In a nutshell
Great place to get away to
Hildeal Says: a MUST attraction, located near the harbor of Sandefjord.The artist Knut Steen made the monument in the period 1955 - 1960. The sculpture shows whalers in action and is situated in the roundabout close to the harbor in Sandefjord.
CliffClaven Says: No problem if you get lost in Sandefjord. With few highrise buildings in the town, it is easy to locate the soaring spire of the town church. It was built just over 100 years ago, and if you fail to see it, you should hear it, when its computer-controlled bells chime the...
CliffClaven Says: It is probably wiser to leave your Save the Whales tee-shirt at home if you plan to visit Sandefjord's whaling museum, which claims to be the only one of its kind in Europe. It is fairly big – well, it has to be, since one of the star attractions is a full-size model of a...
CliffClaven Says: At the end of the main street, close to the ferry terminal, you can find the monument to Sandefjord's whaling heritage. It looks great in the photos, which tend to show the fountains bubbling and sparkling around the monument, but in winter they turn off the fountains. The...
Hildeal Says: The boat goes from Sandefjord to Stromstad, Sweeden. It takes around 3 hours. Enjoy the trip and all the food in the restaurant(knee supper), it's enough food for three hours In Sweden you should take the advantage of all the cheap food there, before returning to Norway.
stiab3 Says: The Gokstad ship is a late 9th century Viking ship found in a ship burial beneath a burial mound at Gokstad farm in Sandar, Sandefjord, Vestfold, Norway. It was excavated in 1880.The actual ship is now in the Viking Museum in Oslo but a replica, Gaia is in the port in...
Hildeal Says: A place to stay the night. But remember: it's expensive!
Hildeal Says: Bjerggaten is among the oldest preserved houses in Sandefjord. They're from the begynning of the 1800 century. The people living here were trademen and seamen.Today Bjerggaten and also Breili are idyllic places which shows old house areas and wood houses which escaped the...

Promenade Cafeen: Great atmosphere
bpwillet Says: This coffeehouse is set of in an historic house just off Badeparken. Inside it is a great open area for mingling, studying, reading or just relaxing. There are local artists who have displayed their works on the walls and there is even a stage in one corner that plays host...
Igraine Says: Did i write about pizza before?? I did but they ditched from the menu some time last year a well informed source told me. So no pizza this time but pasta. And a very good pasta i must add. Penne with beef and a creamy pepper sauce. Only one word "YUM"!Its not the typical...
CliffClaven Says: Okay, now that old Cliffie has sold you the idea of a trip to Sandefjord, how do you get there? You can see from the map (click for a better view) that Torp airport, only 15 minutes by bus from Sandefjord, is attracting more and more lowcost carriers, who market the airport...
CliffClaven Says: The Color Line provides daily sailings across the Skagerrak between Sandefjord and Stromstad in Sweden. The crossing takes just over two hours and is certainly better than the drive of nearly 250 kilometres around the Oslo fjord. After that, it is only another 500 kilometres...
Sandefjord's shopping promenade: Take your pick
bpwillet Says: There are many local shops to choose from in Sandefjord. From Norwegian designer clothing to gallery-like art stores to regular department stores. These promenades are great for window shopping or picking out that last item before heading out of town/the country.
bpwillet Says: When I was walking around Sandefjord's residential area there were lots of families out swimming or just sunbathing. The woods that surround parts of Sandefjordsfjorden are great for picnics or walks.
Hildeal Says: well I should be the first to admit it, it didn't first see that my plane went to Torp airport and not to Oslo Airport. in the weekends, especially Sundays it's difficult to get from Torp airport to Oslo. the last bus to oslo went from Torp at 22.15. If you don't make it and...
bpwillet Says: If you are visiting any part of Norway you are more than likely going to come across water of some sort. If you take some time to visit Sandefjord there are some great inlets perfect for swimming. With so many small islands there are plenty of places to sit back and enjoy a...
Igraine Says: Here in this field they found the Gokstad ship that is currently in the Vikingshipmusuem in Oslo.It looks like nothing special but still they found it here. It must have been burried very deep because they found the mast still on the ship.The hill shows were it was nowadays...
Torsoyustillinga /torsoy gallery
Hildeal Says: Is located in Eftang, Larvik and it takes around 30 minutes to get there by car. There's an art gallery there, every year and three main artists like Aake berg, Dang Van Ty and Hans Normann Dahl. This years guest artist this year was Harrition Pushwagner.Free intrance. The...

Okay, I guess the photo has got your attention. The Norwegian tourist office likes to advertise the country's sandy beaches and balmy summer weather. But old Cliffie wonders just how they survive in...

This little inlet town is great for a day trip from Oslo or on your way to other areas. There is shopping, eating and some exploring to be done here but at least a few hours or a day is worth spending...

The harbour of Sandefjord late afternoon in wintertime. There are lots of lucky people in Sandefjord with a view on the sea from their houses.
