About kristiansand.info
kristiansand.info is a travel guide to Kristiansand on Norway's south coast. It is written for English-speaking travellers who arrive by ferry from Hirtshals or by air, are planning a city break or want to spend a few days by the sea.
The guide focuses on what you can reach on foot once you arrive at the terminal on Havnegata, and where you need a bus or a car. Posebyen, Kristiansand Cathedral, Fiskebrygga and Kunstsilo are all in the centre, Dyreparken, Kristiansand's zoo and amusement park, lies about 12 km east on the E18, and the Kristiansand Cannon Museum is in Møvik. The overviews of beaches, the area around Kristiansand and accommodation help you plan your stay around your journey.
