Spring in Kristiansand

Spring in Kristiansand is marked by a mild, coastal climate, with gradually rising temperatures and longer days than in many other parts of Norway, thanks to the city’s location by the sea. Already early in the season, you can enjoy outdoor dining, walks along Bystranda, and boat trips in the archipelago. Spring also signals the start of many cultural events and an expanded selection of activities in the city centre. The combination of great shopping, local eateries, and nature experiences makes Kristiansand an attractive choice for a spring getaway.
