The crown of Vest-Agder
Kristiansand is famed as the most significant city in the Vest-Agder region from an economic, political and cultural vantage point. This is the fifth largest city in Norway and is bustling with a diverse and progressive population that contributed to the cities prosperity and overall economic growth.
The grandeur of Kristiansand Airport is also a testament to this cities progress in the last decade or so. Kristiansand has plenty of sights and sounds to offer to incoming tourists including –
- Oddernes Church – This is the most significant place of worship in the city and was initially made of stone which was later replaced by breathtaking renaissance styled marble architecture. The church still retains its popular wooden tower that has beautiful carvings dating back to the renaissance era. This church is located on the outskirts of the Kristiansand city and you would need a car hire to visit the same.
- Kristiansand Amusement Park and Zoo – The Kristiansand Amusement Park and Zoo is located around 12 km off the city center and can be easily reached with a car hire. Summer is the best time to visit Kristiansand Amusement Park and Zoo as the activity levels are at their highest once the winter snow has melted down. Kids love their time spent here and we would recommend buying the tickets from the tourism kiosk located at Kristiansand Airport itself.
- Quart Music Festival – This event attracts thousands of popular artists from all over the world and usually happens across five days in the month of July.
During this festival you can enjoy the creation of your favorite artists and it is advised to secure your hotel and car hire bookings ahead of time due to high rushes of tourists during the festival time. This festival was initially called Qvadradurmusivalen and was later known as Quart Music Festival.
