Description
At the designated time, we'll meet up at the port of Kristiansand to embark on a journey through time to explore the history and prominent landmarks of this city in southern Norway.
Kristiansand got its name from the Danish King Christian IV. We'll delve into the 17th century to uncover this intriguing history. Since then, Kristiansand has played a pivotal role in the region's trade, which we'll witness by admiring the exterior of the city's fortress.
The fish market holds great significance in the heart of the historic center, captivating visitors with its colors and wooden structure.
We'll stroll along the marina, wander alongside the banks of the river Otra, and venture into the picturesque Posebyen district, which has one of the largest concentrations of old houses in Scandinavia and is among the few areas that survived a devastating fire in the 19th century.
Before concluding our tour after 2.5 hours of exploration, we can part ways in the center of Kristiansand or return together to our starting point, depending on your preference.
