Kristiansand S Vacation Packages
Named by its founder, King Christian IV, Kristiansand is also known as Kristiansand S, to indicate its Southern position (on the Sortlandet) - in contrast to Kristiansund N. The largest ferry port in Norway, it can also be reached by plane via the Kjevik airport, by car or by train. An interesting area within the city is Kvadraturen (the quadrant), built in Renaissance style, as a square gridline of streets; if you're looking for a relaxing walk, Markens is the town's pedestrian zone. Visitors will find pleasant summers here, while the winters rarely bring much snow along the coast. Highlights include the Dyrepark (Zoo and Amusement Park), the music event Quart Festival (in July) and the Agder Theatre.
