**We have have a guestbook where you can leave comments on Kristiansand!**
December 7 2011 - note from the webmaster. Please note that this website has been built and maintained FOR FREE by a visitor (now local) to Kristiansand. I have received no money whatsoever for the site and maintain it in my free time. It was IMPOSSIBLE to find out any useful information about Kristiansand in english and that is what drove me to build this site years ago. I have tried on many occasions to get help from the Kristiansand Kommune (council) but they do not return calls or emails (so dont bother trying to contact them if you need help). Actually that is not entirely true, I did get a reply to an email (in response to my visits to their office, multiple emails and several phones calls) about a year later. I even asked them if I could work for them helping to promote tourism in Kristiansand officially, but they werent interested. This being so, (surprisingly) I would really like to work officially in Kristiansand Tourism. If you know someone that can help me get a job with them, let me know!
If you would like any help on getting independent information about Kristiansand or need some advice, you can email me at post@kristiansand-norway.com

Kristiansand experienced the worst storm in a long time on Tuesday 3rd Jan 2012. There was chaos everywhere. Flights couldn't land at Kjevik (local airport), boats and cars were damaged. Hope there isnt anymore of those!
After the last 2 years, we were expecting another very cold winter, but not so. It has been very warm for this time of year. The temperatures have been ranging from 0 to plus 10 which is a contrast from last year when the temperatures were minus 20! Even so, we recommend that you have winter tyres on your cars because it can get very slippery and dangerous! Check our Kristiansand weather page for more info or you can see the live forecast towards the bottom of this page. We will let you know when there is enough snow to ski at Tveit Skisenter (at the moment 29/12/2001 - there is none!) Just on that note, please know that the pictures on this home page are from the winter. Kristiansand is not like this all year round! We have lovely summers here. In fact, all of the seasons are enjoyable.
Here is the live weather forecast for Kristiansand.
