Even though most tourists come here to enjoy summer and sunshine, there is, in fact, flourishing cultural life the whole year round. You can enjoy a number of festivals, - especially the International Church Festival, operas, art exhibitions, concerts and theatre performances. Go fishing or feel the wind in your hair while experiencing a storm at the Lindesnes lighthouse.

 

The southern part of Norway is a great place to be – all year round.

Festivals and annual events are an important part of what Kristiansand and Southern Norway have to offer. And in fact, there’s something happening year round. An ever growing number of visitors are actively looking for special experiences when choosing a holiday destination.

The ferry connection from Høllen in Søgne to the Island of Ny-Hellesund is running year round. Explore the island - but let the captain know, so he can pick you up on a later sailing. You really shouldn’t leave southern Norway before you’ve been for a tour on the ocean and have had the chance to see the idyllic harbours, islands and wildlife.
