Frommer's Review

This modern sports arena hosted events during the 1994 Winter Olympics. While that seems like a long time ago, folks around here will be talking about it for years to come. The arena is built in the shape of a Viking ship, lying within walking distance of the town center. Today it is the site of numerous sports events, performances, and exhibitions, and can hold some 10,000 spectators. It's been called a "sports cathedral without equal." Visits are possible when events aren't being staged.

About Our System

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.
