Very nice atmosphere in the former Hanseatic city. The harbor invites you to take a short stroll (and maybe more?).

One of the world's most significant discoveries from the Viking Age was made in 1904 just outside Tønsberg; namely the discovery of the now-famous Oseberg ship. The ship is 21.5 meters long. Oseberg Vikingarv Tønsberg has built an archaeological replica of this ship. During construction, only tools and building methods identical to those used in the construction of the original ship in the Viking Age were employed. You can visit the copy of the Oseberg ship at Vikingodden in the harbour of Tønsberg. The original ship is exhibited at the Viking Ship Museum on Bygdøy in Oslo. The Klåstad ship Oseberg Viking Heritage, Tønsberg has built a replica of another famous Viking find: the Klåstad ship. Here too, original methods and tools were used during construction. This original ship is also located at the Slottsfjellsmuseet in Tønsberg. In 2021, the construction of an archaeological replica of the Gokstad ship also began. The construction will take place both at Vikingodden in Tønsberg and at the Whaling Monument in Sandefjord. Here you will have the opportunity to follow the construction.

Tollboden is Tønsberg's oldest brick building and was built in 1827. The Tønsberg Sailors' Association took over Tollboden on July 1, 2005. The Tønsberg Maritime History Center was established here and was officially inaugurated on May 22, 2007. Tønsberg Maritime History Center provides an overview of Tønsberg's seafaring and whaling history. Source: www.tonsbergsjo.no/
