Kristiansand Ferry Port – The area is the cultural region of the twin counties of Aust and Vest Agder. Welcome to a unique holiday experience. The key words for the region are summer, sun and happy holidays. Young or old everyone simply has happy memories from a holiday in Southern Norway, and what is more visitors always come back. The rock festival, Quartfestivalen is arranged annually in July– and here come the “hottest” artists from both home and abroad. Kristiansand – The Floral Town of Norway. More than 20,000 summer flowers create magnificent displays in every imaginable form to greet visitors and residents alike in the centre of Kristiansand in summer. The “Children’s Own Flower Beds” in the Wergeland Park are the work of nursery school children, who cultivate the plants for the beds at their schools and in June, dressed in colourful, floral costumes 450 young children set out the flowers in the park. Here stands the bronze statue of Henrik Wergeland by Gustav Vigeland, dating from 1908.
