Introducing Kristiansand

Kristiansand, Norway’s fifth-largest city, calls itself ‘Norway’s No.1 Holiday Resort’. That can be a bit misleading: sun-starved Norwegians do flock here in the summer, but for everyone else it serves more as a gateway to the charming seaside villages of Norway’s southern coast and the inland region of Setesdalen. The claim also reflects a newfound confidence that has seen the city clean up its environmental act (it was until a decade ago infamous for its pollution). Kristiansand does have an interesting small harbour, an attractive old town, some good museums and an outstanding children’s park.
