Agder

Norway's southernmost county, where white wooden towns and an archipelago coast are a beloved summer retreat for Norwegians.

Agder lies at the southern tip of Norway, formed by merging the former Aust-Agder and Vest-Agder counties, with Kristiansand as its administrative seat. The southern coast is known as Norway's "Sunshine Coast," dotted with white wooden towns such as Lillesand, Grimstad and Arendal, and Lindesnes Lighthouse stands at the southernmost point of mainland Norway. Kristiansand has a zoo and amusement park, while the inland Setesdal valley preserves traditional culture. Summer is the best time to visit. Kristiansand has an airport, and ferries connect to Denmark.
