Hermetikk museum (sardine canning)

the Blue promenade

- stroll around the car-free shopping streets,
visit the shops, bars, restaurants, and Valbergtarnet -
the old fire-watch tower.

ferry terminal - is a popular place to relax for adults and children, and the home of the
concert hall, which has free lunchtime concerts every day in July (have lunch there too)

fit, it might be possible to walk to
Pulpit Rock
