Aas (or Ås in Norwegian) is a town in the Akershus county of southern Norway, about 2 miles south of Oslo and a bit further west of the Swedish border. The town particularly relies on the agriculture industry which provides the region with grain, vegetables, and a variety of dairy products. Its proximity to the major Norwegian city of Oslo means that anyone hiring a car in Aas can benefit from the two major European roads - E6 and E18 - which pass through town. It's also a thriving community for those who commute to Oslo each day.
Rent a car in Aas and head towards Oslo where you can view a scaled-down version of Leonardo Da Vinci's "Golden Horn" Bridge. This footbridge is a stainless steel version of the artist's original plan which was brought to life in 2001 by contemporary artist Vebjorn Sand. Spend a day at Norway's only theme park based around the fascinating history of the Viking age, VikingLandet. Only a 20-minute drive from the centre of town, here you can experience boat building, meet the mighty warriors, and watch craftsmen demonstrating trades like blacksmithing.
