Langesund Guide

Langesund Ferry Port

A small coastal town found in the south of Norway, Langesund is famous for its energetic vibe, particularly in the summer months when its full of life and colour. Fjord Line provide crossings out of the port to other coastal towns in Scandinavia, with the shortest sailing lasting around four hours and the longest sailing taking just less than a day. During summer the town has live music every evening, creating a cheerful, friendly vibe and providing endless entertainment. Langesund is a relatively small town, so all the major sights are within walking distance of each other; the trip to Tangen Fort is well worth a visit, especially during the summer months when visitors can easily access it by foot. As well as Tangen Fort, Bamble City Hall is one of the prominent sites in the area, and for those looking for something a bit different, Wrighthegaarden often has one of the top Norwegian artists performing there. The roads are unstable and fairly narrow, therefore it is difficult to navigate a car around the town centre. The uneven roads and close proximity of the major attractions mean that walking is the best option to get around, with the entirety of the city possible to cover in just under a day.
