Things to see and do Drøbak

At the end of the last century, this region was the "Barbizon School" of Norwegian painters such as Christian Krogh and Fritz Thaulow. On the square in Torget Tregaardens Julehus, you'll find Santa's house. The traditions of this pagan holiday are deeply rooted in northern countries. Santa's house sells Christmas tree decorations all year round on December 25, and has its own post office. But you know the story, don't you?

An interesting attraction for young and old alike as it is the only saltwater aquarium in the region. The underwater life of the Oslo Fjord is explained in detail and well illustrated. Fun activities are also offered for the little ones. You can even organise a birthday party! Their mascot is a very old wolffish named Hugo. He is almost scary to look at, but nature is beautiful and fascinating!

The fortress is a historic building that played a major role in the country's history, notably by sinking a German cruiser during the German invasion of Norway in the Second World War. As a result, the royal family and government escaped to the UK in extremis. It's one of the finest examples of Norwegian military art, and the pride of the local population. A monument not to be missed if you're in the area.
