In front of Tregarden Julehus is a triangular traffic sign. It looks like the universal symbol to yield - white with a red border - but this sign has the silhouette of a somewhat rotund gent packing a rather large bag.
Tregarden Julehus translates to “wooden Christmas house”, and the yield sign is a courtesy to the Nisse, Norway’s Santa Claus. Tregarden Julehus was opened in 1976 by Willy and Eva Johansen. The gregarious Eva, a Liv Ullman look-alike with red hair piled atop her head, is often on hand to greet her customers.

The world’s only lutefisk (dried cod tenderized in lye) museum. Here, you can enjoy a unique museum in praise of the lutefisk.
Aquavit is also given a fair bit of attention, and you can smell the various spices.

The Oscarsborg fortress was built in 1845 and sits on a small island in the fjord. When the fortress came under attack from the Germans on April 9th, 1940 during World War II, its armaments, even though over 40 years old and of German origin, worked flawlessly. The well-maintained artillery saved the Norwegian King and government from being taken prisoner.
Up until 1993, the underground torpedo battery remained secretly active, having been continuously modernised, and formed a last line of defence for the capital city. Visitors can take a short motorlaunch trip from Drøbak.

If you send a letter to Santa Claus, whether you think he lives in Norway or on the North Pole, it will very likely come to Drøbak. You can send Christmas cards with the official Santa stamp from Santa’s post office! According to Norse tradition, the Julenisse - meaning the Yuletide elf - calls Drøbak his adopted home.

I allow myself to call it the best restaurant in Drøbak, even when I haven't visited anyone else :)
The service is excellent, the food is great, the restaurant is located near the harbour with a great view. The whole atmosphere is nice and cosy

Favorite thing: Norway is one of the largest petrol producing nations on earth, one would assume that petrol is relativley cheap. Think again - a litre of petrol set you back over US$ 3 or EUR 2.60 - take this in to consideration when planning a road trip, since fuel is almost double to other countries on earth!
