In charming Grimstad, you can relax and enjoy lazy summer or autumn days, stroll through narrow cobblestone streets, or find a secluded spot all to yourself. A perfect day in the Southern Norway could involve hiking along the coastal path in Raet National Park, a popular recreational area with abundant birdlife. You could also hop on a boat to the islands in the archipelago, try crab fishing, and indulge in some ice cream.
At the tourist office, you can rent a boat and explore the archipelago on your own, or you can rent a bicycle and leisurely ride along the coast and inland.
Summer in Grimstad also means cultural festivals like the Short Film Festival and the Ibsen- and Hamsun-days.
