Lillesand
A white-painted town on the south coast about 25 km east, where harbour-side wooden houses, quayside restaurants and island boat trips create a summery holiday feel.
Lillesand is a classic 'white town' on Norway's south coast. Around the harbour stand white wooden houses and merchants' villas from the 19th-century sailing era, and in summer the quays are packed with yachts. You can eat seafood at harbour restaurants, browse small shops, or take a boat to nearby islands. It is about a 25-minute drive from Kristiansand, and there are also long-distance buses. It can be combined with a visit to Grimstad on the same day.
