Risør

Be charmed by the wooden town of Risør, "The white city by the Skagerrak". It is an experience in itself to admire the white, old wooden houses along Risør's streets and look for treasures in the many niche shops. Once you've strolled the streets, you can enjoy a great view of the Trehusbyen from the open-air area Urheia or Risørflekken. The city of art and culture as it is also referred to, houses three major international festivals that keep the city bubbling over with summer-happy people. Welcome to Risør!
