Kristiansand grew up around a 17th-century fortress and a strict grid of streets laid out by King Christian IV, and that orderly Old Town still anchors the harbour today. Wander past its white timber houses and you will find a food scene that punches well above the city's modest size, with restaurants and cafes lining the waterfront. Stay in one of the hotels and set aside time for the region's quirky curiosities along the way.
