In the center of town, the Rådhus, or Town Hall, is better known as the second-largest timber building in Norway and the country's single tallest timber structure. It was originally built in 1815 by a rich shipowner but became the town hall in 1844. Regrettably, the city fathers of the late 1800s made some unfortunate decisions, such as flattening the dramatic domed ceiling. The elegant original staircase remains, and the hall also contains about 300 antique portraits, many from the 19th century -- and some of them quite amusing. If you're Norwegian, look for some of your ancestors.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
