Introducing Arendal
Arendal’s main appeal lies in its undeniable buzz throughout summer around the harbour (known as Pollen), with outdoor restaurants and bars next to the water and a fairly full calendar of festivals. Large enough to have an array of amenities but not too big to overwhelm, it’s a nice place to spend a few days. The old district of Tyholmen, which features many timbered houses, adds considerable charm, while those seeking greater communion with the sea than a harbour-side café can offer will find the offshore islands of Merdø, Tromøy and Hisøy to be worthwhile excursions.
