American Reacts to 10 GREAT Reasons to Visit Kristiansand, Norway

It is time once again to take a closer look at one of Norway’s cities that I have never heard of before. Today I am excited to react and learn about 10 reasons to visit Kristiansand, Norway. I believe Kristiansand is Norway’s 6th largest city by population so I believe it should have some amazing attractions to offer. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!

    Kristiansand is the best city in Norway to live in. I am born and raised here. Kristiansand zoo and amusement park is the largest zoo and amusement park in all of Scandinavia. We also have the largest beach and music festival probably in the world. We also have the most beautiful archipelago in Norway. And we also have the best ice cream in Norway. From Kristiansand it's also a short ferry ride to Denmark. 3 hours and 15 minutes with the large ferry and 2 hours and 15 minutes with the high speed catamaran. The red one in the video. We also have s cruise ferry to Eemshaven in the Netherlands. You would love it here.

    This is kinda spooky. I've watched a few of your reactions to Norway over the last days and thought it would be interesting to see you learn more about Kristiansand. I live up north with my family and we've been to Kristiansand 4 times the last 8 years, mostly for the kids (and us) to visit the zoo/theme park. The park includes a lot of characters and stories that are very dear to us so while I'm reluctant to compare to the Disney parks I kinda feel I have to. The actors and staff are also very professional and the Zoo even have their own TV show where you really get the impression they actually care for the animals (Dyrepasserne/The Zookeepers).

    I couldn't agree more. Kristiansand Zoo is a wonderful park which takes well care of the animals. I see why you would compare it to Disney. Today we have Cardamom Town/Kardemomme By and Huckybucky Forest/Hakkebakkeskogen, but we also used to have Skomakergata/Cobbler street for Christmas. That TV Show is old school, so they have modernized, which is perfectly fine. On hot summer days you can go swimming on Summer Island/Sommerøya, and also use the water slides. Kaptein Sabeltann is an institution. We went for the show many years ago, it was really entertaining.

    My city comes alive in the summer. The beaches and streets buzzes with locals and tourists. Boats from all over the world finds their harbour. Most Norwegians have cabins, many here on the coast where the temperature is the warmest in Norway reaching 30 degrees celsius considered extremly hot in Norway. The thousands of tiny islands is reachable by boats and kids roam freely around. The nights are light in june and water temperature can be as high as 27 celsius and water crystal clear. Students take over when universitie starts in late august. The mild climate at the coast due to the gulf stream from the caribean makes for nice autumn and winter temperature but skiing is only couple of hours driving into the montains where many also have cabins or rent hotel rooms. Nature have a big role in our lifestyle with sparesly populated lands and wast woods and montains free for everybody to explore. No private landowners can fence in nature. Allemannsretten is a right for anybody to enjoy all of nature everywhere in Norway

    Just a suggestion Tyler: you might want to spend a little more time looking at Norwegian words and names. Their association with many English words is pretty easy to spot. I don't speak ANY Norwegian but I'd be willing to be that "Fiskbrygge" can be translated as "Fish Bridge" (or possibly "Fish Brook" - like I said - I don't speak any Norwegian. I just look at the words and think about them.) Likewise, the word "kvadraturen". In many of the Germanic and Norse languages the English combination "qu" is written and/or pronounced as "kv". So, "Kvadraturen" could be translated (somewhat obscurely) into English as "quadrature" - the practice of breaking something up into squares or rectangles. Precisely what was done with the city planning. Also please note, this was NOT inititated by King Kristian IV in 1941. It was in 1641. [Edit: after going to Google Translate, I learned that "brygge" means pier, wharf, jetty. In other words, Fiskbrygge is the equivalent of what in many English-speaking countries would be called "Fisherman's wharf".]

The population has been going up and down, but last I heard we were at 80.000 inhabitants. It probably depends on what you count as a part of Kristiansand though. Kristiansand is also home to the biggest shopping mall in Scandinavia, maybe even the Nordics, Sørlandssenteret (South Land Mall)!

