Kristiansand - Metropolis of the South

If you are looking for a bustling city where people sit in cafes and stroll through the streets and shops, a city that exudes a southern flair, then Kristiansand is the place to be. Many travelers only use it as a transit city, as the ferry arrives here. Just like I did back then, I got lost in the city for a while until I finally found a parking garage. I strolled through the streets with the Norwegians, past the beautiful cathedral, down to the harbor and back. I would have liked to treat myself to an ice cream, which the city is also known for (keyword Hennig Olsen), but my toothache wouldn't allow it.

The city center is arranged in a special way: like a chessboard. When the city was built, this was intended to prevent the fire from spreading, as wooden houses are prone to catching fire. The street layout is still preserved in the Kvadraturen district.
