Telemark

One of the oldest cities in Norway has excellent galleries, museum and parks and is the eastern starting point for the Telemark Canal.

Providing the perfect balance of urban and rural, inland and coastal, Porsgrunn is a desirable holiday destination for almost everyone.

Edvard Munch called Kragerø the "pearl of coastal villages", and with its lively arts scene and numerous islands, reefs and islets, this cosy little town continues to live up to its reputation.

This former industrial town features on UNESCO's World Heritage List and is now the blues capital of Scandinavia.
