Out and About in Drammen

In summer, you can kayak or take a boat cruise on the fjord, or hike along trails that lead you away from the city and into the unspoiled countryside around it. In winter, the trails are open for cross-country skiing, and Drammen's ski center offers 2.5 miles of slopes for downhill skiing and snowboarding.

For the best views, find Drammen hotels near the city's long coastline on Drammensfjord, a spectacular inland waterway. Drammen vacation packages give you the chance to see some interesting museums.
