Introducing Risør
Risør, the ‘White Town on the Skagerrak’, is one of southern Norway’s prettiest. Centred on a U-shaped harbour with colourful fishing boats and private yachts, and surrounded by historic white houses (dating from 1650 to 1890), this is a great place to wander and soak up the rustic charm for a few days. If you get bored by long, lazy days by the water, you probably shouldn’t be here.
