Bragdøya
A small island just outside the harbour, home to wild sheep, a coastal walking trail and a wooden boat conservation centre, reachable by small boat in summer.
Bragdøya is a seaside recreation area very close to the city. The island has free-roaming native Norwegian sheep, a coastal trail through heathland, and bays suitable for swimming and picnicking. The island's coastal culture centre restores traditional wooden boats. In summer, ferries run from the city and nearby piers, taking about 15–20 minutes one way, with limited departures. It suits visitors who want to escape the crowds and spend half a day on an island.