    03:55 This is a Pirate's Ship, the one you commented on as being a Pirate's Ship in the previous video about Tusenfryd was a Viking Ship. 06:11 That looks like one of the many cruise ships that you can take to Denmark, this particular one probably being the one that takes 4 hours instead of the normal 8 hours that the older ones take. You would normally take that to Denmark, have about 8 to 12 hours in land, then take the boat back the same day, if all you cared about was some very minor sightseeing and major shopping - otherwise known as the Harry Trip. 07:25 We have a very diverse selection of restaurants in Norway, one can find Mexican, Japanese, Chinese, Italian, Greek, Turkish, Libanese, American, Thai, Viatnemese, Maroccan, Indish, and a lot more. Most common ones I would say are the Chinese, American, and Japanese.

    @@countryball4276 Good choice. Overall, the cabin and camping trips with cars or boats are coming before Tusenfryd. Kristiansand is probably the most popular target for all categories above here in Norway, but there are a lot of attractions here. In recent years (Covid), many have started exploring Northern Norway. But we still love to travel outside of Norway and not only to syden. We travel all over the world. Asia has been very popular in the last two decades. Thailand is probably the new syden, but I'll believe south Europe, together with Turkey and Egypt (both as part of syden), is still target number one abroad. We have a minimum of three consecutive weeks of summer vacation in Norway. Tusenfryd is done on a weekend or a day. That said, even when Kristiansand is the primary goal, it's often a part of many targets. People stay mostly from a weekend up to a week only. Then we have two weeks left. Some do a mix of everything. We are traveling both abroad and in Norway on vacation. Especially the cabins need some care 🤭 Well, you know. The explanation was for the foreigners.

Compared to Oslo for exsample Kristiansand is colder in avrege in the summer but wamer in the winter. Just a little side note, since boats are in the blood of the people of the south you almost can`t call your self a true "sørlending" which is a term to descbribe the people who live in the south if you dont have a boat.

    Kristiansand is jumping around a bit on the population ranking. I think there are a couple of cities that are fairly close in population. The name is Kristiansand comes from Kristian (the danish king Christian IV who established the city back when) and Sand (because it was all sand... There is still a lot of sand under the city center.). Edit: Addition I guess the Christian part was covered. It didn't mention that the McDonals used to be a Bank before it were repurposed (The front pictured there is used as a side entrance. The main entrance is slightly right of the picture).

The whole southeren part is known as Sørlandet, or directly translated land of south. You have talked about cabins, most people tend to own a boat, the other half a cabin. There rest owning a caravan instead of cabin. Myself I have never been fond of water or boats, and I would rather own a cabin if I could afford one.

In the southern part of northern Norway you will cross the arctic circle, that is why the north is the land of the midnight sun, for two summer months the sun will never set. and at mid winter there will be no sun over the horizon at all for two months. The northern light (aurora borealis) you kan see from september to april, the rest of the year you can not see aurora cos of the midnight sun. Up North you will meet reindeer near and on the the road, and there also is a lot of beautiful beaches, but the water is, you know, a little cold.

    Greetings from Kristiansand ! The Summer is great here, if it's good weather. It's part of the biblebelt, so alot of christians here. Norway coast has alot of rocky coast, not sandy beaches. It's nice here, but don't look any different from anybody else, or people will stare at you....! Don't talk to strangers, they might not talk back to you. Alot of cruise tourists flod the city center in Summer, but the purchase prices including food are out of this world.

Also a great test of how resilient you are to the cold :) It is said to increase the immune-system. One of the offputting things about the city is the dialect of the locals. Its quite a bit too much for many.

In order to learn more about norweigen culture, landscape and mindset, you should watch episodes of "Hvor ingen skulle tru, nokon ku bu" (Were nobody would belive, anyone could live"), a norweigen tv-show about WERY remote homesteds, farms ect. Did you know, there is this norweigen ekspression "vegløs" -mening "whitout a road"? So how do you get there? -by haiking or by boat. 😊
