The port of Kristiansand is the second largest in Norway. This is not only due to the long sea-faring traditions in the town, but to the town’s strategic position to the rest of Europe. Different shipping lines are responsible for trade, transport and contact with the Norwegian coast and Europe as a whole.

If you are looking for a weekend with family or friends there are frequent sailings with Fjord Line and Color Line from Hirtshals in Denmark.

Kristiansand is well served by The Norwegian State Railways (NSB) and different bus/coach companies such as for example Nor-Way Bussekspress.

To the east and west, as well as to the north through the picturesque Setesdal Valley, Kristiansand gives priority to safety for cyclists. Kristiansand is a pioneer town for a network of separate paths for cyclists and walkers.
