Namsos is a coastal town in west central Norway that is full of endless sightseeing opportunities for travellers. No matter what you are interested in, whether it is exploring the outdoors or discovering local history at one of the town's museums, you will be able to find it here. Not to mention the stunning natural scenery that Norway has an abundance of. The best way to experience all that the town and area has to offer is by hiring a car in Namsos and taking to the open road. This will give you convenient access all around the town and surrounding areas.
One of the first things you should do is hire a car in Namsos so you can then drive up to the top of Mount Klompen. The top of Mount Klompen offers a spectacularly scenic view of the town below and at the bottom of the mountain you'll also find Frederiksberg Park, which is a bunker and park complex from the Second World War. If you want to learn a bit about the local history of the town and its association with sailing boats then the Namdalsmuseum is a great idea. Oasen is another unique visit because it's a swimming hall that has been built into a mountain, ideal for use all year long.
