The Norwegian Knitting Industry Museum

A reconstructed town with about 50 wooden houses from the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries. It is a beautiful place to stroll on a sunny day. The more cultural traveller will enjoy a guided tour of the area and the houses.

In Lower Sandviken near the small market square, there is a nice collection of traditional white wooden houses.

Pleasant park at the very tip of the peninsula, towards the sun set late summer evenings.

An area with more regular and wider streets, highly characteristic style.

A small traditional neighbourhood around a small bay just east of the fortress.

The aquarium has a nice selection of aquatic life, especially penguins and seals. Typical Norwegian aquatic life is well documented, and there is also a collection of tropical fish and animals and a shark tank with an underwater glass tunnel. Fun for kids.
