Latest Kragerø hotel reviews
Rusket Says: The M/S Fjordclipper normally sails the Oslo Fjord, but each year it relocates to Kragerø in July to take tourists on sightseeing tours in the Kragerø archipelago. In 2005 the Kragerø period lasted from 1 July to 4 august, and there were two alternatives: one 3,5 hours and...
The grandparents of the national hymn
Rusket Says: Our national composer Rikard Nordraak and the national poet Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson made the song "Ja vi elsker dette landet" (Yes, we love this country), which was later made the national hymn of Norway. They were cousins, their grandparents lived in Kragerø. This memorial...
Rusket Says: The building looks ugly, but the sign is cute; It says "Biograf". A rather oldfashion word, the word "Kino" is more commonly used. They normally show two movies each day except saturdays, and the program is quite up to date.The cinema is used for concerts and other...

glamourprincess Says: A small and rather sleepy town most of the year, but crowded and buzzing in the summer. Narrow streets with wooden houses in red, white and yellow. The harbour is packed with small boats and sailboats. Kragerø has lots of different cafes, restaurants, bars and a few clubs,...
glamourprincess Says: Risør is yet a small idyllic town on the South coast of Norway. The city is characterized by its small white wooden houses and red roses clinging to the walls. The port is always buzzing with boats struggling to get a space in the very crowded harbour. You can get there by...
Explore the small island of Jomfruland
glamourprincess Says: Getting there by ferry/own boat/taxiboat you can spend a whole day exploring the beautiful island of Jomfruland. It's a long (About 6-7 KM) but narrow island. The nature is in unique and it looks more like the forests of Denmark than Norway with beech and oak trees, silky...
glamourprincess Says: There is a small boat/ferry that leaves three times a day from Kragerø town and takes you out to Jomfruland. The trip takes about 30 minutes and the price is about 40 NOK each way. It's a quite new boat where you can sit on the decks on top of the boat and enjoy the view, or...
Admiralen: Mixed chinese / malaysian and norwegian menu
Rusket Says: The little red house in front is a PUB, behind you can see the outdoor part of the restaurant. It is quite nice to sit there on nice summer days, to watch the boats on the fjord, and the busy taxi boats and ferries going to and from all the time. The restaurant entrance is...
Rusket Says: A pub, traditional english style, who also offer pizza. OK ambient, but I hate the big screen television set in the corner. Actually, I think there are two. But it's OK if you don't want to miss a football game.
Rusket Says: They know how to prepare a steak! The ambient ... oh, well, if you like old western saloons, you will love it. But kind of weird to find it here, in a south-eastern coastal town in Norway.
Skaarups: Fantastic cinnamon-roll and ice-cream!
glamourprincess Says: Skaarups is a small bakery in the middle of Kragerø town. Situated close to the "main" street in a wooden white building with tables outside. They serve some fantastic Cinnamon rolls, also called Engler (Angels). They are not as syrupy and buttered as Cinnabon (the American...
Kaffe og Juice: Cozy and little café away from the crowds
glamourprincess Says: In the summertime the narrow streets of Kragerø is filled with people and restaurants are packed. 'Kaffe og Juice' (which translated means just Coffee and Juice) is a small and intimate café located in the middle of town, but it's not easy to spot as it is situated away from...
All over downtown Krageø: Summer
Rusket Says: There is a lot going on in the summer, but almost nothing during winter. There are disco's, concerts with live music, and pubs and bars have long opening hours. Casual
Rusket Says: Several bus companies operate along the main road E18 / E39 between Oslo and Kristiansand / Stavanger. Nor-Way Bussekspress: http://www.nor-way.no/nbeweb/show.do?page=150;1081Nettbuss: http://www.nettbuss.no/telemark/Konkurrenten: http://konkurrenten.no/index1.htmlThey all...
Rusket Says: You can travel to / between the islands by ferries or taxiboats. This picture shows the new, big ferry :-) A lot of people have their private boats, both tourists and residents, and it is possible to attend guided tours.Phone nos for taxiboats: 908 84 888 - 992 70 506 - 971...
Rusket Says: They have "everything". The store is much bigger than what it seems like seeing it from outside. Most of their stuff is related to sea, but they have a lot of other things as well. Truly amazing what you can find there. But be careful when you turn around, especially if you...

A cute litte town at the south-eastern coast
Although Kragerø is only half an hour from Brøsjø by car, the climate is totally different. Kragerø is the southernmost city of Telemark, at the south-eastern coast of Norway, 194 km from Oslo, 145 km...

My family has a summerhouse on the beautiful south coast of Norway. I've stayed there for a few weeks every summer and it's nice to get away from the busy, polluted (but still lovely) city of Oslo.......

You can never be certain that the weather will be fine in Norway, not even in the middle of summer. But there are always ways to chill. Read an interesting book, drink some fresh juice and fall asleep...
