Founded by the Vikings, Tønsberg, the oldest city in Norway, was originally a trading post. Now, it is one of the most iconic cities in the country, about 92 km (57.17 mi) outside of Oslo. The city is well-known for fishing and whaling, as it was previously the pioneer of whaling in the 1800s. Today, you can enjoy outdoor activities such as biking and hiking. Beyond nature, the town also boasts the Vestfold Kunstsenter art center, a maritime museum, and Brygga i Tønsberg to explore.
