Introducing Drammen
Drammen is an industrial centre of more interest to businesspeople than tourists. With heavy port machinery and factories, it hardly jumps out at you as being worth a stop. It does, however, have a couple of quirky elements – Drammen was the start of the Royal Road to Bergen and it was the original home of the potato alcohol aquavit – which may warrant a detour. The Drammen Kommune Offices (03008; www.drammen.kommune.no; Engene 1; 9am-5pm Mon-Fri) can provide further information.
