About Strømsgodset
Where to stay in Strømsgodset
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Base yourself west of the centre. Strømsgodset is a quieter residential side of Drammen, set back from the river but close enough that the Strømsø bank and the Bragernes core are a short trip east. If you want a calmer western base with Åssida next door and the Fjell hillside nearby, this part of Drammen kommune suits a settled stay.
