Kristiansand Ferry Port

Possibly the most famous Norwegian city other than the capital of Oslo, Kristiansand is known as the capital of Southern Norway and is the primary port in Scandinavia. Thriving on its ferry connections, Kristiansand Port is a bright, energetic place that is the closest thing Norway has to a seaside resort. In the winter, there is usually heavy snowfall, although it rarely settles for very long at the coast so the ferry routes remain relatively unaffected.

The city itself is famed for its friendly welcoming atmosphere and quaint buildings, but it’s the ease of which visitors can get around that makes Kristiansand such a desirable tourist destination. It is more than possible to see all the major attractions, hit the shops and grab a bite to eat all in one day. Rich on culture and tradition, the most popular tourist spots are around the historic town centre, which is home to the fish market and impressive flower displays. To experience the natural beauty in the more rural areas, there is a bus service heading out of the main town to areas showcasing the picturesque landscapes.

With frequent links to Denmark, the port is known as the gateway to Denmark with ferry routes to Hirtshals on the northern coast. There are weekly sailings making the three hour crossing and are supplied by either Fjordline or Color Line.
