Things to do in Drøbak

1. Oscarsborg Fortress

   • Drøbak, Norway
   • Sights › Fortress

   Not to be missed is the imposing Oscarsborg Fortress which lies on an offshore island and dates back to the 1600s. It was the Oscarsborg batteries that sank the German warship Blücher on 9 April 1940, an act that saved the King and the Norwegian government from being captured. The fort museum was renovated in 2005 and open-air concerts and complete operas are held here throughout the summer. There is even a hotel, spa and restaurant on the island if you want to extend your stay.

   Ferries to the island depart 14 times daily from the harbour from mid-June to mid-August.
