Southern Norway
Festivals
The summer tourist season draws Norwegians to the southern coast in droves. Yes, they
come partly for the beaches, but some of Norway's most popular festivals and celebrations
of coastal life also loom large.
Seaside Hamlets
Southern Norway's seaside villages showcase the whitewashed timber architecture for
which the region is famous.
Beyond Fjords
Coastal inlets of the kind that once sheltered Vikings are the topographical mainstay of the
south, but there's drama aplenty in Jøssingfjord, the rolling hills of Setesdalen and the peak
of Gausta.
