Charming small town with friendly people and great bakeries. Two nights felt perfect, quiet evenings and easy walks along Main Street.
Parking tip: meters stop at 6pm on Main Street, free evenings. Most eateries close around 8, so make dinner reservations or go early.
Farm-to-table cafe by the square had the best pancakes, low-key place with friendly staff. Budget-friendly if you skip tourist shops.
Expected more historical sites, it felt sleepy and a bit overpriced for options. Worth a quick stop but not a full trip on its own.
Nice Old Norwegian vibe, the little museums are cute but tiny. Food was solid, restaurants close early so plan your dinners accordingly.
