Moss is located on the eastern shore of the Oslofjord in Østfold county and is a historic industrial city with a modern outlook. The city is best known in Norway for the Convention of Moss, which ended the war with Sweden in 1814 and laid the groundwork for Norwegian independence. For decades, Moss was a major hub for the paper and glass industries, an influence that still defines the architecture of its harbor district. In recent years, Moss has evolved into a vital transportation link, notably through the heavily used ferry connection to Horten on the fjord's western side. The city features a rich cultural scene, featuring galleries like Galleri F 15 on the scenic Jeløy island, which is renowned for contemporary art. Moss is also surrounded by beautiful natural landscapes, encompassing both fjord-side beaches and dense inland forests. Its proximity to Oslo makes Moss a popular residence for commuters, while the city maintains its distinct character as a regional commercial center.
The most pleasant time to visit is Jun–Aug.
