Nice to walk through, free. Nice views of the water. There was some sort of museum, but we didn’t go in. Sorry, nothing to get too terribly excited about. Full review by Linda C

We actually were there in April and the tourist office told us it would be open but it was not. When we arrived the sign on the door posted hours and days but nevertheless it was closed all day. This was the only time we encountered this in all of Norway. Other museums were very organized. So the moral of the story is: when you get there, just go and hopefully you will be able to get in. If it is the same week as Easter, it will be closed the entire week.
