Bragernes Square, Central pedestrian square in Drammen, Norway.
Bragernes Square is a large central pedestrian area in Drammen surrounded by shops, cafes, and the classical Town Hall building. The space offers views toward the Drammenselva river and the Ypsilon Bridge in the distance.
After the great fire of 1866 destroyed much of the city, this square emerged as Drammen's new civic center. The rebuilding effort shaped the development of the city as a modern port town.
The square hosts outdoor concerts, movie screenings, and seasonal markets that bring the community together throughout the year. These gatherings shape how local people use and experience the heart of the city.
The square is easily accessible by public transport and has seating areas, public facilities, and numerous restaurants around its perimeter. Visitors will find everything needed for a comfortable stay.
This is Norway's largest square and among Scandinavia's biggest, making it an ideal venue for large-scale events and gatherings. The size allows it to host many people at once comfortably.
