Fun to see tourists posting video of the city i grew up in! Hope you had a great time here!

[herenow]

What a lovely place! The peacefulness of Lillesand and the more bustling and commercial Kristiansand - glad that Zarko got to test the local beer too! Looking forward to the fjiords - thanks again for sharing -

Happy to see you enjoyed the city ive grown up in.

[Arannorway]

Nice, and relaxed video from my current hometown. Glad you enjoyed the visit. Hailing from the north, above the arctic circle, i came down here by "accident" almost 18 yrs ago, but it's definitely no accident i'm still here. 😊

Gosh this is such a wonderful town, I could live there!

[InTheVise]

Really nice video! Cool to see as a Norwegian! I live very close to Lillesand myself!

This was my first ever stop on my first ever cruise. I enjoyed the town but on reflection there was not much there but as the first ever stop, just getting off the ship walking around and then getting back on again felt like an adventure.

Watched this video on my youtube feed. I live here :) The seatrout fishing is really great here.

My grandfather was the port director in Kristiansand for many years, he created the beautiful port you see today. he made the silo, bridges, fish marked, the stupid tourist moose he bring. it seems to keep up well. The tiles in the fish marked, me and my grandmother painted the blue seagols on them =)

Should have come in July. Then you would see the harbor full of beautiful boats, flower baskets everywhere, the open market place, and lots of tourists. I would give this film a dice roll 3 for Lillesand. Also is known for its white houses.

[LetsCleanThisHouse]

Norway is not part of EU. The houses are white because what we concider «Sørlandsidyll»- the charm of the south of Norway. It was considered a really expencive colour, because it was so hard to mix. Every house painted their facade with white to show they had money for it. Althoug the outside was painted white, the test of the house was red, Yellow or any other cheaper colour. Today it’s of course the same price for the colours, but the tradition of painting it white is still going strong. Er just like it that way. However, the newer buildings are more grey/brown from steining. Best wishes from Kristiansand😊

Hi. Love your video from my hometown Lillesand. Shops and restaurant don’t close down for winter. If you had been here in July the harbour would have been completely full of tourists in their boats. And all the restaurants are full of people. When school starts in mid August the town goes back to normal with only l lokals again. Enjoy the rest of your cruise🤗
Here are a summer video from Lillesand:

Of all the places you've visited in northern Europe, which three places are your favourites?

[harvestfaithministries]

Norway is not in the EU, but yes some type of movement allowed if all checks out

[MarkSibthorpe-ygzu]

Do they call moose, elk in Scandinavia?

Beatiful city but I know what you mean by not telling about the cost of the lunch....too expensive....and did you notice that there are two different menus....one for Americans and one for the locals and
