General presentation
Kristiansand et Sørlandet
White harbours, islands and beaches give the southern coast a summer atmosphere different from the great fjords.
To understand what Kristiansand and Sørlandet are, you have to look at Dyreparken, Kilden and Lighthouse Lindesnes. These places give us a view of a territory marked by urban life, the coastline, island landscapes and heritage and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 7 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: variable influx depending on the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. The main sites are generally easy to access.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.

Nature and landscape
Dyreparken
Dyreparken combines zoological park, attractions and universe inspired by the stories of Captain Sabertooth in a vast wooded estate especially designed for families.

Place indismissible
Kilden
Kilden theatrical, opera and orchestra behind a corrugated oak facade facing the port of Kristiansand, became an architectural landmark of the new seafront.

Lighthouse
Phare de Lindesnes
Lindesnes Lighthouse keeps the southernmost tip of mainland Norway, and its museum dug into the rock explains the navigation on an exposed coast where two seas meet.
