The star shaped ancient city of Fredrikstad, founded in 1567, is the best-preserved fortified town in Northern Europe

We stroll along the winding cobble streets within the ramparts of the old town with our guide. While taking in the historical atmosphere we are reminded that the place is still very much alive and vibrant with locals living and working within the fortification. For centuries, the town and many of its buildings were used by the military, but today the historic buildings houses artists, craftsmen, cafes and shops.

A two hours guided tour includes a visit to the Fredrikstad Museum followed by a visit to the nearby niche boutiques and galleries.
