Arendal

Take a mini break or a weekend break and visit the town of Arendal, which has about 40,000 inhabitants and is the second largest town in Sørlandet after Kristianstad. Here you'll find a delightful mix of archipelago, where there are plenty of outdoor opportunities, and then there's the bustling town with small streets filled with specialty shops and great food experiences, as well as a wide range of culture all year round.

Go sightseeing in the archipelago with ´Skilsferga´ to idyllic Merdø. Hire a canoe or kayak and explore the coast at your own pace, and remember to bring your swimsuit when you head to the beach. Risskov always has many cheap mini breaks and weekend breaks to choose from.
