This thought-provoking and exciting cluster of sights is on a park-like penin-
sula just across the harbor from downtown. It provides a busy and rewarding

portant sights (listed in order of importance):
•
Norwegian Folk Museum,
an open-air park with traditional log build-
ings from all corners of the country.
