Kristiansand is one of the largest cities in Norway with about 85 000 inhabitants (closer to 120 000 with the surrounding areas). We're known for being a "Summer town", with our nice weather, beaches and beautiful Norwegian nature. Don't believe us? Look here . Or here , maybe here is better? What about HERE .

We're a friendly family city, with plenty of activities for children. For instance we have Norway's largest and most popular zoo (and amusement park): Dyreparken . Furthermore, one of Norway's largest aquatic centers is located in Kristiansand: Aquarama . Luckily for us, we'll get Aquarama all to ourselves on the evening of Saturday the 2nd of June this year!
