We had a rental car for the day and were looking for things to do around Oslo. Unfortunately, there's not a lot. But the silver mine in Kongsberg sounded like it would be interesting, and it was close enough to be worth the drive. Note that there is a museum and silver mine tour that are in separate locations. This review is for the tour as we did not have time to visit the museum. There are normally three tours offered: 10:00, 12:00p, and 2:00p. We opted for the 10:00 tour. They actually suggested doing a different tour as the early morning tours are frequently filled with schoolchildren but that was the only time that worked with our schedule. While there were lots of schoolchidren, this actually worked to our advantage as we ended up with a private tour as the only two English speakers (normally there are separate Norwegian and English tours). You will need tickets, and you should buy them ahead of time as availability can be limited. The tour takes you into the mine in a small enclosed train car. It's about a 15 minute ride. If you don't like loud, small, dark places, this is not for you. It's not a smooth ride, but it wasn't too bad, and earplugs are provided to reduce noise. The mines are really impressive. They were active for more than 300 years and produced an enormous quantity of silver. It was interesting to learn about mine operations prior to the invention of dynamite. We also learned about German influence on the area and history of the mines in World War II. The mines are enormous. You will only get to see a small portion of them, but it's plenty to see. In addition to the mines themselves you do get to see some equipment that operated drills and pumps. You will also be able to see a working elevator that dates to the 19th century. They warn you that it's cold in the mine. This is accurate. It was only a few degrees above freezing. Bring a warm jacket and dress appropriately even if it's warm outside. I found that I was fine without gloves. If you have even a slight interest in mining or history, Sølvgruvene is a great place to visit. I highly recommend it. The mine is neat to see, our tour guide was awesome, and it was a highly unique experience.

A beautiful green oasis in the middle of the city center. The garden is open for everyone, and has a strong photo exhibit of the local war history. The building was in fact a prison until 1996, today it is owned and operated by Kulturstiftelsen Fengselet. You can actually visit both the courtroom and the cells inside. The restaurant Brasserie Fengselet serves delicious lunch and dinner, and you can choose to sit inside or outside.
