Arts & Culture
Edvard Grieg's house, accessible by light rail + a short walk.
Actually we have never been inside the museum itself, but if you go there while the museum is closed, you can enjoy the stunning view over the fjord in the surrounding garden.
If the weather is clear, it's a breathtaking spot. Frpm time to time there are also piano recitals (mostly Grieg, of course).
