Introducing Grimstad
Unusually for a town along the coast, Grimstad is at its most beautiful in the pedestrianised streets that lie inland from the waterfront; these streets are some of the loveliest on the Skagerrak coast. Grimstad has a number of interesting calling cards: it was the home of playwright Henrik Ibsen and has a good museum; it is the sunniest spot in Norway, with an average of 266 hours of sunshine per month in June and July; and Grimstad also has an unmistakably young vibe, thanks to its large student population.
