Hotels in Østfold, Norway
Østfold lies along Norway's southeastern coast, with a temperate climate where summers average 60-70°F (15-21°C) and winters hover around 20-30°F (-6 to -1°C). The region is famous for its Viking history, like the 1,200-year-old Oseberg ship burial at Tønsberg, and the coastal fortress of Fredrikstad, a 17th-century star-shaped city. In summer, you can kayak through the Hvaler archipelago's 800 islands, while winter brings cross-country skiing trails at Østfold's longest track near Råde, and the Christmas market at Fredrikstad's old town offers handmade crafts and gløgg.
