Velkommen tilElvebyen DrammenWelcome to Drammen – the River CityDrammenselva var grunnlaget for at byenvokste fram. Drammen har stolte tradisjonersom sjøfarts- og havneby.Fra å være en vannvei som delte byen i to er elvai dag et hovedelement i byutviklingen. Langsbreddene på begge sider er det opparbeidetstrandpromenade, turstier og elvepark i hele 13kilometers lengde. Dette er drammensernes nyeutfartsområde, med den prisbelønte gangbruaYpsilon som det absolutte høydepunkt.Et nytt veisystem leder gjennomgangstrafikkenutenom bykjernen. Mange nye boligprosjekterer reist i sentrum og viktige byrom er oppgradert.Og resultatet...et sprudlende sentrum. Herfinner du bruktmarked, torgsalg, konserter og arrangementer,skøytebane om vinteren og alskensaktiviteter, en lang rekke ulike serveringssteder,kino og ikke minst Norges vakreste teater.Ved det sydlige bruhodet på gangbrua Ypsilonligger Papirbredden – Drammen kunnskapspark,med et av Norges mest moderne biblioteker.Vegg i vegg ligger kulturmagneten Union Scene,og vil du overnatte her, ligger et splitter nytthotell et steinkast unna.I Drammen har vi nærmest alt på ett sted. Hvisdu foretrekker stillheten, er det bare fem minuttersgange fra Bragernes torg til de nærmesteturstiene i Drammensmarka. Og om vinterenkan vi skilte med to alpinanlegg, kilometervismed godt preparerte skiløyper og stor kunstfrossenskøytebane.Ta en tur – vi vil gjerne gi deg en liten smakebitav hva Drammen har å by på!Som ordfører ønsker jeg deg hjertelig velkommentil Elvebyen Drammen.There would be no Drammen if it were notfor the Drammen river. The city has a long andproud tradition as a port and maritime centre.Where once the river was a waterway dividingthe town in two, it is now a key elementin Drammen’s urban development. Today, thepeople of Drammen can enjoy 13 km of promenades,footpaths and parks flanking the river onboth sides, as well as the award-winning Ypsilonfootbridge.A new by-pass leads through traffic away fromthe city centre. In recent years a lot of new housinghas been built in the downtown area, whileimportant urban spaces have been upgraded.And the result is a vibrant city centre. Hereyou will find market stalls selling everythingfrom second-hand goods to fresh farm produce,concerts and events, an open-air skating rinkthat is also the venue for a host of differentactivities in summer, a wide variety ofrestaurants, cafes and bars, a cinema complexand, not least, Norway’s most beautiful theatre.At the southern end of the Ypsilon footbridgelies Papirbredden, Drammen’s knowledge park,which boasts one of Norway’s most modernlibraries. Right next door is Union Scene, amagnet for cultural happenings. And if you wantto stay the night, a brand new hotel is just astone’s throw away.In Drammen we have practically everything allin one place. If you prefer the peace and quiet, afive-minute walk will take you from the bustlingmarket stalls of Bragernes Torg to the nearestfootpaths wending into the unspoilt forests ofDrammensmarka. And in winter we can boastno less than two alpine skiing centres, kilometresof well-prepared cross-country skiing trails and alarge open-air skating rink.Come pay us a visit and let us give you a taste ofwhat Drammen has to offer!As mayor, I would like to welcome you toDrammen, the River City.Tore Opdal Hansen, ordfører
