    Luckily, Asker doesn't have many tourist traps. At least not in the sense that you are set up/ lured into something that makes your cash depart and locals laugh.

    Asker is not a destination for international visitors, but nevertheless houses a sizeable population of foreigners married in here, working or for other reasons have migrated here. So you will have diversity, but nothing set up for tourism as such beyond hotels - whatever there is is geared toward locals.

    The closest thing to tourist traps here are the info/advertisements for local bathing places along the seacoast, really made rosy. Be aware that with the exception of Hvalstrand Bad there are no facilities and no services at these places, but that is really how locals like it. Just try to understand it. And the water is cold, at least in a global perspective!

    Other than that, the main local deception in my mind are the four major shopping malls in the vicinity of Asker: Slemmestad, Liertoppen, Holmen-Senteret and Trekanten. They promise paradise and deliver mediocrity. Very few genuine shopping gems in these centres, but on a rainy day in November I can tolerate going to these places...

    Looking for tourist traps??? You must be mad. Try Oslo.
