Here you will find the ruins of the medieval Cathedral and the bishop's residence from the 13th Century on the beautiful Museum grounds on the outskirts of Hamar. The museum is comprised of archaeological Exhibitions, a botanical garden and an outdoor museum with about 60 buildings from around Hedemarken County. The Cathedral ruins are protected by a much-discussed protective structure in glass and steel, called the Hamar Dome, which is an attraction in itself. Open every day in summer season. Groups all year when booked in forehand.

Those who frequent railway museum around the world will find this one on the small side. It is very nicely arranged, with a central modern building on one side of the street and scattered sheds, old station buildings and a restaurant car along a short narrow rail in a very nice park setting along lake Mjøsa. The displays are well kept and clean with nice explanations, although if you speak only English you may loose some details in the translation.
There is a small train with a cute steam loco running from one end of the museum to the other,

I'm often at Koigen in the summer hanging out with friends.
Koigen has everything;
a beach with an artificial islet, skate constructions, barbecue areas, a playground for kids, benches and tables a basket ball court and three sand volleyball courts! It's the perfect place to enjoy your day off in the summer. Koigen is also 150 meter from Hamar centrum, it's easy to access and there are lots of parking spots as well.
If you're going to Hamar, Koigen is the best place to relax and sunbath!

6. Hamar Olympiske Anlegg
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 22 reviews
The Viking Ship is a modern multi-purpose hall with an interesting architecture. The form is based on the shape of the Viking ships, a functional and beautiful shape that is as appealing today as it was a thousand years ago. It was built for the Winter Olympics in 1994, and the Viking Ship is Norway's national arena for skating.
