The good life

“Yes, please, to both,” some people say. In Indre Østfold, you can enjoy urban experiences, but wilderness experiences are not far away either. In addition, you can easily combine a few quiet days in Indre Østfold with the hectic, pulsating life of Oslo, as the distance between them is short.

Big and small experiences

In Indre Østfold, the pace of life is slower than in the capital, and in the towns of Askim and Mysen you can enjoy a complete range of shopping opportunities, nightlife and activities for the busy urbanite. Here you will find a complete town center with small, cozy shops and a shopping mall side by side.

Throughout the year, small and large events are held in the city center, such as markets, summer days, holidays, and more. How about enjoying the pleasures of café life? Or enjoying a fine dinner at a restaurant?

Combine it with a trip to the cinema or a cultural event. Askim Kulturhus is the cultural hub of the entire Indre Østfold region and offers memorable experiences and a varied repertoire of high quality. Music, theater, comedy, and lectures that should suit most tastes. And for those interested in art, we recommend a visit to one of the region's galleries.
