 gubbi1 Says:  The town area inside Maihaugen is a resembling of houses that make up a street in a small city. There are shops, a pharmacy and a bakery. The latter is open and inside is a cafe where you get ice cream, coffea and waffles. The post museum and the trainstation are also... 

 gubbi1 Says:  A very strange place for a historical open air museum is the modern quarter of Maihaugen. Here houses are set up which were taken from an area in the region where an airport was built. Instead of tearing them down, they were moved to Maihaugen. These houses are from 50 years... 

 gubbi1 Says:  Visiting Maihaugen you will have a great time to walk through the rural exhibition of old farm houses. They are grouped as small hamlets which are devided by fields, forest and lakes. Especially if the weather is nice you can spend a whole day here walking from house to...

 gubbi1 Says:  A splendid museum in Lillehammer is the Norwegian Road Museum. It is run by the Norwegian Road Administration and free of charge. The museum is excellent as it is pretty huge and covers many aspects around the history, construction and maintenance of Norwegian roads. In a... 

 gubbi1 Says:  Lillehammer is home to some very nice museums. One of them is the Fjellsprengningsmuseum (or Rock Blasting Museum in English). During my visit the tunnel was closed and only the outer part was accessible, but as the museum is just opposite the Norwegian Road Museum, it is... 

 Saagar Says:  Unintentionally, pike has been released in a trout river called Mesnaelva that runs above Lillehammer. Every year there is therefore a competition with prizes for the person who catches the biggest and most pike through the year. The biggest pike (that presumably has... 

 Saagar Says:  This is a roadside motel, cafe and restaurnat that caters both for road transit travellers and a local clientele. it is telling for quality and prices that local associations and clubs frequently hold their meetings here (not in summer - everybody is gone fishing or so).The... 

 SanguiniA Says:  We were there in the late afternoon and this was just about the only open pub. Very dark inside, but candlelit so it is nice. Obviously not aimed at tourists, it was an insight into typical pubs in small towns in Norway. Ha ha dress code?? They wouldn't give a damn what you... 

 Saagar Says:  A bit of an upmarket sports wear store, mostly for men. You will find hunting , fishing and hiking wear, and also some sports goods. They do have some very good selections of outerwear and shirts etc. A good place to get gifts for a wilderness man, or the odd souvenir... 

 Saagar Says:  Hafjell skiing area offers good mountain biking during summers. There are touring tracks, downhill and freeride tracks in all grades of difficulty. A bike lift takes you and your bike from the base of the ski area to the top and deposits you to choose whether you will bike... 

 writeheidi Says:  Lillehammer is a beautiful city, but I think many tourists find it a little anti climatic. If looking for a great way to end a tour of the city, olympic parks, and mailhaugen, go for a drive an hour and a half north, and jump on Norway's most popular whitewater river- the...
