Remarkable zoo, very unlike American zoos…read more Would absolutely go here if your cruise stops in Kristiansand. Just take a cab or even the train. Do NOT take the Hop on hop off bus. Get there early in the day and spend a lot of time there.

The food servings inside the park are the usual fast food suspects with no eatable quality to it. Make sure you catch the feeding of the lions and tigers...

We loved this hotel and wished we could have spent more time here. The entire facility is new and…read moreclean. It's quite open and light. It seems like a lot of business travelers may stay here, but we were so happy we found this place. Staff is friendly. Rooms and bathrooms are spacious and clean. The lobby is beautiful. Looks like a nice place to grab a drink. It connects to a large fitness center. Some rooms and the lobby face the water-- great views. Would highly recommend!

This is one of the best Segway tours I have ever done. It is a great way to see the town in such a…read moreunique fun way. Not only do we get fun zooming around Kristiansand on Segways seeing great views with great photo ops (fortress, sea views, city beach, old town, town square, cathedral, fish market and pedestrian shopping street) but you also we get to learn more about Kristiansand with its fascinating stories. If you have never driven a Segway before it is easy to learn, safe and very fun. You first get a 15 min introduction and training before setting of on tour. I guarantee once you have done this you will be hooked. We in fact got one of the cruise entertainment staff to join us who was nervous in doing the Segway but after he had done the 1 hour and 30 minutes tour with us he was hooked and can't wait to book another. https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowUserReviews-g190492-d5772958-r499908581-Segway_Tours-Kristiansand_Vest_Agder_Southern_Norway.html#

Such a crazy little airport with only a few 'gates' and one shop/bar/cafe…read more The place was packed with the afterwork crowd going back to Oslo. There were three Oslo planes in quick succession, which meant that all of the seats were gone by the time I was through the remarkably zealous security system. I ended up leaning against a wall for the best part of two hours as the planes were all delayed. Good job for the free wifi! One point for travellers is to know about the airport bus instead of taking a very expensive taxi. There is a fairly regular bus service to the town centre bus station for 130NOK return ticket. Takes the same time as a taxi but will save you a ton in comparison.
