Where to stay in Fjell
How the choice of base plays out on the ground.
Base yourself here for quiet ground. Fjell is a calm residential corner of Drammen, away from the busier river districts but close enough that Strømsø and the city centre across in Bragernes are an easy run downhill. If you want a settled hillside base with Fjell kirke as your landmark, this part of Drammen kommune suits a longer, slower stay.

About Fjell
What are the main landmarks in Fjell?
Fjell kirke is the landmark to find. The church marks the heart of this hillside district, a short way above the city's older quarters. From the slope the river districts of Strømsø and Bragernes lie below, and neighbouring Austad lies close by in Drammen kommune.
Arena Fjell on Laurits Grønlandsvei houses the district library beside Fjell skole.
What is the history of Fjell?
Fjell grew as Drammen spread uphill. Once farmland on the slopes above the valley floor, the district filled in as housing climbed away from the riverside cores of Strømsø and Bragernes. Its parish church, Fjell kirke, anchors the quarter and gives the neighbourhood its centre within Drammen kommune.
