  5. Original Home of Potato Alcohol Aquavit

    You can also see the house (from the outside only) where aquavit was first produced, in 1804, on Sommerfrydveien by merchant Johan Godtfried Schwencke in response to a royal decree that corn not be used to produce spirits. In late autumn, Drammen holds a national aquavit competition in which celebrities judge which is the best brand.

  8. Spiralen Tunnel

    To get beyond the industry of Drammen, take a trip up the 1650m-long Spiralen tunnel to the 200m-high Bragernes for a lovely view, as well as good waffles at the Spiralentop Café. And if you still can't quite face the drive back down the six-spiral tunnel - reminiscent of a never-ending indoor parking lot - go for a walk in the Drammensmarka. Bus No 41 does the trip three times daily from Bragernes Torg (around NOK20 , 15 minutes) on weekends during the summer.
