Fredrikstad is a city in Østfold county in Norway.

[edit] Get in

Fredrikstad is served by the Norwegian State Railway [1] on the Oslo-Halden line. There are also numerous express busses between Oslo and the towns and cities in Østfold, including Fredrikstad.

The main airport serving eastern Norway is Oslo Gardermoen (OSL), which unfortunately is far north of Oslo while Fredrikstad is far south of Oslo. Nevertheless, there is a bus service (line F11) between Fredrikstad and the airport taking slightly over two hours.

Some people find a good deal if they fly to Gothenburg instead, and take the train or drive from there. Gothenburg is even further from Fredrikstad than OSL is (though the difference in time is less than an hour), but sometimes the tickets might be better there.

A new passenger terminal at the military airport at Rygge near Moss was opened in October 2007 and is considerably closer. Norwegian and a selection of charter companies service this airport.

[edit][add listing] Do

Take a walk around the Old Town, on a sunny day it is beautiful. Especially great for kids as there are grass to run on, old cannons to climb, a playground and lots of ducks to feed. Go for a cup of hot cocoa and a cinnamon"snail" at Mormors Café afterwards.

There are two coffeeshops in the city centre that make very good coffees, milkshakes, smooties etc. One is Verdensspeilet (World Mirror) right opposite the cinema and the other is Syversen Tea And Coffee. Both have friendly staff and great coffee, and are great for å quick bite. if you want to stay a little longer, maybe have a beer and play a boardgame then Verdenspeilet is the best choice.
