"The wider area of Oslofjord is full of small towns, and picturesque-as-they-come Drøbak is a wonderful jaunt for the day. Just a 40-minute drive (or 90-minute scenic ferry ride) outside of Oslo, Drøbak is home to the dramatic Oscarsborg Fortress, great shellfish in cute old buildings, a summertime opera, and even a quirky year-round Christmas shop." - Alexandra Pereira
