Hotels near Røros Airport - RRS, Røros

We went to the main museum which was housed in the former smelting works. It was very informative and the audio guide was helpful, talking you through in considerable detail the various mining processes. At the time we visited (mid June) there was only one guided tour each day at the mine which is 13 km from Roros and this did not fit with our schedule. Apart from this main museum there was not a lot else to see once you have walked up and down the two main historic streets. We were irritated to have to pay to go into the church . I never like this.

This is one of the few, and an exceptionally lovely example, of an historic town of wooden houses that I have ever seen. Walks in the town are a treat for the eyes, and there are several hotels, restaurants and other businesses in historic buildings as well. I don't recall identifying a single modern building among the several historic area blocks that I explored, There is an unobtrusive, small, modern mall nearby. The region also has lovely, wide valleys and high, rounded hilltops. It's all a delight.

The town was bustling in the evening with lots of folks out and about, dining and shopping. We were looking for authentic Norwegian food that we did not find. There were a few musicians playing in the evening which was nice. We also thought the food was pricy compared with other cities in Norway.

Beautiful and historical UNESCO world heritage city. Definitely must to visit place. Food and accommodation is more expensive than in Oslo. You should well plan your visit. I recommend you to take walking tour with guide from the Museum

The town definitely deserves the UNESCO status that it has the buildings date back from the 16th century and with the history of the copper mines makes it all more interesting. The wooden buildings are exceptional and the insight of how the miners used to live. It gives you food for thought
