No matter if you are a sportsman, nature lover or culture enthusiasts, Kristiansand offers possibilities for everybody. Of course, children are not missed out as this region in the south of Norway is a preferred holiday region for families with children.

Kristiansand offers a typically Norwegian ambience

Scandinavia lovers get their money’s worth in Kristiansand. Besides the impressive nature at the coast and in the interior regions as well the university city impresses the visitors with its many museums among them the “Sørlandets’ art museum” where a lot of works of Scandinavian artists can be regarded. In the lively city there are a lot of little shops, comfy cafés and restaurants, which offer fish dishes in different variations.

The architecture is typically Norwegian as well, with a lot of colorful wooden houses that are real eye-catchers, especially when the sun shines. The fortress “Christiansholm” which was used as a shelter against hostile attacks in the 17th century and that is used as a cultural centre today, is worth-while visiting as well.
