Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.
Board your motorcoach for a short drive to Posebyen, one of Kristiansand's oldest districts. Originally a working class neighborhood, Posebyen survived the great fire of 1892 that engulfed much of the city. Today, the charming streets are lined with modest, white-painted wooden homes that feature a mix of residences, shops, galleries and cafés. After a guided walk, board your motorcoach and continue to the Kristiansand Cannon Museum. After the Nazi invasion of 1940, the Germans constructed a massive shore battery near Kristiansand to protect the long strait connecting the North and Baltic Seas. Today the Kristiansand Cannon Museum is home to one of the world's last surviving Krupp 15-inch cannon. This massive artillery piece weighs over 330 tons. Tour the museum, gain a close-up look at one of the world's largest artillery pieces, and explore the historical exhibits on display in the bunkers below the battery.
