K ristiansand is situated on the very south coast of Norway, facing the European continent and surrounded by water on three sides. The Kristiansand area is known for busy summer harbours, white wooden houses, a rocky coast with skerries and the Quart Music Festival. Kristiansand is easy to reach no matter whether you travel by car, bicycle, bus, train, ferry or plane. Kristiansand Airport Kjevik is situated 12 km east from the city centre and has good world-wide connections with daily flights. The port of Kristiansand is the second largest in Norway. Different shipping lines are responsible for trade, transport and contact with the Norwegian coast and Europe as a whole.

Kristiansand is well served by The Norwegian State Railways (NSB) and different bus/coach companies such as for example Nor-Way Bussekspress. To the east and west, as well as to the north through the picturesque Setesdal Valley, Kristiansand gives priority to safety for cyclists. Kristiansand is a pioneer town for a network of separate paths for cyclists and walkers.
