While cities like Fredrikstad, Ålesund, and Tønsberg offer good, accessible facilities, Oslo and Trondheim face criticism for limited central options and winter closures. The overall assessment is that most major cities have not adequately catered to this growing visitor segment, with high land prices near city centers being a key obstacle.
