Review:

Gamle Fredrikstad is one of the warmest cities in Norway, and this doesn't just refer to the fact that the Hvaler islands off the shore are the sunniest spot in the entire country. The Fredrikstad locals are known for their welcoming demeanor, their cheerful sense of humor, and their willingness to direct visitors to their favorite cafes and attractions. However, if you're only here for the day, there's a good chance that you'll spend most of your time in the fortified Old Town, which was originally established in 1567 and remains one of the best-preserved Nordic towns of its kind.
