The city was originally situated on seven small islands, and Arendal is widely known as “Venice of the North”. The approach to the city of Arendal through the Galtesund fjord is probably among Norway's finest. In the city, you will find a lot of entertainment for adults and children; restaurants and cafes, many shops, playgrounds, museums, a library, a science center, and much more. A glass elevator, inside a mountain in the city center, takes you to the highest point in the city, from where you will have an unusually beautiful view. Arendal has a lot offer! Welcome!
