Kristiansand is Norway’s fifth largest city with a population of 77,600. Founded in 1641 by King Kristian IV, the town was designed in the Renaissance style. More than 350 years later it has blossomed into a lively town with restaurants, canals, and a thriving cultural environment. Being the trade and communications centre for south of Norway, it has excellent train, ferry and airplane national and international connections.
