Very busy with tourists, but with its many mostly white houses it is a pearl in southern Norway and therefore worth a visit.

Grimstad impresses with its many white wooden houses and narrow streets. The Grimstad archipelago consists of pretty islands and islets. In season, boats (sometimes huge luxury yachts) swarm between the archipelago and in the guest harbour.
