls in all directions and an encounter with a piece of Norwegian history. The gates are open even after dark, so it's convenient to come late. A great and romantic place!
I'll never travel to Fredrikstad without this trip planner again
