Magnificent Kristiansand Walking Tour

Upon arrival of your cruise, our Shore2Shore guide will be waiting for you at the port, identified with a sign, to begin this unique experience.

Kristiansand, known as the capital of the South, was founded in 1641 by King Christian IV and has more than 375 years of fascinating history. During this guided tour, you will discover how this city, partially destroyed in the bombings of 1940, rose again with a charming blend of modern and traditional architecture.

We will start at the pier, with a first stop at the fish market, where you can get to know the freshest local specialties. From there, we will tour the city center, passing by the cathedral and the local market.

We will visit Posebyen, the oldest part of Kristiansand, famous for its right-angle design and for housing one of the largest clusters of low wooden houses in Northern Europe. Our guide will explain the history of the great fire that devastated the city and how the locals rebuilt this area with small boutiques, charming cafés, and a unique character that can be felt in every corner.

This tour will allow you to immerse yourself in the history, culture, and lifestyle of this vibrant city in southern Norway.

At the end of the excursion, we will return to the port for the farewell.

Thank you for joining us on this unforgettable experience!
