Set in Vestfold on Norway's southern coast, Tønsberg holds the distinction of being the country's oldest town, founded by Viking settlers over a thousand years ago and still tracing its harbor-side streets today. Its roughly 38,000 residents share the town with fortress ruins, cobbled lanes, and a lively waterfront where you can settle in at one of the restaurants, sip coffee at a local cafe, or dig into the past among its small museums. For those staying longer, cozy bed & breakfast options make it easy to slow down and take the town in at its own pace.
