Try out Betongparken skateboard Park
Terje1966 Says: In Drammen underneath Norways longest bridge the Drammensbrua (E18) lies Betongparken. That is a new skateboard park built in concrete. The park is clean and it has a lot of benches where you can sit and watch or simply take a break.
Cristian_Uluru Says: Bragernes Church was erected in a new gothic style. It was consecrated on 12 July 1871. It has got a very nice altarpiece with the Resurrection painted by Adolph Tidemand.
Cristian_Uluru Says: Spiraltoppen is the name of the area at the top of the Spiralen. It offeres a marvellous view of the city, the river, the fjord and the mountainous areas of Kongsberg and Numedal. You can also find a Cocherill cannon from 1904.
Cristian_Uluru Says: Spiralen is a mountain tunnel in Bragernesåsen, opened in 1961 when Drammen celebrated its 150th anniversary. With six spirals, the tunnel goes through rocks ending at Breidablikk. The tunnel is 1650 metres long, 9 metres wide and originally had a height of 3.1 metres but it...

purpleivan Says: This is one of the older bars in Drammen and one of the most interesting.Until a year or so ago, it was a venue for blues bands twice a week, but since then has changed in it musical tastes to rock (especially the jukebox).It's customers vary from it's older regulars to...
Henriks: All roads lead to Rome
purpleivan Says: The pub is probably the one which will have been visited by most people at some time.On a weekend and wednesday nights ("little weekend") this place is usually packed from about 11pm onwards and stays that way until it closes at 3:00am.It's one of the few places in Drammen...
good-old Says: And this, not many of the locals are very happy about all the bridges either. I hope that Mette Marit forgive me this intro, but she promised me a sight seeing soon.
Norwegianno Says: As I was going to land in Oslo, comming back from my South-Africa trip I flew over drammen - you can barely see the city - or rather town ( there are between 55-60 000 people living here) - you can see one of the busiest ports in norway if you take a closer look
Here is a brief guide to eating after a night out at Drammen's bars.
1. If you are in the mood for a kebab or burger, then head to Drammen's finest "Sydney", this is to be found at the end of Nedre Storgate, opposite the bar Greven.
2. If baked potatoes are your thing (or you simply can't face walking too far from the main square) then the baked potatoe stand in the Bragernes Torg will come to the rescue (although you may have to que for some time, but worth the wait).
However, this is only there (at the corner of the torg and Nedre Storgate) on Friday and Saturday nights.
3. If all else fails... there's always the hotdogs from the gas station (my usual station to visit in such circumstances was Statol on the Stromso side of the river, near the railway station).
What to buy: 1. Sydney - my recomendation is for a kebab Midag (meal) with chilli peppers (Yum!).
2. Baked potato stand - order one with everything, this will include ham, garlic butter and sweetcorn.
3. Hotdog from the gas station - they're all good, especially at 3:00am.
What to pay: 1. Kebab Midag - 65Nok (a kebab on it's own is about 40Nok).
2. Baked potatoes with everything is 50Nok
3. Gas station hotdogs start at about 18Nok and go upto about 35... look out for special "meal deals" that include drinks and fries.

Address: Various locations in Drammen
Bjorgvin Says: Aass Brewery, established in 1834, is the oldest brewery in Norway today. It is located in the city of Drammen, at the banks of the Drammen. Poul Lauritz Aass bought the brewery in 1860 and since then it has been in the same family.
Bjorgvin Says: Drammen is the original home of aquavit. This alcoholic beverage made of potatoes was first made in Drammen in 1804 in response to a royal decree that forbade the use of corn for this purpose. Every year in Drammen there is a National Aquavit competition in late autumn.

If you keep on walking up in the woods from the Spiral the only thing that can happen to you,is that you might fall in love with the nature here,and do not want to go home again!!
It is just fantastic!!!
I did ,that is why I am still living here.
I moved to Drammen when I was quite grown up, with two daughters (7 and 10)

This is the entrance to the city, and maybe this is one of the reasons Drammen has got negative critics.

purpleivan Says: Instead of taking the spiral road tunnel up to the top of Spirallen, try taking a walk up to the top along the path "Zigzaggen", which winds it's way upto the top giving fine views on the way.An added attraction of taking this route is ?spaviljongen or "the pitstop", which...

Spiraltoppen is also a perfect starting point for several footpaths/ski slopes and a 2 km nature trail in the forest give you a great experience!!! Carry with you water if the weather is hot!!!

Bjorgvin Says: Visit Kunstnerdalen (The Valley of Artists). About 40 km from Drammen (Oslo c. 110km) are Sigdal, Eggedal and Krødsherad and places such as Norefjell, Åmot, Modum and Vikersund. This is a forested land of scenic beauty, of gently rolling mountains and sparkling clear lakes....
