Holmestrand

Holmestrand is a city in Vestfold, Norway. Holmestrand in Norwegian literally means small island by the beach. Holmestrand is a nice town with a charming harbour. It's nice to stroll along the harbour or if you prefer woods and hills, it's possible to go for long walks through the countryside. In the winter, good skiing is available.

Get in

Holmestrand is southwest of Oslo, approximately 1 hour away. You can arrive via bus which is comfortable and cheap. The train is slower and is under construction until 2015 so you may have to take a train and then switch to a bus if you take the train.

If you arrive via car you can take E18 Hwy and exit on 313 which is the old main Rd.
