Review & FAQ:
Draped across a pair of islands in the Drobak Straight, the Oscarsborg Fortress is best known for playing an important role in protecting Norway from the German invasion of 1940. The fortress has since been converted into a fascinating museum, which can be reached by a 10-minute ferry ride from Drobak. During the summer, the fortress hosts courtyard opera performances, art galleries, and various other cultural events. Visitors can also explore the tunnels under the building, dine at one of the on-site restaurants, or go crab fishing. Guided tours of the site are available, but must be arranged in advance.
